Niall Horan, the former One Direction star, caused embarrassment for an Australian fan during his concert in Brisbane on Monday night. Video shared on the fan’s TikTok account captures the Irish singer-songwriter laughing on stage at her emotional state throughout the concert.
Though the reason behind the fan, known as Courtney, shedding tears is unclear, it seems the 30-year-old found amusement in her reaction. “POV Niall finds ur pain and suffering funny,” she captioned a video of herself crying, followed by footage of the singer.
The unexpected interaction garnered attention from followers, who left comments expressing their amusement and disbelief. “Laughing was okay BUT THE POINTING TOO?? NIALL PLS,” one fan wrote, while another commented, “The point and laugh… I’m dead.” A third fan shared a similar experience, recalling, “I was at a 1D concert in 2015 with a fractured foot, I put my crutch in the air to get their attention and Niall did the exact same thing to me.”
Currently on tour in Australia, the Irish pop star was spotted enjoying leisure time at Australia Zoo on Monday. He shared an adorable video of himself cuddling with some of the park’s animals, including native Australian species like the wombat and cockatoo.
Horan was also seen conversing with Bindi Irwin, 25, and her husband Chandler Powell, 27. “What a day meeting all the amazing staff and animals at @australiazoo,” he captioned the post, receiving positive responses from both Robert Irwin, 20, and Australia Zoo.
Horan’s performance at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Sunday night included a memorable moment where he performed a ‘shoey’ for the enthusiastic crowd.
