Fans outraged as Christina Aguilera charges more for plus-size merchandise

Christina Aguilera has copped backlash from fans after charging more money for plus-sized tour merchandise.

The outrage began when a fan tweeted a photo of the singer’s tour merchandise stall at a recent concert, revealing the plus-sized merch was being sold for $5 more than items in smaller sizes.

“Add $5 for all XXL and XXXL,” signs with red text in the photo read.

“Is Christina really charging extra for XXL and XXXL sized merchandise? Brutal,” one Twitter user wrote.

“ … a lot of people are pissed at @Xtina for charging plus-sized fans more for merch. I’m one of those upset!“ another said.

Others were adamant Aguilera was unaware of the discriminatory prices.

“I can assure you she doesn't set nor know the prices of her tour merch. Chill gurl! She’s an advocate of self love and would never discriminate against anyone,” one supporter replied.

In response to the controversy, the merchandise company responsible for the pop star’s tour, Live Nation, issued a statement apologising.

“There was an error in merchandise size pricing at one of the Christina Aguilera shows,” the company said, referring to the merchandise being sold at the Florida opening show.

“Christina and her team were not aware of this and the costs have been adjusted appropriately.”
