Grimes is known for her electrical energy during performances, but things got amped up a little too much when the "Flesh Without Blood" singer was shocked during a performance in Dublin, Ireland on Tuesday (March 15).

According to Stereogum, faulty audio equipment was to blame for the shocks sustained by Grimes. The artist also had to stop a few songs partway through because of other technical mishaps. Despite the multiple shocks, Grimes finished the show. As reported by NME, Grimes also used Twitter to tell fans that she was “fine” following the performance and that she was excited to make another trip to Dublin.

The performer also posted a note to her Instagram apologizing to the Olympia Theatre in Dublin following claims that the venue was responsible for the technical mishap.

“We’ve triple checked everything and haven’t yet discovered what the issue was,” she wrote. “The Irish promoters were nothing but lovely and I don’t want them to take the blame for something that was most likely on our end. I also want to reiterate that everyone on my team and especially my audio guys did everything they could without stopping the show.”

 Hey! just wanna apologize to the Olympia theatre that I originally thought they were responsible for the electrical issues at last nights show. We've triple checked everything and haven't yet discovered what the issue was. The Irish promoters were nothing but lovely and I don't want them to take the blame for something that was most likely on our end. I also want to reiterate that everyone on my team and especially my audio guys did everything they could without stopping the show, but it was some kind of an issue w the vocal channel so even whilst bypassing the pedal I was getting gunshots through the vocal channel into my monitors. Perhaps it was an angry ghost. Anyway this probably doesn't make any sense to non-musicians, but w regards to the inside baseball I just wanted to say something so no one loses their job or gets in trouble for an issue that, as far as I can tell, was outside of everyone's control. Anyhow haha, apologies for the long and insane post, about to get on a 12 hour flight so hopefully this won't cause further press drama. :) and thanks again to the Irish fans!!!! I cannot reiterate how grateful I am to y'all for letting us trouble shoot between songs and for singing me happy bday and being all around jovial. Xxxxx Ps: Photo cred: @aisling_kraus
