Noah Kahan is making a plea to concertgoers after an unfortunate incident at one of his recent shows left fans horrified and venue staff with an unpleasant cleanup job. The singer-songwriter reacted after a viral video appeared to show feces smeared on the floor during his June 26 concert at Citizens Bank Park, prompting a characteristically humorous response from the “Stick Season” star. While Noah Kahan managed to find some comedy in the situation, he also had a message for fans: if nature calls, don’t wait.
After footage of the alleged bathroom mishap began circulating online, Kahan took to X to address the situation. “If you have to poop at a show, please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao,” the 29-year-old wrote.
The singer also spared a thought for the venue employee who was likely tasked with cleaning up the mess. “I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29-year-old, but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that,” he joked.
The Singer Then Made A Surprising Confession
As the post gained attention, Kahan followed up with an even more unexpected revelation. “I sh-t myself onstage in Charlottesville, but that’s because I am dedicated to my craft,” he wrote.
The self-deprecating confession quickly became a hit with fans, many of whom praised the Grammy nominee’s ability to laugh at himself while addressing the bizarre situation.
The Viral Video Left Fans Horrified
The online discussion began after a concert attendee shared a video showing what appeared to be a suspicious brown substance on the floor during Kahan’s Philadelphia-area show.
In the clip, a visibly shocked fan reacted with disbelief upon spotting the mess. “What the f-ck!?” she exclaimed.
The video quickly spread across social media, generating thousands of reactions and prompting Kahan’s response.
Noah Kahan Has Become One Of Music’s Biggest Rising Stars
While the viral moment may have dominated social media for a day, Kahan’s career continues to soar.
The Vermont native is best known for hits including “Stick Season” and “Hurt Somebody,” with the former becoming a cultural phenomenon and earning praise from fellow artists, including Olivia Rodrigo and Maisie Peters, who have covered the song.
Kahan has released four studio albums and earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, cementing his status as one of the industry’s fastest-rising singer-songwriters.
Beyond his music career, Kahan has been widely praised for his openness regarding mental health. The singer has frequently spoken about his experiences with anxiety, depression, addiction, and other personal struggles, often weaving those themes into both his music and public appearances.
In 2024, he expanded those efforts through The Busyhead Project, a nonprofit initiative focused on supporting organizations that provide mental health resources and crisis care for underserved communities.
“I’ve been given so many wonderful opportunities in my career, and it really is all for nothing if I don’t try and give back to the community that has supported me,” Kahan previously said. “If I can help anyone get through their struggles, it will be the proudest achievement of my career.”
Noah Kahan Has Been Candid About His Own Struggles
During Mental Health Awareness Month in 2024, Kahan shared an especially personal message with fans about the realities of living with mental health challenges. “I sometimes struggle with reconciling my passion and efforts to be someone that advocates for mental health with how sh-tty I feel most of the time,” he wrote.
The singer explained that some days involve performing in sold-out arenas and discussing how therapy changed his life, while other days are spent battling feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation.
“I share this because I want people to know, in this month especially, to remember it’s okay living in two places,” Kahan said. “It’s okay to be in a place of hurting, it’s okay to be depressed, anxious, bipolar, obsessive, or just plain exhausted.”
And while this week’s headlines may be focused on an unusual concert mishap, Kahan’s music and message continue to resonate with millions of fans around the world.
