On the heels of getting hit in the face with a cell phone, Bebe Rexha appeared to wear safety goggles during a concert in Los Angeles Friday.

Local radio station 102.7 KIIS FM captured the singer's eyewear in a video posted to their Instagram.

"Best f**king night of my life ily," the radio station captioned their post.

The video shows Rexha onstage singing "I'm Good (Blue)" in a blue form-fitting sparkly top, flared dark-colored pants, and long gloves. Her hair was parted in the middle and framed the matching blue-tinted shades.

Representatives for Rexha did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

A few commenters took notice of Rexha's glasses and seemed to support her decision to wear them with one writing: "Wearing them safety glasses cause she ain't playing no more!"

On Instagram, Rexha's makeup artist Diana Shin gave fans an up-close look at Rexha's glam for the concert, which featured dark blue winged shadow and long lashes.

While it's unclear whether Rexha's glasses were for style or protection, the ladder is possible as the singer was struck in the face with a cell phone during a New York City show last month, and according to Rolling Stone, required stitches.

Nicolas Malvagna, 27, was subsequently arrested and charged with assault, the New York Police Department told Insider in a statement.

Since then, Rexha has given fans updates on her recovery and even shared a photo of her healing eye on Twitter.

Bizarrely, Rexha's injury was just the first in a spree of onstage assaults on female performers.

Just two days later, Ava Max was slapped by a fan at an LA show, and this week Kelsea Ballerini was hit by an object thrown from the crowd during an Idaho concert.

Ballerini responded to the incident in an Instagram caption that read in part: "i'm fine, let's just do a better job of keeping each other safe at shows."
