Camila Cabello didn’t work from home this weekend.

The singer performed in a nearly empty venue in Atlanta, Ga., on Sunday — and wild photos of the show have gone viral on X.

“that s–t was EMPTY,” one social media user tweeted the following day, blasting the former Fifth Harmony member, 27, as a “flop.”

The same hater shared a screenshot over the weekend showing that “just around 30 percent of the tickets [had] sold out” to the State Farm Arena show.

Another troll asked, “true question why do some singers do this? if you know u cant sell arenas why do them? isnt it just extra costs for no reason and embarrassment?”

Some, however, came to Cabello’s defense for still taking the stage — including Mod Sun.

Another claimed, “She’s in it for the long run y’all don’t get it.”

Cabello, who headlined the show along with Myles Smith and Knox opening, gushed over her faithful followers afterward.

“Being a fan is a transformative and creative and sacred endeavor,” she wrote in a lengthy Instagram caption Monday. “And the artist who gives to their community also gets, in the form of love, inspiration, and trust.”

The Grammy nominee went on to write about how “honored” she feels to have fans, calling it “one of the sweetest relationships [she’s] known.”
