Lady Gaga lives for the applause, not for gatecrashers.
That’s why the “Abracadabra” singer’s security banned an influencer known as Pyjama Man from her Dec. 9 Brisbane, Australia tour stop. The influencer has become known for interrupting large scale events, previously making headlines in November after rushing Ariana Grande on the carpet for Wicked: For Good’s Singapore premiere.
In videos that circulated social media, the influencer (real name: Johnson Wen) was removed from Suncorp Stadium hours before the Grammy winner was set to take the stage. The Australian native, 26, failed to disguise himself in a wig, small stick-on mustache and sunglasses.
“Got kicked out of the Lady Gaga concert,” Johnson confirmed in an Instagram Story Dec. 9. “The early fans were booing me.”
Gaga's camp has not addressed the incident, but other fans present in Brisbane noted heightened security around the stage during the show, with one writing on X, “Security at the barricade for Lady Gaga's Brisbane show was significantly increased due to stage crashing concerns.”
Johnson’s latest attempted stunt comes less than a month after he was arrested for jumping the barricade at the Wicked: For Good Singapore premiere Nov. 13 and running toward its stars, wrapping his arms around Ariana.
In the moment, Ariana’s costar Cynthia Erivo pushed the influencer off Ariana before he was apprehended by security, and—Johnson confirmed on social media after the event—arrested.
Following the debacle, Ariana—who was visibly shaken in the moment—emphasized her gratitude for the Singapore fans, writing in a subsequent Instagram Story, “We love you.”
Earlier this year, Johnson also crashed Katy Perry’s Sydney stop on her The Lifetimes Tour, hopping on stage as the pop singer performed her hit “Hot N Cold.”
While security took several moments to apprehend Johnson in the moment, Katy kept it cool as she continued her song.
"There's never going to be another show like this,” she told the crowd, “So just enjoy it.”
While Johnson has been a repeat offender, he isn’t the only fan that has interrupted a show. Keep reading for more stars who were attacked by fans on stage…
Luke Bryan
During his finale performance of "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" at the North Dakota State Fair in 2025, the American Idol judge was pelted with a flying object. However, the musician took it in stride, finishing the song without missing a beat.
As one fan noted, "Carried on like a champ."
Nick Jonas
The Jonas Brothers member had to send out an S.O.S and ask fans to stop throwing things on stage after two bracelets almost hit him at a California stop on the group's tour in 2023.
Cardi B
In case it wasn't clear, Cardi B does not like it like that. When a front row patron splashed their drink on the performer mid-set at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas July 2023, she responded by throwing her microphone.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that an unidentified woman reported a battery case the day after the concert, but noted no arrest or citations have been issued. In August 2023, Cardi's lawyers told TMZ that police informed them no chargers would be filed against the singer.
Bebe Rexha
Baby, Bebe Rexha is gonna have the best f--kin' night of her life no matter what happens. Struck in the face when a man at her June 2023 show in NYC threw a phone, she later posted a photo of her injured eye, writing, "I'm good."
Todd A Spodek, a lawyer for Nicolas Malvagna, who was arrested and charged with assault, told TMZ, "As a fan, Mr. Malvagna's sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa."
Kelsea Ballerini
Kelsea Ballerini didn't find it all that charming when someone tossed jewelry up on stage during a June 2023 performance in Idaho. "Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eyes," she wrote on Instagram Stories days later, "and it more so just scared me than hurt me."
Ava Max
Listen, she's not that sweet. Ava Max had words for the man who assaulted her during an L.A. performance in June 2023. "He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye," the "Sweet but Psycho" singer wrote on Twitter. "He's never coming to a show again."
Pink
Pink thought the fan who randomly passed her a wheel of Brie while she was singing at at London's British Summer Time Festival in 2023 was kinda grate. "What the f--k," the musician said, as she reached for the dairy. "I wanna kiss you on the mouth."
But just give us a reason for why another fan tossed a bag of ashes the very next day. "This is your mom?" the "What About Us" singer asked. "I don't know how to feel about this."
Harry Styles
A sign of the times? Harry Styles had to get away from numerous flying objects during his Love on Tour, including, inexplicably, a handful of Skittles at a 2022 show in Los Angeles. A rep for the taste the rainbow brand later tweeted, "Didn't think I needed to say this: Please don't throw Skittles."
Billie Eilish
What a boob. As Billie Eilish sang "Lost Cause" at a February 2022 show, one fan tossed a set of false boobs at her. But proving that she's, uh, breast under pressure, the seven-time Grammy winner flung them back into the crowd and kept going.
Kid Cudi
Uh, guys, he warned you. Moments after Kid Cudi told the crowd at his 2022 Rolling Loud set, "Yo, I'm going to walk off this stage, if y'all throw one more f--king thing up here, I will leave," he was pegged with yet another object. So he left.
Ariana Grande
Arianators were left feeling sour after Ariana Grande was beaned with a lemon while headlining Coachella in 2019. And though the singer was definitely not so into it, into it, into it, she brushed off the fruit, telling the crowd, "One of ya'll threw a lemon at me, s--t."
