Acclaimed country music artist, Carrie Underwood, fell during her exit at the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The incident occurred on June 9, as a significant rain shower happened at the end of her performance.
Despite weather complications, the 41-year-old Underwood put on a remarkable performance. As she ended her show with her popular song “Before He Cheats,” the rain increased significantly. As she attempted to exit the stage, she slipped on the wet stairs, an event that was captured on video and drew immediate reactions from the crowd.
Underwood responded to the incident the next day on her social media platforms. She reflected on the previous evening with a combination of humor and composure, saying, “Well, last night sure was fun! And though the ending was quite unexpected, it made for a night we’ll never forget!”
This is not the first time Underwood has experienced a fall. In 2017, a tumble outside her home in Nashville, Tennessee resulted in a broken wrist and over 40 facial stitches. She disclosed the severity of the incident in 2018, highlighting its significant physical impact. Despite these incidents, Underwood’s enthusiasm for live performances remains undeterred, demonstrating her tenacity and devotion to her supporters.
The Carolina Country Music Fest, where the recent fall took place, attracted over 35,000 attendees this year. Underwood’s headlining act, which featured fan favorites such as “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Good Girl,” along with “Before He Cheats,” was a significant attraction.
Reactions from fans were overwhelmingly positive, with many commending Underwood for her dedication and ability to carry on with the show under challenging circumstances. A concert attendee noted, “That’s commitment and dedication to the fans that put her there. No one else like her,” a sentiment reflective of many who admire her resilience.
