American Idol season 10 winner, Scotty McCreery is making headlines, but not for his singing this time.
The country star had a bit of an unexpected mishap while performing on March 25 during the opening of Kane Brown’s High Road Tour. While the 31-year-old singer was entertaining the crowd, he took a literal tumble, much to the amusement of his crew and fans.

He landed awkwardly on his left wrist but quickly bounced back to his feet. Scotty McCreery joked about the incident, saying, “Who put that there?” with the caption, “The Stage: 1, Me: 0.”
Backstage, Scotty McCreery’s crew had a laugh about the mishap. When asked about the highlight of the night, one crew member said, “Scotty falling.” Another joked, “Glad he didn’t hurt himself, but it was just a little enjoyable.”
The fall comes just days after Scotty McCreery spoke about his upcoming European tour. Scotty McCreery told media on March 19 that he was looking forward to the U.K. shows, saying, “My parents, my in-laws, my wife, my kid… we’ll make a little family vacation out of the European tour.”
