Camila Cabello Has Slammed Soccer Fans For Umm…Singing Their Team’s Song
Powerhouse pop vocalist Camila Cabello has called out football fans in a series of deleted tweets, leaving Camilizers (Camilla stans) to fend off hooligans.
The pop princess has gotten herself in a little predicament, after she recently performed at the 2022 UEFA Champions League Finals between Liverpool and Real Madrid. According to The Independent, the singer was booed during her performance.
This was something I will never forget !!!!!!! Dream moment for all of us! Thank you UEFA @ChampionsLeague and @PepsiGlobal, we’re so honored to be part of such a huge game #PepsiShowhttps://t.co/XeDYMiydux pic.twitter.com/DMx6ec9uAj

Following the performance, Camila took to Twitter to, in the words of Mean Girls, word vomit up her thoughts on the crowd’s reaction.
The singer accused the football fans of being “rude” for chanting and singing over her performance. “Very rude but whatever. IM GLAD U GUYS LOVED IT!!!!!” the pop star tweeted followed by a bunch of celebration emojis.
Eventually Camila deleted the tweets, but as the internet works, fans had already managed to snap a pic of the damning tweets and boy, people were pissed.
Why doesn't UEFA understand that football doesn't need a show a la Camila Cabello! are our anthems for this finale are „You'll Never Walk Alone“ and „Hala Madrid“ @LFC @realmadrid

Now-deleted tweet from @Camila_Cabello. Self-absorbed, moronic, tasteless.
Nobody in that stadium cared and I can measure those outside being tear-gassed cared even less. pic.twitter.com/SX5LmKaAQq

This is what you get when you try to “americanaze” an European event.
No one was there to see a concert, they were there to see their team play the most prestigious match of the season.
European concept of sport event is far from the Super Bowl, ppl want just to see the game.— Amy (vs life) (@rrisingphoenixx) May 29, 2022
Both fans of Real Madrid and Liverpool have shaded the pop star, labelling her as “self-absorbed” and “selfish”.
Camilizers have come to her defence, with some speculating that fans were in a foul mood after being pepper sprayed outside the stadium.
that’s not her fault? ppl were trying to bust in without tickets… rowdy fans were the cause of the hold back and that has NOTHING to do with camila

Police here have tear-gassed fans outside Stade de France who have spent more than 90 minutes trying to enter. These are fans with tickets but because of a system failure have been unable to enter. Nasty scenes. pic.twitter.com/Bqx2JrUVAj

Other users compared Camila’s performance to the violin scene in Titanic as chaos erupted outside of the stadium.

The singer has since posted that she is thankful for performing at the championship game with the other dancers and musicians. She hasn’t responded to the criticisms of her now-deleted tweets, or the treatment of fans outside of the stadium. Yikes.
From her humble beginnings on American X Factor, Cabello began her music career when she was placed in the girl group Fifth Harmony. From here, the group dominated the charts with bangers like ‘Work From Home’ and ‘Worth It’. Camila then went on to pursue her solo career in 2016, finding huge success with her debut single ‘Havana’ and scoring a role in the 2021 remake of Cinderella, starring alongside Idina Menzel and James Corden.
She was also previously in a steamy relationship with fellow singer, Shawn Mendes, and the ex-couple collaborated on ‘Senorita’ before announcing their breakup late last year.
