Kanye West put on a free concert in Armenia on Sunday, but the show was shut down after the rapper jumped into the lake and a mob of fans did the same. His wife, Kim Kardashian, took to Twitter to announce that Kanye would do a free concert [1] at midnight, and later, she followed up with tweets and pictures about the "crazy night." So what, exactly, prompted the show to be shut down? While performing "Good Life," Kanye spontaneously decided to jump into Swan Lake, and fans took the opportunity to join him. Soon, security guards had to wade into the lake to help him out, and police were forced to shut down the concert [2] entirely. On Twitter, Kim explained, "Thousands of people were there! Kanye jumped in Swan Lake to be closer to the crowd on the other side & so many people jumped in too!" Keep reading to check out a video of the moment plus Kim's tweets and pictures, then see why the Kardashians' trip to Armenia matters [3].
