Things got a little wild at the North Dakota State Fair this weekend when country superstar Luke Bryan was smacked in the face by a flying object during his set. The culprit? A rogue stress ball, hurled from the crowd right as Luke was tearing into his hit “Country Girl (Shake It For Me).”
A clip of the moment quickly made the rounds on TikTok. You see the impact, a quick pause, and then—classic Luke—he gives a slight smirk, shrugs it off, and keeps the show rolling. The man didn’t miss a beat. That’s a veteran performer right there.
It’s not the first time a country artist has had to deal with fans crossing the line lately. Just a few days ago, Morgan Wallen was nearly pulled off balance when a fan grabbed his arm mid-performance. Another night, fans chucked items onstage hoping for autographs, creating a safety risk for everyone.
🤠 Country Artists Are Tough, But Come On…
Getting hit with flying merch isn’t exactly in the job description. Whether it’s a hat, a boot, or a stress ball, it’s time we remind folks: enjoy the show, don’t hijack it. Artists like Luke and Morgan give their all on stage. The least we can do is let them do their thing—without ducking for cover.
🎙 Zo Says…
“Next time you’re at a concert and think about throwing something onstage—maybe just throw a cheer instead. Trust me, that’ll go over a lot better.”
