Cyndi Lauper Curses Out Heckler During Las Vegas Residency: ‘I’m Going to Come for You’ 

Cyndi Lauper is clearly not one to be messed with.

“I don’t know what the f*** he’s saying,” Lauper, 72, said in the middle of her Friday, April 24, concert in Las Vegas after an attendee shouted at her from the crowd, per footage obtained by Us Weekly. “Please remember where you are, OK?”

She continued, “If you’re trying to shade me bitch, I’m going to come for you. I’m from Brooklyn, and if I want to f**ing talk, I will do a tap dance if I f**ing want.”

Lauper was met with a rousing round of applause from the remaining concertgoers before continuing with  the opening night of her Las Vegas residency.

“Hey, we’re in Vegas! I can’t believe it,” the music icon said in a Facebook video earlier this week, teasing her upcoming run of concerts. “[There] will be a couple of surprises in the show, but you have to come and see it. Not gonna tell you. I’m excited! Anyway, come on down [because] it’ll be a night of Cyn! I’ll see you at the show.”

Lauper previously wrapped her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Tour before tackling the Sin City stage. She called the tour her “farewell” concert.

“It’s an arena tour, which I haven’t done in a long time,” Lauper told USA Today in June 2024 after announcing the concerts. “I just want to thank everybody, say goodbye, celebrate with fans that have been so loyal and sweet and were there for every crazy-ass concert or thing that I did and I’m excited about doing it. I don’t think physically in another five years I will be as good, but now I can do it, you know?”

She continued at the time, “I’m going to include a piece of everything … and combine art and moving visuals, use a lot of color and design. I haven’t had a fun tour since ’84, so now it will be the ‘24 fun tour!”

The Grammy winner has been a prolific force since the ‘80s thanks to hits such as “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “True Colors,” and Lauper hasn’t slowed down since.

“I’m half-Sicilian. Where I come from, the women endure,” Lauper exclusively told Us Weekly in 2018, detailing her empowering outlook on aging. “The women are here longer, so you gotta keep yourself healthy and that’s the most important thing to me.”
