Midway through the song she takes a moment to compose herself and fans speculate that she was crying.

Fans have been sharing their opinions in the comments of a YouTube video where she is seen getting emotional on stage

One user said: “Something is bothering her. She’s literally on the verge of just melting down in tears.”

Another added: “Unpopular opinion: She should take some time, whatever’s needed, off the public eye and performing, music , everything. Just like Adele does between albums. Focus on healing and come back when the time is right.

“I think whatever’s she’s going through + having to be out there for the fans is not doing her well. Just my opinion guys. Love her and wish her well always.”
