Billie Eilish didn’t exactly get the warmest reception in Miami Thursday night.

The “What Was I Made For” singer was manhandled at Kaseya Center after she exited the stage and made her way through the stadium.

In bystander video reposted to Only in Dade, Eilish, flanked by security guards, is high fiving fans who are separated by a barricade. Suddenly, someone in the audience yanks her violently into the screaming mass of people.

Ever the pro, the Grammy winner, not missing a beat, disentangles herself from the pile of humanity, regains her composure, and keeps it moving. Alongside the clip, OID wrote, “Bro really tried to take Billie Eilish home.”

Let’s hope the weekend shows go a little more smoothly for Eilish. The 23-year-old breakout star has concerts at the same venue both Saturday and Sunday nights as part of her ironically titled “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour.

The Miami Police Department told Entertainment Weekly the grabber was “ejected” after the incident.

The Miami Herald reached out to Kaseya reps to obtain further information but did not immediately hear back.
