Luke Bryan, the country music sensation, handled a concert mishap with grace and professionalism.
During an encore performance of his hit song “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” at the North Dakota State Fair, Bryan was struck in the face by an object thrown from the crowd.
The incident was captured on camera by fans, showing Bryan briefly recoiling after being hit. Despite the surprise, the “American Idol” judge continued with the show without missing a beat.
“Poor Luke Bryan got hit in the face during his encore,” read the caption on a fan video shared on TikTok. “Carried on like a champ though.”
Although it remains unclear what exactly hit the singer, some fans speculate it was a bracelet or phone accessory. The incident quickly spread across social media platforms.
While Bryan has not publicly addressed the incident, his fans have come to his defense and criticized the trend of fans throwing objects at artists during performances.
“Whoever that was ruined the whole concert [because] he stopped so early,” one disappointed fan wrote.
Another comment praised Bryan’s resilience, stating, “… you know he’s a good guy when he takes that amount of disrespect and shrugs it off.”
Reports have shown an increase in incidents where musicians like Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, and Kelsea Ballerini have been hit during live performances, prompting calls for better concert security and greater respect from audiences.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Bryan’s representatives for comment on the incident.
With this incident, Bryan joins a long list of musicians who have faced similar challenges during live shows, highlighting the need for tighter security measures and increased respect from concertgoers.
