TikToker and harpist @robyn.hearts.harp was completely unfazed by an outraged passerby as she played 'Careless Whisper' on the street in London.

A harpist on TikTok went viral after her reaction to an irate passerby had viewers applauding.

TikToker @robyn.hearts.harp posted a video of herself playing George Michael's "Careless Whisper" on the street in London when a stranger approached and threatened to have her arrested.


In the video, the harpist can be seen softly plucking out the tune before the aforementioned passerby attempts to ruffle the "beggar."

A person in the background addresses the harpist:

"I'm going to report you to Karen council."

To which she simply replies, "Alright" without ever missing a note.

The stranger then asks:

"Have you got permission?"

The TikToker, still playing, confirms that she does, in fact, have permission, but the stranger continues on.

"What even to ask people - I've never seen a beggar or anybody begging, asking people to put it on their card."

@robyn.hearts.harp responds:

"I'm not begging."

The person then asks:

"What are you doing then?"

To which she replies:

"Playing music."

As the TikToker continues playing perfectly, the stranger asks even more questions.

"Yeah but who asked you to? Do you get permission from the council?"

And once again, the harpist replied that she did.

But the stranger still wasn't done.

"If you weren't begging you would be playing music for free."

And when the creator says that she is "technically playing for free," the passerby persists:

"Why you getting the money then?"

To which the harpist answers:

"Because people wanna give money."

But still the stranger rattles:

"No, you don't ask for that, you don't put that there."

And when the TikToker explains that she isn't "asking" for money, the person says:

"You are, you have to give gift tip for £2, that is begging."
"Don't you know the difference?"

Once again—and without ever stopping the song— the TikToker dismisses the stranger:

"Alright."

And, of course, the irony of both the song choice and the "Karen council" threat was not lost on the viewers.
