  "account": "Sombr, the pop star, recently expressed frustration with a concertgoer in Columbus, Ohio, who continuously flipped him off during his Sunday performance. The singer/songwriter, visibly somber, called out the man, telling him, \"It's really making me sad, man. I don't appreciate it. This is a safe space. I want everyone here to be kind to each other.\" Sombr urged the audience member to stop flipping him off, stating, \"Man, I don't know why you're coming to my concert if you're gonna keep flipping me off. It's all love, but please, please don't flip me off at my show.\" This incident wasn't the first time Sombr had dealt with negative behavior during his tour, which supports his Billboard 200 No. 10 debut album I Barely Know Her. The singer had previously defended himself against a viral TikTok bashing his concert performance and had also received advice from Taylor Swift on how to handle such negativity.",
