As we all know, the sudden outbreak of the Covid19 Pandemic has shook the entire world. The government has advised the people to stay indoors and go out only when necessary to avoid any risk. But, it is still a big challenge to stop people from going out. One such incident was when hundreds of people were there together for a musical concert of country singer Chase Rice.
This was Rice’s first live concert in months. But, the shocking part was hundreds of fans attending the concert without masks in a stadium.
On Saturday, Chase Rice was giving a performance for his fans in Petros, Tennessee and he was really happy and thrilled. He also wrote in his Instagram stories, ‘We Back’ accompanied by a large crowd of his fans singing his hit song “Eyes on You.”
Now, after such an event, at this time, the singer and his fans who were at the concert got the wrath of the general public on Twitter.
Reaction on the concert.

Chase Rice really held a concert and 4,000 people attended. No masks, no social distancing, crowded together. What was the point of those three long months in quarantine just to do shit like this the very moment we have flattened the curve enough that we can start to reopen?

As per reports, Country singer Kelsea Ballerini also criticised Chase Rice and expressed her feelings and anger about the concert.
Imagine being selfish enough to put thousands of people’s health at risk, not to mention the potential ripple effect, and play a NORMAL country concert right now. @ChaseRiceMusic, We all want (and need) to tour. We just care about our fans and their families enough to wait. ??♀️ https://t.co/eJaLnGu28k
