BBC Biggest Weekend posts apology after Demi Lovato tells crowd ‘love who you wanna love’ (metro.co.uk).

Demi Lovato, Biggest Weekend 2018 Demi Lovato—The Future Now
The BBC posted an onscreen apology during Demi Lovato’s performance at the Biggest Weekend, and it appeared to be because she did a sexy dance with a woman and told the crowd “love who you wanna love.”

Demi alluding to her professed bisexuality doing a racy, touchy-feely and at times on floor dance with a female dancer during the performance of second song “Cool for the Summer” on the Swansea Main Stage in the late afternoon before shouting “Love who you wanna love and go tell your mother!”

An apology message then appeared on screen for those watching on iPlayer which read: “We apologise if you have been of offended by anything in this stream.“

Indeed, not quite as if pants were pulled down and tongue was put where it just shouldn’t go onstage with the Beeb, which was pretty much the reaction on social media:

“see if this “we apologise if you’ve been offended by anything in this stream” message on #BiggestWeekend is about @ddlovato dancing sexually with a girl don’t apologise for people choosing to be offended lol”

And:

“Yeah I’m offended that I can’t be there! @bbcmusic #TheBiggestWeekend #DemiLovato”

The Beeb soon claimed the apology was in fact due to bad language which was not broadcast to all listeners—and I certainly didn’t hear any—rather than for causing causing #stankface in some watchers while others were unable to stop pulling or rubbing them self off no matter who was present at the time in the room.

If she did swear then the apology was better than what met Lorde’s performance at last year’s Big Weekend:

Lorde’s Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2017 live set axed after swearing on the main stage! (twitcelebgossip.com, May 2017).

Radio 1 were live streaming the festival on the radio and BBC iPlayer, but unfortunately Lorde swore during her set and it was axed.

Indeed, but Swifty is certainly unlikely to cause as much fuss with her co-headlining Reputation set later barring Kanye leaping out on stage intent on getting her to hold his serpent.
