Jack Antonoff addressed rumors he was being “disrespectful” by wearing AirPods during Katy Perry’s VMAs performance. Here’s what actually happened.
It wasn’t to throw shade, BTW.
Jack Antonoff is clearing up the rumors. After the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 11, viewers noticed that Antonoff took something out of his ears after Katy Perry finished performing. Critics on X (formerly called Twitter) accused Antonoff of being “disrespectful,” assuming he wore AirPods to block out Perry’s singing. But the truth isn’t nearly as shady.
Antonoff addressed the speculation on X, and he went heavy on the sarcasm. “i would like to tell you directly from me that i did in fact use earplugs the other night,” he wrote on Sept.
