During the performance, a fan in the audience let out a loud, high-pitched, melodic cry as a sign of excitement and support. This cry is in some cultures a traditional way of expressing joy at concerts, weddings, and other festive occasions. However, Carpenter reacted with confusion at that moment, stopped the performance, and said the sound reminded her of yodeling, adding that she did not like it. The fan then tried to explain that it was not yodeling, but a cultural cry of joy that holds special meaning in their tradition. Instead of immediately accepting the explanation, the singer continued to express surprise and described the sound as strange, after which she resumed the concert.
