premature adulation

clapping before the performance is done.

It was so embarrassing when all you could hear was the soloist's aria and John's premature adulation in the auditorium.

premature adulation

When you've bragged to your friends about something before it's official.

I suffered an acute case of premature adulation when I told my friends I submitted a word to Urban Dictionary...then was rejected.
