Country music star Tim McGraw fell onstage during a concert in Cincinnati on Thursday evening, later joking about the incident on social media. The tumble occurred midway through his performance of "I Like It, I Love It" when his cowboy boot reportedly caught on the stage flooring.
McGraw, 59, fell backward but quickly stood up and continued singing, appearing unfazed. He later shared a video of the fall on Instagram, addressing the Cincinnati audience with a quip: "Cincinnati, you started our weekend off on the right foot even if I couldn’t stay on mine." He thanked the fans for coming out and singing along.
The incident followed a delayed start to the concert at Riverbend Music Center. McGraw took the stage approximately 40 minutes after the scheduled start time, around 9:40 p.m. He apologized to the crowd for the delay, citing travel and weather issues.
This is not the first time McGraw has experienced a stage mishap. In March 2018, he collapsed from dehydration during a performance at the Country to Country festival in Dublin, Ireland. At the time, he humorously responded by posting a photo of himself in scuba gear with the caption, "Hydrating."
