Others acknowledged the song choice might not have been ideal, but the prevailing sentiment was one of pride. “Definitely the wrong song choice… but we are Victors.” Supporters from across the globe joined in, noting the reaction from the Northern hemisphere and observing the divide in emotions. Stating, “Love you, they are crying blood in the comments, the Northern hemisphere is angry.” In the end, the fun and jubilant atmosphere prevailed, with one fan humorously remarking. “This definitely ain’t the music he’s dancing to.”
