00:00Sabrina Carpenter is under fire after her Friday night headlining set at Coachella,
00:03all because of this moment. I don't like it.
00:07That's your culture? Is yodeling? While Sabrina was at her piano,
00:13a fan of the crowd let out a Zagruda. That's a traditional high-pitched vocal trill used in
00:17Middle Eastern and North African cultures to celebrate. Well, it confused Sabrina,
00:21which had her pause and call it weird, and sarcastically asked if it was a yodel,
00:25or if she was at Burning Man. But not everyone thought it was funny,
00:28and the internet moved fast. By Saturday morning, clips were everywhere,
00:31with fans calling the reaction insensitive and dismissive of the culture. People were also
00:35quick to remind everyone that stars like Shakira have used the Zagruda on global stages like the
00:40Super Bowl. But Sabrina didn't stay silent. She did post an apology, saying it was pure confusion
00:44and not ill-intended. She explained that she couldn't see the fan or hear clearly on the
00:49stage, and her exact words were, quote, could have handled it better. Now I know what Zagruda is.
00:54Sabrina did officially take to social media to state she's welcoming all cheers and
00:58yodels from here on out. Share your thoughts and follow what's trending for more pop culture news.
