Around nine people in the crowd were attended to throughout the concert. The song I think I like You Better was halted as fans waved their touches around in the crowd to signal for medical help and during this period another two groups of fans also secured security to attend.

Then again, just one song later, Tummy Hurts was also stopped due to concerns for the crowd. The numbers of incidents increased as the night went on.

Rapp asked those at the back to take a step back to make room for those at the front as they were more often the ones who required attention. She often requested for the house lights to be brought up so that security could better reach fans.

During one part of the concert, the song Not My Fault, is always interrupted as part of a gag Rapp does with the audience to switch to play a different song. However tonight that did not run as smoothly as other nights as Rapp had to stop again for fans who needed help.

Rapp reassured the crowd the security were coming saying: ‘They are right here and ready to help you’.
