Ricky Martin's concert in Montenegro was interrupted on Thursday night when an attendee discharged tear gas toward the stage, prompting an immediate halt to the performance. Reports indicate that the incident occurred as Martin was beginning the European leg of his tour.

Coverage of the event varies slightly among outlets. Billboard and TheWrap both focus on the safety of the artist and the disruption of the concert, framing the incident in a neutral tone. In contrast, the New York Post emphasizes the "scary" nature of the event, which adds a more sensational element to the coverage. While Billboard and TheWrap provide a straightforward account, the New York Post's choice of language suggests a heightened emotional response.

No outlet has provided details on the response from local authorities or the concert venue regarding security measures following the incident, which could offer important context about safety protocols at large events. This omission may reflect a blind spot in the coverage, particularly from the right-leaning New York Post.
