Singer-songwriter, Maggie Rogers, took to Instagram to call out a man who heckled her, telling her to take her top off — and her response is perfect.
Singer-songwriter, Maggie Rogers, took to Instagram to call out a man who heckled her, telling her to take her top off — and her response is perfect.
But you're also about to know her for calling a creepy man out on Instagram.
She became an overnight sensation after she brought Pharrell Williams to tears with one of her songs in his Masterclass.
She has had her debut SNL performance, released a studio album, and has been performing countless shows around the country.
Just before her last song of the set, while giving a speech to the crowd, two men shouted — cat-calling her.
While she doesn't know the men by name, she's hoping to, at the very least, spread her message in hopes to raise some awareness.
"It's the most vulnerable part of my set."
"Last night, in the middle of my speech a man yelled 'take your top off."
"I was stunned. Furious. Fuming. Confused. And also — on a really basic level — it really hurt my feelings," she continued.
"And my community shows up every night and together, we create a safe space to amplify each other," she wrote.
"I step on stage every night with a deep reverence for the stage, my craft, and the privilege that is making music for my job."
"My body is the greatest tool for communicating that work," she explained. "I want to use this moment to be very very clear."
"Be kind to each other out there," she concluded.
Can we get a slow clap for Maggie Rogers, please?
Maren Morris, a fellow artist, chimed in, thanking Maggie for speaking out and reminding people that artists are people too — with feelings.
Hopefully, those men see Maggie's post and it makes them reconsider their actions in the future!
I love how this person specified she's disappointed in the "trash" men of Austin, instead of generalizing the whole gender — how thoughtful.
Let us know what you think of Maggie's Instagram post, calling out a man that told her to "take her top off"!
