Pop star Sabrina Carpenter sparked outrage following a moment during her Coachella performance where she confused an Islamic celebratory call with yodeling, telling the crowd she was not a fan of the shrill ululation.
The incident unfolded Friday as Carpenter sat at a piano gearing up to play her next song when someone in the crowd could be heard doing the Islamic call, known as a “zaghrouta.”
“I think I heard someone yodel,” Carpenter remarks, playing chords on the keys as more people make the sound.
“Is that what you’re doing?” she asks, as the calls continue.

“I don’t like it,” she adds, prompting laughter among the audience.
“It’s my culture!” a woman can be heard telling Carpenter.
“That’s your culture, is yodeling?” Carpenter replied, with the woman attempting to explain it was a “celebratory call.”
“Is this Burning Man? This is weird,” Carpenter added, clearly confused.
The singer later faced backlash from fans upset she had mocked the Islamic call, with some labeling her xenophobic, uncultured and racist, and calling for her to be “cancelled.”
“I’m in a complete shock,” one angry Islamic fan complained on X. “I used to be a huge sabrina carpenter fan and now she’s mocking my culture and calling me ‘weird’, this is so racist and inappropriate and it made me feel uncomfortable. this white blonde racist woman should be cancelled.”

Another fan claimed Carpenter “being uncultured and proud is actually a disease,” adding “the mean girl act isn’t cute anymore, it’s just xenophobic. she’s done.”
Others were equally unimpressed by the “yodeling.”
Wow this is extremely unpleasant, thanks for teaching me about it.

I would definitely prefer not to hear it during a quiet song at a concert. https://t.co/sKbdk1KpXA
The outrage culminated in Carpenter releasing a message Saturday apologizing for her reaction, claiming she couldn’t hear or see the fan properly and that her reaction was sheer confusion and sarcasm.
