Noah Kahan has issued a statement to furries, saying they’re welcome at his concerts.
The folk star’s ‘Great Divide’ tour stopped in Pittsburgh last night (July 4), happening to coincide with the furry convention which was also in town.
Ahead of the gig, Kahan gave a message to all furries in the city, writing on X: “Pittsburgh: if you are caught between attending the worlds largest furry convention or my show tonight then please know you are welcome to combine the two.”
Then, responding to a fan who asked what his “fursona” would be, he posted, “Squid man.”
On stage that night, Kahan told the crowd: “Furries are welcome. All the animal kingdom is welcome tonight,” adding: “I don’t see any so far but I will be looking and asking a lot of questions after the show.”
Kahan extended the joke throughout the night and at one point even borrowed a fan’s furry mask to wear. Later on, he also took a phone call from the “National Centre For Furry Awareness” at the prop payphone booth on stage
“The National Centre For Furry Awareness? Oh, they don’t have sex… not necessarily? Okay, well that’s good to know,” he said. “If there are any furries in the crowd, say, ‘Hell yeah,'” he added. Watch below.
