Country singer Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the eye by an object thrown from the audience during her concert at Outlaw Field in the Idaho Botanical Garden.
The specific item remains unidentified, but fans believe it could be a bracelet. Like Taylor Swift fans, Ballerini's supporters frequently create and swap friendship bracelets during her performances.
The singer addressed the incident saying:
"Can we just talk about what happened?" she asked the crowd. "All I care about is keeping everyone safe. If you ever don't feel safe, please let someone around you know."
"Don't throw things. You know?", she added.
Social media clips show Ballerini tumbling backward and briefly retreating backstage after the incident. This unfortunate incident adds Ballerini to the growing list of artists who have experienced objects being thrown at them during their performances.
