Kacey Musgravesdidn’t hold back after a fan was allegedly disrespectful toward her.

On Saturday, Nov. 30, the country star, 36, called out a fan who appeared to grab her during her concert in Tampa, Fla. the night prior.

Infan-captured footage, Musgraves told the audience of her Hollywood, Fla. concert about how she thought she was going to have to get “real East Texas” on the fan.

“Last night, this Tampa bitch," the “Space Cowboy” singer began. “She kind of ruined it. She kind of ruined it for everybody. I thought I was going to have to get real East Texas on her, take off my earrings. Florida goes hard.”

Perfan-captured videoon Friday, a fan appeared to grab Musgraves as she was walking through the crowd.

The “Rainbow” musician then stopped singing andcould be seen telling the fan, “What the f—?”

“Jesus f—ing Christ,” she then said into the mic, perfan-captured TikTok footage.

Reps for Musgraves have not yet responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment, though the musician later addressed the incident on her Instagram Stories.

“They’re lucky I didn’t instinctively swing,” she wrote. “Just because an artist — or any human — is within reach you have zero right to treat them like an object. This was aggressive, was dealt with and will not be tolerated at my shows. I walk out in the space designated for me to safely move through the crowd so I can connect on a closer lever. It’s fun until someone has to ruin it.”

Since last summer, artists have been met with troubling behavior from fans.

As recently as last week,Zach Bryanhad to pause his Tacoma Dome concert in Washingtonafter an unidentified object was hurled at himand a guitarist onstage, perfootage from Country Central.

After picking up the object, the “I Remember Everything” musician sent a glaring look in the direction where it came from as he addressed the crowd.

“Who threw this? Who was it?” Bryan, 28, asked while holding up an item. “Does anyone know?”

He gave it a few moments to see if anyone would come forward, or if others would point the person out. Unable to figure out who threw it, Bryan delivered a stern warning instead.

“Don’t throw s— at concerts, huh?” he said.

Musgraves is currently in the midst of herDeeper Well tour, which is set to wrap for the year on Dec. 7 in Nashville before picking up again on Feb. 28 in Tempe, Ariz.
