Becky Hill says being booed ‘not nice’ in first post since festivalgoers left set

Becky Hill has addressed being booed by some audience members during a surprise set at TRNSMT.

A TikTok video from the weekend showed sections of the crowd leaving while others booed when the singer revealed she would be performing an entire set of unreleased music.

The booing unfolded during Hill’s appearance as TRNSMT’s secret act on the King Tut’s stage on Friday.

When she took to the stage, Hill told fans that she decided to keep her performance under wraps because she wanted to play a set of new tracks.

But the announcement did not go down well with the crowd in Glasgow, with many booing.

The 32-year-old has now addressed the response in a video posted to her Instagram. In the clip, she shared a video taken moments after she came off stage, in which she told the camera: ‘Getting booed is not nice.

‘I haven’t found a single one of these easy, which is really upsetting because I love this job. And that’s not making me love it as much as I usually do.’

Speaking to the camera to address what unfolded, Hill continued: ‘I’ve been told about the news articles and conversations happening online around my secret set on Friday.

‘I wanted to bring a new and exclusive 30-minute set of brand new music to a festival crowd. Unannounced. And I thought it would be a great opportunity to play the new music I’ve been working so hard on and I personally love so much.’

She went on to thank the organisers of TRNSMT, who gave her the secret set stage, as well as ‘the crowd of people who you probably wouldn’t have seen online who stayed and danced with me right until the very end when we all sang Afterglow and Disconnect’.
