Teyana Tayloris ensuring her concerts stay safe in the wake ofthe deadly crowd surgethat killed eight people during Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival last week.
While performing during the second night of her The Last Rose Petal Farewell Tour in Los Angeles on Monday night, the singer, 30, made sure to pause the show when a fan appeared to be in distress.
“Is she okay?” Taylor asks the crowd surrounding the fan. “Bring her up here. Is she okay? We ain’t doing that. Come on.”
Taylor instructs security to help the fan sit on the edge of the stage as the video ends.
Eight people died and more than 300 were injured at NRG Park following the chaos that unfolded at approximately 9:15 p.m. on Friday when some of the crowd of about 50,000 began to rush the stage during Scott’s performance.
As of Monday, six individuals were still hospitalized, with five in the intensive care unit. Of those in the ICU, two were “in serious, critical condition,” according to Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña. He did not release the ages of those who still remain hospitalized.
