"I'm so sorry everyone, this has never happened before but my hand is frozen, I'm just going to warm it. I'm so embarrassed. My hand's like a claw!," she said as the crowd cheered.

A fan who took a video of the moment added that the star said, "I have done [a] million shows on this tour and my hand has never decided just to like… it's like forming a claw. Does anyone... no one relates, anyway."

She massaged her hand before continuing on to strum her guitar and complete the song.
