GLASGOW, Scotland — Taylor Momsen recently got a geography lesson while out on tour with her band The Pretty Reckless.
During a performance last week in Glasgow, the 17-year-old star referred to the audience as "the craziest crowd in the whole of England." Just one problem: Glasgow is in Scotland.
"People began to cheer as they presumed she was going to say Scotland, but when the penny dropped all you could hear was boos," concertgoer Paul Krane recalled during an interview with the Daily Record. "It was right at the start of the gig and it took the shine off it. I was really looking forward to it, but after Taylor said that it just left a bad taste. She didn't even apologize."
Actually, Momsen did issue an apology, but after the gig. On Twitter, she wrote: "Glasgow, I love you, I now HAVE to tour SCOTLAND (haha, sorry bout the slip up!)"
Still, fellow concertgoer Stuart Neilson believes the mistake ruined the show.
"You could tell people were really offended," Neilson told the newspaper. "The crowd just seemed flat from then on. There really isn't any excuse. Surely someone backstage could have said something to her."
