Svetlana Loboda, who suddenly became an exclusively Ukrainian singer, former soloist of the VIA Gra group, believes that all spectators of her concerts should support Ukraine. She stated this from the stage during a performance in Yerevan.
One of the spectators went up on stage, and Loboda asked her to say that she supports Ukaraina, and not just stands for peace. The woman refused, apparently stating that she had just come to the concert and did not want to talk about politics. Shouts of "Don't tell" were heard in the hall.
"Then I'm letting you go and I don't want to talk to you anymore, I can't. You came to my concert, so you have to support my position," Loboda said categorically.
A fragment of the concert video was published in the lobodainfor community on TikTok. The video has already gained almost half a million views, and not all fans are ready to support the singer's position.
"What do you mean I want you to say? I also want a lot of things, so what?", "I'm handing over my tickets! I didn't know that before coming to a concert with someone, you need to find out all their positions and support them", "I came to a concert for which I paid my money to listen to music, not to talk and listen to politics", "you're a corrupt twit, I don't care about your opinion""If I like the songs, it doesn't mean that I have to share your opinion!" the singer's fans write.
As EADaily reported, tickets for Loboda's concert in Cyprus, which took place on October 26, were sold with great difficulty.
The announcement of the concert, which, surprisingly, is written in Russian, contains a direct speech by the singer, who also stopped being shy about speaking Russian.
"I continue to do what I know best: create songs, give myself to people on stage, and most importantly, today it gives me the opportunity to help and invest in our free future in Ukraine," the singer said.
She does not specify exactly how the assistance takes place. But Loboda claims that the audience's attendance at her concerts "helps dozens of families return to their native land, to restored homes."
On the eve of the concert, about 30% of tickets were not sold.
