Amid all the chaos, eyes went straight to the PA and his fanny pack behind him, which many posited looked like a diaper, and it was all any of her followers could see.

"Totally thought that guy was wearing a diaper. Had to do a double take to see it was a fanny pack," one commented, with another saying: "Bigger question is that a diaper or Fanny pack on the other guy."
