While singing his hit song “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” someone in the crowd threw a ball toward the stage, striking Bryan in the face mid song. Bryan was visibly thrown off by the incident, taking a minute as the crowd continued to sing the song for him.

Country star Luke Bryan is speaking out after a fan hit him with a ball during a recent concert. As seen in a TikTok video posted on July 27, Bryan, 49, was mid-chorus of his 2011 hit “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” at the North Dakota State Fair when a ball came flying toward the stage — and nailed him in the face.
