I saw Stevie look a bit perplexed and teeter forward a little while her assistant pulled her back. Then she started to chide the person causing the ruckus, and told him or her to "STOP" quite directly. Of course, by the time she got to me, the incident was still fresh, and so she was quite distracted and I couldn't even say anything to her. I really wanted to just tell her that I admire her courage coming out on tour so soon after a personal tragedy and that I wished her and her family the best. Sigh, oh well...

Although that incident was jarring enough, it seemed Stevie was in good spirits about it at the very end after "Love Is." She did her little bows and walked up to the front of the stage, and then gave a side glance over to my end of the stage to whomever caused the incident. She did this cute little mock-chiding point-and-stare, and then shadowboxed with her hands for a second or two. It was adorable lol.

You must have been right near me! Wonder if we met? I was the brown haired girl in a strapless navy dress. Apologies if I know you--I'm terrible at keeping track of Ledge names.

I was, incidentally, right in the thick of it. The guy had been extremely loud all through the show, and wound up right next to me for the edge walk. As Stevie was taking my hand, he grabbed her fairly aggressively. She flinched, but kept moving. He kept frantically grabbing for her, and in the process, hit me in the face with his left arm, which Stevie saw. She looked very concerned, told him to get back, and looked back at me and my friend to ask if we were okay. She did lose focus on the next few people, and I'm so sorry it shook out that way.

Later (right before bows, I think?) she came back over, pointed at me, and did a cute little dance, mock boxing. It was insanely cool, and made getting hit completely worth it.
