Noah Kahan at Rolling Stone Stateside Festival on July 4, 2026. Sacha Lecca for Rolling Stone Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has an urgent message for some of his fans: They are singing his songs wrong. In a completely cheeky bit, Kahan fact-checked some misheard vulgarities in a tweet on July 22. It’s all in good fun though, since he ended his statewide memo with “But honestly sing from whatever place your mind takes you to.”
For his viral hit “Stick Season,” he noted that the lyric is “saw your mom,” not “suck your mom.” And while some fans are singing a cruder lyric on “23,” he clarified that he’s singing “beat your ass into morning” and not “eat your …” well, you get the point.
For the coda, he pinpoints a phrase in The Great Divide track “Haircut”: the song goes “glad you got your act cleaned”; it’s not a locution about using a bidet (though in another recent tweet he pleaded with his fans to use the bathroom at his concerts).

Earlier this month, Kahan headlined the inaugural year of Rolling Stone‘s Stateside Festival on July 4. He’s in the middle of a sold-out stadium tour to celebrate his fourth studio album, The Great Divide, which arrived in April. Due to severe weather in New York City, Kahan had to cancel one of his shows at Citi Field, but was able to play the second night as planned.
