Clairo tells men at her shows to “stop yelling at me”

Clairo, whose real name is Claire Cottrill, has a small request for her concertgoers. After a performance in Portland last night, the musician took to social media to encourage her male fans to be more respectful.

“Portland was fun!” she wrote. “Can the boys at my shows stop yelling at me?” She added: “To be clear: it's okay for men to enjoy my music. You don't have to be embarrassed that you like my music. But if you come to my shows, at least be respectful to me and the other people in the audience! Thanks.”

Although it's unclear what happened during the concert that led to Cottrill's post, some fans took to social media to share their experiences after Cottrill tweeted. One fan wrote: “I had an absolutely amazing time but I'm not sure the crowd was terrible and I just want to talk about the shitty things that happened. I love Clairo and have always loved Clairo. It's just extremely disappointing to see this behavior from crowds. “This is in no way their fault.”

The same fan posted a short video of Clairo's performance, in which the singer calls on the crowd to not pay attention. “Have any of you heard this song?” The musician can be heard in the video. “What the fuck?”

In another video posted by a Spanish-language Clairo fan account, Cottrill tells the audience: “You know, we've had some really good crowds on this tour and I'm just wondering if you could be one of them. Or maybe even better than them. Big shoes to fill, Portland!”

Clairo is currently on her Charm tour in North America in support of her latest LP. charm. Last night she performed at the McMenamins Historic Edgefield Manor in Troutdale, Oregon, near Portland. The tour is scheduled to last until November 8th and then end in Atlanta. Clairo is also scheduled to perform at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City.
