“I just wanted to hop on here and first of all and say thank you for all the advice on ankle stuff,” he says in the video shared to his Instagram Stories. “And for all your prayers. Much appreciated.”

“I’ve sprained my ankle a million times like playing sports and stuff but I’ve never felt it like that the other night,” he continues. “Just missed a step, man.”

Rhett notes that he received medical attention following the accident, and thankfully, his injury was not worse.

“Just got a X-Ray and thank the Lord nothing is broken,” he says. “I’ve heard a lot of people say sometimes you’d rather it be broken than having a bad sprain, so I think it’s just a pretty gnarly sprain.”

How Did Thomas Rhett Fall?

Rhett was a surprise guest at Forrest Frank’s show in Nashville, Tenn. He and the Christian artist recorded a song this year called “Nothing Else” and were planning on singing it together that night.

Frank introduced Rhett, who was hiding in the stands. All the country hitmaker had to do was make it down the stairs and up to the stage, but he missed one of the steps and fell down. He quickly recovered, but you could tell from fan videos that he was favoring his left ankle.

Like a true professional, he finished his guest appearance as if nothing was wrong. Later, however, he would be wheeled out of the venue in a wheelchair.
