Chilean-Mexican singer-songwriter Mon Laferte was struck near her left eye by a mobile phone thrown from the audience during a concert in Las Vegas on 5 November 2026, forcing her to leave the stage briefly before returning to finish her performance.
The incident occurred during Laferte's Femme Fatale Tour at the Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort. Footage circulating online showed the singer reacting to the impact while performing her song 'Amárrame'.
A woman was subsequently escorted from the venue, although her identity and whether she was responsible for throwing the phone have not been independently established. Laferte later reassured fans that she was OK and said she did not believe the concertgoer had intended to hurt her.
Phone Strikes Mon Laferte Near Left Eye During Performance
Videos recorded by audience members showed a mobile phone flying towards Laferte as she performed near the front of the stage on Thursday evening. The object struck the left side of her face, close to her eye, prompting the singer to raise her hands towards the affected area and move away from the audience.
Laferte briefly left the stage while members of her team assisted her. Her dancers and musicians continued performing during part of the interruption, which lasted several minutes.
Other footage showed a woman being escorted from the venue as audience members booed and shouted. However, the recordings do not conclusively establish whether the woman shown leaving was the person who threw the phone, or if they were being escorted out for different reasons.
The concertgoer's identity has not been publicly confirmed, and no verified account of her intentions has emerged.
Laferte Says Concertgoer Did Not Intend to Hurt Her
On 6 November 2026, Laferte addressed the incident in a Spanish-language post on X, reassuring followers about her condition and asking audiences not to throw objects onto the stage.
Estoy bien 😊 la Chica no lo hizo con mala intención, pero no vuelvan a lanzar nada al escenario nunca más 🙏

Mañana y pasado
Nos vemos en el Kia Forum en Los Angeles! Y se acaba la gira por USA
Los amo ❤️
'I'm okay 😊 The girl didn't mean any harm, but please don't throw anything onto the stage ever again 🙏,' she wrote, translated into English.
Laferte did not disclose whether she received medical treatment following the impact.
Her message also referred to her performances at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on 7 and 8 November, which marked the final two US dates of her Femme Fatale Tour. The Las Vegas incident occurred shortly before those concerts, with footage spreading across social media as fans shared recordings of the interruption and the audience's response.
Neither the venue nor the singer's representatives were confirmed to have issued a separate public statement detailing the circumstances surrounding the phone.
Bebe Rexha and Harry Styles Previously Struck by Thrown Objects
Laferte joins several performers who have been struck by objects thrown from audiences during live concerts. Some incidents have more serious consequences than the ones Laferte experienced in the concert.
On 18 June 2023, American singer Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a mobile phone while performing at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City. Rexha sustained a facial injury, including bruising around her left eye and a cut requiring stitches. She was taken to hospital for treatment. Nicolas Malvagna was subsequently arrested and charged with assault in connection with the incident.
British singer Harry Styles experienced a similar disruption on 8 July 2023 during a concert at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria. Footage showed an unidentified object thrown from the audience striking Styles near his eye. He briefly reacted to the impact before continuing his performance.
