Country music star Kelsea Ballerini responded Thursday after she was hit in the face by a bracelet during a performance in Idaho this week.
The singer posted an Instagram story assuring fans that she is alright and recovering.
“Hi. I’m fine,” wrote the “If You Go Down” singer. ” Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye and it more or so just scared me than hurt me.”
“We all may have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown,” continued Ballerini. ” And that’s why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd felt safe to continue.”
“That’s all I ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all. I love you and appreciate all the concern,” said Ballerini, 29, before adding that she plans to make the last two shows of her tour the “best yet.”
The Post reached out to the singer for comment.
Ballerini’s heartfelt statement comes a day after she was struck in the face mid-song by an unidentified object, prompting her to halt her show.
The shocking moment went viral mere minutes after Ballerini departed the stage following a quick chat with her violinist who rushed over to check on the singer.
“Can we just talk about what happened,” Ballerini asked the crowd when she returned to the stage. “All I care about is keeping everyone safe. If you ever don’t feel safe, please let someone around you know.”
“If anyone’s pushing too much or you just have that gut feeling, just always flag it. Don’t throw things. You know?”
Ballerini’s official fan account responded to the incident saying that while they all love the “Mountain With a View” singer there are other ways to show appreciation.
“Guys. 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,” tweeted the account. “But throwing things on stage where artists are already so vulnerable is NOT the move. If you can’t hand it to her, there are so many other options.”
“Lord, give it to us! We will make sure it gets to her. But PLEASE don’t put her in danger like this. Again, I know you all mean well, but this is becoming a safety issue,” concluded the tweet. “We love you guys. We do. But please make it stop.”
It’s unclear if the fan who threw the item was kicked out of the venue.
Ballerini is the latest in a string of several artists who have been attacked onstage.
Singer Bebe Rexha, 33, was forced to cancel the remainder of her show in New York and required three stitches after a crazed fan hurled a cell phone and hit the “I’m Good” singer right in the eye.
The man, identified as 27-year-old Nicolas Malvagna, was later detained by police and charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and harassment.
According to police, Malvagna claimed that he thought throwing the phone at the pop star would be “funny.”
Days later, Ava Max, 29, sustained an eye injury while performing in Los Angeles after a fan managed to get on stage and slap the “Not Your Barbie Girl” singer.
Pop icon Pink also had a few surprises at her own concert while in London.
One die-hard fan gave the incredibly confused singer a bag of their mother’s ashes while another gouda fan decided to gift the singer a wheel of brie cheese.
