Country music star Scotty McCreery gave his fans an unforgettable moment recently, and it wasn’t just for his singing. While performing during Kane Brown’s The High Road Tour, Scotty accidentally slipped and fell on stage — and though it looked painful, it was his pride that took the biggest hit.
The moment was caught on video and later shared by McCreery himself, showing that even the pros can have an off-balance moment on stage. But Scotty handled it like a true performer — with a smile, a joke, and a fist bump to the crowd.
What Happened During the Fall?
While performing his song “Fall of Summer,” McCreery got into the groove of the show. He danced along, mimicked firing a shotgun into the air, and leaned back for extra dramatic effect. But just as he pulled the imaginary trigger, his balance gave out and he fell flat, with only his left hand catching the fall.
Fans held their breath, but McCreery quickly got back up and tried to laugh it off. Looking cool, he turned to the crowd and joked, “Who put that there?” pretending like he had tripped over something on stage.
Was He Hurt?
After the show, Scotty gave a quick update in a backstage video. He mentioned that his left wrist was hurting a bit since that was the only part of his body that tried to break the fall. Thankfully, it wasn’t a serious injury — but his band wasn’t letting him forget it.
When asked about their favourite part of the night, several band members joked that Scotty’s fall was the highlight. One even said, “I was the last one to go to the hospital after falling, so I was a little concerned — but also, it was kind of fun to watch!”
Fans and Fellow Artists React
Fans flooded the comments with jokes and light-hearted teasing. One cleverly commented, “Too much cab in a solo?” — referring to one of Scotty’s song lyrics. Another fan took a trip down memory lane, reminding everyone about the time McCreery fell off stage back in 2012 when he was opening for Brad Paisley.
That 2012 fall was so memorable, Paisley even put cones and caution tape around the stage the next night as a joke. Fellow singer Chris Lane also chimed in, saying he’s had similar slip-ups “a million times.”
A Good Sport All Around
What makes this moment so memorable isn’t just the fall, but how McCreery reacted to it. He didn’t try to hide it or pretend it didn’t happen. Instead, he leaned into the joke, shared the clip with fans, and laughed along with everyone else. It’s a reminder that even stars can stumble — and still shine.
