Amy Shark is copping serious heat online after posting a plane video that a lot of people reckon veers into “mum-shaming” territory, and her comments are absolutely lit up over it. It’s one short reel, but it has opened the floodgates on travel, parenting and who we choose to publicly roast.
The now deleted clip showed the Australian Idol judge sitting on a flight while a child screams loudly somewhere behind her, and you can see her getting visibly over it. She captioned the TikTok with a sarcastic “Yay” and ended the video like she’d had enough of the entire situation.
From there, the comments section did what it does best. One follower called her out directly, writing: “Damn that’s rude of you. That’s pretty unkind?” Another pushed back on the idea that parents were somehow failing by not silencing their kid, saying: “Parents aren’t ignoring it, they’re overwhelmed. This video is shitty.” A mum who’s about to travel with her own baby summed up the anxiety perfectly: “As a mum flying with a baby soon, videos like this just increase anxiety for parents who are already trying their best.”
Some fans weren’t just annoyed — they were questioning whether Shark herself has changed. One person commented: “I’m trying to figure out if you did this as satire or [if] you’ve changed?”, which reads like a gentle way of saying the post felt off-brand.
Others were baffled that she seemed so pressed, given she appeared to be wearing pricey noise-cancelling headphones in the video. “Oh what, your 1k headphones not cancelling the noise?” one follower asked, while another piled on with: “So your noise-cancelling headphones don’t work?”
For her part, Shark did take to her TikTok Stories to apologise for the video saying, “I’m gonna fuck up like this my whole life..”
“I’m really sorry to all mums, I fucking love mums, I love babies,” she continued.
“When you don’t have kids, you see a crying baby behind you as a funny situation, but I know now — not a funny situation, not at all.”
This incident lands on top of another headline-making moment from last year, when Shark took a very public swipe at the NRL while performing at the AFL’s Gather Round dinner at Penfolds Magill Estate in Adelaide. Playing in front of around 260 VIP guests — including AFL club CEOs, presidents and South Australian government officials — she told the room: “I’m from Queensland, so unfortunately I’ve had NRL pushed in front of me, which kind of sucks.”
She kept going, backing the AFL and criticising her old code. “We don’t need to totally drill the NRL into the ground, but you guys know what’s up,” she said, before adding: “In case someone is filming this … actually, you know what, screw them, honestly, they just screw around artists, you guys actually understand artists, thank you for doing that.” The comments carried extra sting given she previously worked as a video producer for NRL club the Gold Coast Titans before her music career took off.
Put together, the NRL spray and the plane video have painted a picture of a very messy Amy Shark era.
