What's Happening?
Folk singer Noah Kahan has publicly addressed a peculiar and unsanitary trend among concertgoers, urging fans to use restrooms instead of defecating at shows. This plea follows a viral TikTok video showing feces on the ground at one of his concerts. Kahan humorously
engaged with the incident by having fans at a Toronto show pledge not to defecate in their pants. The trend of wearing adult diapers to concerts, which gained attention during the Eras Tour, has been noted by other artists like Olivia Rodrigo. Kahan is currently on The Great Divide Tour, which includes nearly 60 dates across North America and Europe.
Why It's Important?
