During her performance at the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, famed country musician Carrie Underwood fell on stage amid a downpour on the night of June 9. The incident occurred as she was exiting the stage, drawing significant attention from the audience.
Despite the adverse weather, Underwood, 41, delivered an excellent performance, ending with the popular song “Before He Cheats”. As the rain increased, she slipped on the wet stairs while heading backstage, prompting audible reactions from the crowd, with attendees shouting “She fell!”
Embodying professionalism, Underwood addressed the occurrence the next day on her social media platforms. She reflected on the event with a blend of humor and grace, stating, “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 an unexpected fall. In 2017, she fell outside her Nashville, Tennessee home, resulting in a broken wrist and over 40 stitches to her face. She openly discussed the incident in 2018, acknowledging the significant physical toll it took on her. However, such events have not dissuaded her from performing live, a testament to her resilience and commitment to her audience.
The Carolina Country Music Fest, where the event took place, attracted over 35,000 attendees this year. Underwood’s performance, featuring favorites like “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Good Girl”, along with “Before He Cheats”, was a key attraction.
Fans reacted largely in support of Underwood, applauding her for continuing the show despite the challenging circumstances. One concertgoer was quoted saying, “That’s commitment and dedication to the fans that put her there. No one else like her,” reflecting the admiration many attendees had for her determination.
