Following the growing number of privacy violations occurring at concerts, festivals and other entertainment gatherings, Kelsea Ballerini is the latest music star to fall victim to this ignorant behavior by fans days behind Bebe Rexha and Ava Max.
An unflattering video capturing the moment the country music star was punched in the face on stage has been shared on various online platforms. As the unfortunate event quickly hit social media, die-hard fans covered the event live with empathy and understanding.
Fans React To Kelsea Ballerini’s ‘Bracelet’ On Stage Incident
The Country pop star is the support act and opener for Kenny Chesney’s “I Go Back Tour.” On Wednesday, June 28, a random band member threw an object at him while performing “If You Go Down” at Outlaw Field at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise.

Although it is not specific what attracted the eye area, many cyber experts believe it is a bracelet. In the clip, after the 29-year-old tour act returned to the stage when he finished being checked, he said:
“Can we talk about what happened? All I care about is keeping everyone safe. If you feel unsafe, please tell someone around you. If someone is too pushy or you just have that feeling, just always flag it. Don’t throw things away. You know?”
The unfortunate incident spurred a reaction from the official fan page of the “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” artist. They issued a statement that read, “Friends. I know we all mean well. We all want to show Kelsea love the best way we know how and shower her with all the gifts. But throwing something on a stage where the artist is already very vulnerable is NOT the move.”
The fan site further urges gig-goers to find better alternatives to handing over their belongings without compromising their safety. They wrote: “If you can’t leave it to him, there are plenty of other options. God, give us! We will make sure it reaches him. But PLEASE don’t put him in danger like this.” The message ends by writing:
“Again, I know you all mean well, but this is a safety issue. We love you all. We do. But please stop.”
Below the post, other like-minded loyalists responded. “This is why we can’t have nice things anymore…,” wrote one user while another commented, “This is not ok[,]people need to stop throwing things at artists; Kelsea might be hurt. If you want to give a gift[,] do after or at the meet and greet.
A third user stated, “People don’t seem to know how to act at concerts anymore,. I hope he is ok [sad emoji].” Others wrote, “with; these people need to be fined/arrested/something. [This] unacceptable.
Bebe Rexha And Ava Max Have Their Experience Before Ballerini
Men. I know we all mean well. We all want to show Kelsea some love the best way we know how, and give her all the gifts. But throwing things on a stage where the artist is already very vulnerable is NOT the move. If you can’t leave it to him, there are plenty of other options. Sir,… pic.twitter.com/oIgy2JDn3V

Ballerini’s hiccups came shortly after Rexha had to be stitched up because fans threw their cell phones at her, and Ava Max was slapped on stage by a fan mid-performance.
Near the end of her NYC show, Rexha was unexpectedly hit in the face, on the cheek, just below her left eye, with a phone by one of the many concertgoers in the crowd. As soon as it happened, the Grammy-nominated vocalist supported the band and took a knee, bringing the entire performance to a halt.
To show support, people started chanting his name, and eventually, fans called for strict action against the perpetrators. “If I were him, I would sue. Take the phone to the police station, and say you were hit with it. Tell them to unlock it, find the person it belongs to and charge them for assault,” one user wrote.
Another just wished her recovery, writing: “Well, that’s sad. He had been through so much; pray for him..”
In another situation, as Max captivated the audience, an unknown man suddenly walked on stage to slap him on the cheek before being quickly escorted off stage by security.
Although the “Kings & Queens” singer briefly acknowledged the impact before resuming her dance routine, she took to Twitter later to elaborate on the shocking encounter.
The resilient artist stated: “He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye. He won’t be coming to the show again ??thanks to the fans for a great show tonight in LA!!❤️.”
Immediately afterwards, a loyal supporter confirmed Max’s status as a “true pop star” and expressed regret that the night ended on a sour note. Meanwhile, another added, “You deserve better❤️ We love you.”
