While Paula celebrates her 62nd, some fans aren’t sending birthday wishes her way after the pop star missed the first two dates of the Magic Summer Tour with no explanation.
‘LOOK WHO SHOWED UP’
The Magic Summer 2024 Tour kicked off on June 14 at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio – but Paula didn’t take to the stage.
She also missed the second show of the tour at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois, on June 15.
Under Paula’s birthday post, furious fans are slamming the performer for not giving a reason for her absence and only recognizing her first show as the third date of the tour.
“Oh look who showed up… would have been nice if u performed Friday!!!” one slammed.
“Ha! You say you finally got the first show under your belt even though there were 2 other shows before tonight that you didn’t show up too without an explanation or apology to the fans who paid to see you,” another wrote.
“I would’ve loved to have seen you on Friday night in Cleveland.”
“What happened in Illinois, you never showed up, left the crowd hangin!!!” a third demanded answers.
“Wish we could’ve seen you in Chicago,” a fourth wrote.
Paula has yet to address the missed shows.
