Country singer Kacey Musgraves says she almost had to go “east Texas” on a woman she dubbed “this Tampa b—-” after a fan encounter during a Florida gig.

The 36-year-old from Golden, Texas told audience members in Hollywood, Fla. that she thought she might have to get violent when a fan tried to grab her arm as she walked through the crowd at the Amalie Arena while singing, according to Fox News.

The woman’s actions, which were caught on video and posted to social media, caused Musgraves to stop and ask “What the f—?” She then walked to the stage while cursing again.

The next night in Hollywood, Fla.,, Musgraves addressed the incident in Tampa, which was also recorded by a fan.

“Last night, this Tampa b—h,” she said, drawing boos from her faithful. “Ya’ll, I know, She kind of ruined it. She kind of ruined it for everybody.

“I thought I was gonna have to get real east Texas on her. Take off my earrings.”

Fans responding on social media were baffled why the grabby woman in Tampa would put her hands on Musgraves and backed the Grammy winner’s actions afterwards.

“I hate seeing how quick they stole the smile off her face, who does that?” one person wrote, according to Fox News.

“She’s better than me cause I’d have them kicked out by security,” added another.

One fan even suggested Musgraves should have gone off physically on the offender.

“Normalize these artists/celebrities defending themselves and watch it stop,” the fan wrote. “(Be)cause when they actually react the ones in the wrong in the eyes of the public is the celebrity.”
