But come on this guy probably paid upwards of $750 or more just to hear some songs and not very good ones either.

Pretty much all of her recent concerts have contained politial statements of some kind, so one should pretty much expect to hear some in her shows. If this man attending her concert didn't know that, then he's a bit of a fool in my book.

Now that's heckling.
