Anita Baker fans were all sorts of excited to see the legend last night (May 11) in Atlanta. However, attendees were given a rude awakening, because the ‘Sweet Love’ belter’s concert was canceled minutes before showtime and left many of them feeling sour.
Full story below…
The songbird was set to nest on stage at the State Farm Arena with the aptly titled show ‘An Evening with Anita Baker.’
However, per many attendees, the following alert went out minutes before the show was scheduled to start and when doors had already opened. It read:
“Due to late, unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s “An Evening with Anita Baker” event featuring eight-time Grammy Award-winning superstar Anita Baker set to take place at State Farm Arena has been canceled. Refunds will be returned at the point of purchase.”
Suffice it to say, fans were less than impressed. One disappointed attendee took to social media to blast Baker’s “bald-headed a**.“
The woman vented, saying:
“I’m p*ssed! Anita’s bald-headed a** canceled the concert. I been waiting for her since January and her bald-headed a** canceled like the concert. Look at us. We all standing out here ready, waiting, and her bald-headed a** canceled the concert last minute. P*ssed!”

It’s far from the first time that Baker has been embroiled in drama related to her live offerings.
Indeed, she made headlines in earnest after she sensationally dropped Babyface from her 2023 tour. She also was on the receiving end of critique for her “brutal” performance of the US National Anthem at the NFC Championship Game last year.
Yikes, yikes, and yikes!
