While you go to a Madonna live performance, you need to eat earlier than, you need to get lit earlier than, and also you’re going to attend about two hours and take heed to a DJ.”
Nonetheless, the group famous that almost all acts together with Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez and extra, all begin their reveals on time.
“Insert any particular person’s title who’re two hours late. It’s disrespectful,” Sara Haines added. “You’re actually flipping off your followers who paid to come back and watch you. You could be a diva. You shouldn’t act like a diva. To me, Madonna will not be there.”
Haines continued, “Beyoncé? At all times on time. Taylor Swift, Pink, that’s known as respectful. It’s the way you’re raised. You respect somebody’s time the way in which you count on them to respect yours. You confirmed up right here. They paid a whole bunch of {dollars}.”
