Overview
- During Eilish’s first Miami concert at the Kaseya Center on Oct. 9, a concertgoer grabbed her and slammed her into the barricade before security intervened.
- An 18-year-old fan identified as Aniyah, recognizable by a red bandana, chased down and confronted the person as security escorted him away, with the encounter captured in widely shared videos.
- Eilish privately thanked Aniyah days later by sending a sweatshirt and other merchandise, according to a photo the fan posted on Instagram.
- Local police told ABC News the attendee was ejected from the venue and that no further action was taken, and Eilish has not issued a public comment.
- Aniyah’s intervention drew viral attention, earning her hundreds of thousands of new followers, a shout-out from Finneas, and free pit tickets from StubHub, as the tour moves next to Orlando on Oct. 14.
