During a performance in Sin City last week, the "Hell or High Water" crooner — who was opening for Morgan Wallen on his "One Night at a Time Tour" – was forced to remove his shirt after being greeted by boos from the audience.
Zimmerman, who took the stage wearing a Las Vegas Raiders shirt, poked fun at himself on social media by sharing a fan's video of the moment he realized the audience didn't quite approve of his decision to rock the NFL team's gear.

In the video posted on TikTok, the country singer was in the middle of a performance as the crowd booed. After a confused Zimmerman pointed to his shirt and gave a thumbs down, the crowd cheered.
"You're the man for continuing on."
— Bailey Zimmerman fan"You guys want me to take it off, or what?" he asked the crowd before removing his shirt.
The 24-year-old continued the rest of his set shirtless – and the fans were all about it.

"You're the man for continuing on," one fan commented on Zimmerman's Instagram. "That ain't easy."
"You handled it so well!! We definitely weren’t booing you, just the shirt!," another explained. "The Raiders are very new to Vegas and not really the locals team. Next time in Vegas wear a Vegas Golden Knights hockey jersey and the crowd will go wild."
A representative for Zimmerman didn't immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"You can't be mean to people and expect people to tolerate it," Pearce told People magazine of the incident. "Especially as women, we're conditioned to kind of just take it, and I want that stigma to go away because we deserve to be able to stand up for ourselves."
"People need to be nicer. I hope that people are nicer and maybe think a little before they speak," she added.

"Get out of my show," Pearce shouted from the stage, pointing directly at someone. "If you're gonna be an a--hole, you're gonna have to say it to me and get the f--- out of my show."
"I do not have time for d---s," she said, garnering roars from the crowd. "See you later!"
The disgruntled fan reportedly shouted "No one cares" when Pearce began talking about herself during her concert. (Getty Images)
