Music icon Dionne Warwick wades into viral Brittany Broski Apple dance push taking over the internet
Dionne Warwick is weighing in on the viral video in which a man appeared to push influencer Brittany Broski as she danced to Charli XCX’s popular song Apple at a recent show in Southern California.
The famed singer, 83, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this weekend, responded to the viral images on X/Twitter on Monday.
“This is just crazy,” the East Orange, New Jersey, resident said, adding the phrase, “Safety!”
The singer, whose hits include I Say a Little Prayer and Do You Know the Way to San Jose, was one of thousands of people to share their thoughts on the incident involving TikTok influencer Broski, 27.
Broski was one of 17,500 fans in attendance at Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles earlier this month, according to the Yahoo Entertainment affiliate Pride.

Broski wore a black wig with bangs during the Sweat Tour show, where she appeared on the jumbotron as Apple was performed.
The song features an additional dance that went viral thanks to a display on TikTok by actor Kelley Heyer, which allowed Sweat Tour to have a special Apple dance camera during the concerts.
While Broski — whose kombucha sampling clip five years ago made her an influencer — was dancing, a man in a net appeared to burst into her space in a clip filmed during the show, then started dancing to the song .
The incident involving the social media star sparked several reactions, with one user claiming the exchange was “premeditated” on the part of the pusher.
“I keep analyzing this video because he pushed Brittany Broski so seamlessly that she didn’t even know what was going on,” one user said. ‘And then he immediately got into position. It’s like he planned this.”
Another user said: ‘I’m not a Brittany Broski supporter but the second girl was just dancing with someone and the guy completely pushed her away.’
One user added, “I’m going to say it, I don’t care if Brittany Broski got pushed aside.”
Another user said it could be “Brittany Broski who got pushed while doing the apple dance for Halloween.”
