Which one is the correct sentence?

this one is more used in the uk than in the us:
"the audience were rising to their feet."

they consider "audience" and its similarities: staff, group, team, band etc as plural nouns.

this one is more used in the us than in the uk:
"the audience was rising to their feet."

they consider "audience" and its similarities: staff, group, team, band etc as singular nouns.

however, the possessive pronoun "their" is plural, in portuguese: "seus/suas" and "feet" is a plural noun: "pés" in portuguese.

now, which one is more correct, "the audience was rising to their feet." or "the audience were rising to their feet."?
