Luke Bryan<\/a>\u00a0seemed pretty shocked to be hit in the face by a ball of some sort while he was performing.<\/p>\n While Bryan was\u00a0onstage in North Dakota on\u00a0July\u00a026, a round object\u00a0could be seen flying through the air, striking the country music superstar in the face (via\u00a0KFYR-TV<\/a>).<\/p>\n The “Country Girl” singer was in the middle of said song when the ball nailed him.<\/p>\n While shaken, Bryan stayed professional. In the clip above, he seems to take a moment to gather himself, only missing a line or two before he hops right back into superstar mode.<\/p>\n While clearly perturbed, Bryan did not address the incident while onstage.<\/p>\n A few commenters on the Facebook post were there and weighed in on the situation.<\/p>\n “It’s because they sell booze there,” one person says.<\/p>\n Another writes: “That’s not the only thing people were throwing they also tossed water bottles off the rides to hit people with them.”<\/p>\n So, it was an extra rowdy crowd at the\u00a0North Dakota State Fair over the weekend weekend.<\/p>\n Bryan is just getting back to playing\u00a0live concerts after having to cancel some due to a tough battle with COVID-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n The “Kick\u00a0the Dust Up” singer had a\u00a0bout with COVID\u00a0that started impacting his concerts in mid-June, when he struggled through a tour stop in Arkansas.<\/p>\n In the middle of the show, he told everyone in the crowd that he was issuing them a full refund since he was not on top of his game.<\/p>\n He postponed two more shows after that.<\/p>\n Bryan\u00a0then dropped\u00a0out of three festival dates in late June, and Eric Church<\/a> stepped\u00a0in to fill in for him at the last minute.<\/p>\n Bryan started his\u00a0run as an American Idol<\/em> judge in 2018, the show’s first season on ABC. He has since returned each year to the same judging\u00a0seat.<\/p>\n That is still yet to be determined.<\/p>\n Bryan has told Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in the past that the judges usually hold out until the last minute to sign their deals and\u00a0keep the negotiations close to their chest during that time.<\/p>\n Luke Bryan’s massive catalog of songs perfectly walk the line between heartfelt and fun.
