The singer momentarily paused after being hit, visibly startled by the impact. The audience reacted with concern, with several fans audibly shouting "No!" and one person appearing to shout an apology. Despite the interruption, Eilish quickly regained her composure, tossed the necklace aside, and continued her performance.

This incident adds to a growing list of similar occurrences involving performers being struck by objects during concerts. Notable cases include:

  • Cardi B: Had a drink thrown at her in Las Vegas
  • Ava Max: Slapped by a stage rusher in Los Angeles
  • Harry Styles, Drake, and Kelsea Ballerini: All hit by various objects during performances
  • Zach Bryan: Recently struck in the leg during a performance, prompting him to address the audience directly

These incidents highlight an ongoing concern regarding audience behavior at live performances and the safety of performing artists.
