A TikTok capturing the moment a woman harassed a young busker singing on the street has gone viral.<\/p>\n

The footage was taken by Shanice Forster \u2013 a singer who regularly busks in towns and cities across the UK.<\/p>\n

She recorded the interaction with the angry woman and captioned the post: \u201cThere\u2019s always a Karen out there tryna bring you down, but it ain\u2019t happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the clip, the passerby can be heard saying to Forster: \u201cYou can\u2019t bloody sing anyway, you\u2019re putting people off.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman then threatened: \u201cYou\u2019ll get reported to the council.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forster responded extremely diplomatically, asking the woman if she was ok and explaining that she had permission from the council to perform there.<\/p>\n

She asked the angry woman, \u201cMate, I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re upset today\u201d before another lady approached and stuck up for Forster, telling the woman: \u201cShe can sing. She\u2019s got a right to sing\u201d.<\/p>\n

The clip has been viewed 2.1 million times on TikTok and Forster has been widely praised for how she reacted to the nasty encounter.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: \u201cKeep doing what you\u2019re doing and don\u2019t let anyone tell you different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cYou handled that with class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the support for the singer, others also praised the lady who came to defend her.<\/p>\n

A TikTok user said: \u201cSo much respect for the lady that stood up for you\u2026 don\u2019t know how you stayed so calm.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a follow up busking video, Forster thanked people for their support, saying: \u201cThanks for everyone\u2019s kindness. From my last post mindblown by the support.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also vowed that nothing was going to stop her from doing what makes her happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
