Luke Bryan hit in face by flying object at State Fair performance
This was not his kind of night.
Luke Bryan was struck in the face while performing at the North Dakota State Fair on Saturday.
As seen in a fan TikTok video, the country star, 49, was singing the chorus of his hit song “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” when an object flew on the stage and struck him.
Bryan appeared to cover his face with his arm as the small ball hit him. He then looked to the ground to see what the object was before staring intently into the audience. Bryan finished his track and even flashed a smile at the end of the clip.
“Poor @Luke Bryan got hit in the face during his encore 😅 carried on like a champ though,” the concertgoer captioned the footage.
Fans quickly flocked to the comments section to share their disgust at what transpired.
“This is why we probably don’t get better concerts at the fair. I f–king hate people. There is no excuse for this,” one person stated, while a second questioned, “Who throws something at someone they paid to see?”
“Shame on whoever did this,” another social media user quipped.
One fan complimented the artist on keeping his composure, writing, “Luke Bryan got hit but kept on rockin much respect.”
The Post reached out to a rep for Bryan.
The “American Idol” judge has been privy to concert mishaps before.
Bryan had a simple explanation for the embarrassing accidents, like falling onstage, when he addressed them on his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance in 2024.
“I’m 6’2″. I’m up there trying to do Michael Jackson moves in too big of a frame, and when you add water to a stage and slick cowboy boots, you go down hard,” he detailed. “It’s not alcohol, fans. People are assuming — you can’t just drink a bottle of vodka and go do a two-hour show.”
Bryan is just the latest celeb to get attacked while onstage.
In 2023, Cardi B threw a microphone and allegedly hit an audience member after the person pelted her with a drink while she was performing.
Last week, the alleged victim sued the Grammy winner, 32, for assault and battery.
Just last year, Billie Eilish, 23, was hit in the face after someone threw what appeared to be a friendship bracelet or necklace at her during her show in Arizona.
As seen on X, the singer carried on but looked visibly annoyed as she tossed the bracelet offstage.
Before the incident, Eilish told The Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve been getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years, I don’t know why this is like new. People just get excited and it can be dangerous.”
Steve Lacy, meanwhile, smashed a fan’s disposable camera after he was hit with it during his concert in 2022.
The “Bad Habits” hitmaker, 27, stood by his reaction.
“People were pissed at me for it, but now they’re like, ‘He was f–kin’ right y’all shoulda listened to Steve!’” Lacy told Variety in 2023.
“I didn’t apologize for that s–t because I’m not wrong!”
