'American Idol' winner Scott McCreery falls over backward on stage during concert
On Wednesday, the 31-year-old, who won "American Idol" during the show's 10th season in 2011, shared a video in which he takes a tumble while performing at a stop on Kane Brown's The High Road Tour.
"Who put that there?" the "Damn Strait" singer joked in the caption of his Instagram post.
In the clip, McCreery took a few steps backward at the end of a song before he tripped over a speaker and landed on his backside.
As the audience gasped, he quickly rolled over and picked himself up before pumping his fist in the air.
"The Stage: 1 Me: 0," McCreery wrote on the video, adding a laughing emoji.
The video then cut to McCreery as he walked across the stage and asked the crowd, "Who put that there?"
As the clip continued, the North Carolina native walked up the stairs backstage followed by two of his band members.
"The Stage: 1 Me: 0."
"I haven't done that in a minute," McCreery said with a smile. "Right on my wrist, like …"
"Well, if you weren't hurting before, you are now," one of his band members said.
The video cut to reactions from some of McCreery's band and crew members, and they were asked by a man off-camera about the "highlight of tonight."
"Scotty falling," one said.
"Probably him falling," another added with a laugh. "Yeah, for sure."
"I'm the last one who had to go to the hospital from falling down, so when I saw Scotty do it, I was a little concerned," one man said as he sorted through equipment.
"Glad he didn't hurt himself. But it was just a little enjoyable," he admitted as the video concluded.
After winning "American Idol," McCreery released his debut studio album "Clear As Day," which was certified platinum.
In 2011, McCreery won the new artist awards at the American Country Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards.
The singer followed up "Clear As Day" with 2012's "Christmas with Scotty McCreery," 2013's "See You Tonight," 2018's "Seasons Change" and 2021's "Same Truck."
Last year, McCreery hit the road on tour in support of his 2024 album, "Rise and Fall."

Homeowners Shocked by Discovery in 125-Year-Old House: 'Time Capsule'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A couple renovating a 125-year-old Victorian home in Pennsylvania have uncovered a treasure trove of historical artifacts—culminating in the discovery of what they describe as a "literal time capsule," sealed inside the home's architecture nearly a century ago. Nikk Alcaraz, 30, recently posted a video on his TikTok account @nikkalcaraz documenting the early stages of the home's renovation. Alcaraz is a content creator, author and artist. He is the author of the cookbook Peculiar Baking and creator of Practical Peculiarities, a social-media page devoted to peculiar food, DIY and lifestyle content, he told Newsweek. "I bought a cheap Victorian house … and these are the cool things we found," Alcaraz says in the clip. It showcases old photographs, skeleton keys, a meat cleaver, and what appears to be an original porch post. A caption shared with the video reads: "It's almost been a whole year since I bought my cheap old Turn of the Century Victorian House. I gotta say, it's definitely not cheap anymore! …" The clip has had over 2.2 million views since it was shared on July 18. @nikkalcaraz It's almost been a whole year since I bought my cheap old Turn of the Century Victorian House. I gotta say, it's definitely not cheap anymore! 😂 Though I pictured we'd get a lot more done in a year, we've quickly learned that this is gonna take a lot of time. For instance, we've been working on one bathroom for 7 months! 😱 yes! Bathing in an old enamel basin has become my norm. And though it's not ideal, there is something special about slowing down and taking my time to clean myself. 🤣 Same goes for the house. The more time and care I take, the better the outcome will be. Can't wait to share the next loads of videos with you. For now, here's a recap of all the cool stuff we've been finding along the way. #cheapoldhouse #victorianhouse #turnofthecentury #historicalhomes #nikkalcaraz #hiddentreasures ♬ original sound - Practical Peculiarities Built in 1900, the home is featured prominently on Alcaraz's social media, including on his Instagram account @practicalpeculiarities, where he shares about its eerie charm. The median spending on home renovations in the United States was reported to have surged by 60 percent in recent years, rising from $15,000 to $24,000 between 2020 and 2023; this is according to a 2024 survey by Houzz, a home design website. Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Alcaraz lived in Los Angeles for all of his 20s before moving to Pennsylvania. Alcaraz said that he and his partner bought the Victorian home after submitting a low offer. "We only saw the listing photos and [had] a low-quality walk through of the property before purchasing," he said. The estate sale home had been long vacated, and the owners were eager to sell. "We put in a low offer just for 'funsies,' and it got accepted. That's when we got serious and decided to move from Los Angeles to southwestern Pennsylvania." Having never visited the state before, Alcaraz and his partner were drawn to the idea of a quieter, more-meaningful life outside of Los Angeles. "We felt as if there was so much more to life than working hard every month only to flush out our accounts," he said. "I've always dreamed of owning an old Victorian house … it was almost like a gravitational pull." That pull led them to a 1900-built Victorian home filled with secrets, including one major surprise hidden inside the newel post of the home's staircase. Calling it "one of the coolest" discoveries from the home, Alcaraz told Newsweek about it for the first time, noting that he has not previously publicly shared about the "time capsule" they found on social media. "When we were taking down the drop ceiling in the downstairs hallway, we discovered a small piece of paper sticking out from beneath the upstairs newel post," Alcaraz said. "To our surprise, it was an old Ivory soap wrapper. We continued to look up through the post from below and discovered it was stuffed with things." Inside, the pair found brittle papers, candy wrappers, children's drawings, a friendship bracelet, and a torn storybook page. "It was a literal time capsule. One of the papers was dated 1925, so I knew it was put there by the three kids that used to live here. Through my research, [I learned that] their names were Lucy, Maggie and Eleanor Edel," Alcaraz said. In addition to the capsule, Alcaraz and his partner have uncovered wedding photos, a 1950s Valentine's Day card, newspapers from the 1940s and 50s, a photo of Maggie hidden behind the fireplace, antique garden tools, seven layers of wallpaper from different decades, and an original mason jar from the 1800s. The pair have also found many functioning skeleton keys, milk bottles and caps from 1902 to 1940, and a large meat cleaver hanging in the basement ceiling rafters. "We plan on incorporating all the finds into the decor of the home to honor all the families that once resided here," Alcaraz said. The renovation is extensive. "Every room needs to be renovated, some more than others," Alcaraz said. While certain rooms just need wallpaper and plaster repairs, the home still has knob and tube wiring and old gas light lines that must be brought up to code. Plumbing-heavy rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom have been the most challenging. "We already completed the biggest, which was rebuilding the entire second floor," Alcaraz said. "The floor was slowly falling in one corner. This was the most-stressful project because we had never done anything like this before." He added that the couple are learning through YouTube videos, books, and advice from preservationists. "Most contractors in the area don't specialize in old houses, so I don't trust their fixes," he said. Despite the challenges, Alcaraz has a clear vision. "I envision this home to be the right mix of peculiar and historical; almost as if a whimsical witch lives in an old manor," he said. "Think like the houses in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or Practical Magic with my unique, peculiar twist. "Every day, we peel back more layers and discover the original beauty of the house," Alcaraz added. "It feels as if the house is breathing in relief and gives back to us more gifts. I do believe it has its own soul, and sometimes, I whisper to the walls, 'Thank you! You're beautiful,' or 'You're in good hands.'"

TikTok Announces Finale of ‘Music on Stage' Competition
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. TikTok has announced a new 'Music on Stage' performance event, which will serve as the finale to its musician discovery competition, which has been taking place in the app over the past few weeks. Back in July, TikTok announced the launch of its Music on Stage competition, inviting musicians of all types to enter their tracks by posting a video of them performing their music, and using the hashtag #MusicOnStage. For clarity, TikTok also launched its 'Next Up: Live Music' singing competition in the U.S. at around the same time, which is an American Idol-style singing competition conducted via TikTok Live streams. The two events are similar, but separate, with Music on Stage instead focused on recording artists more broadly, as opposed to only singers. As per TikTok: 'Music On Stage is TikTok LIVE's first official global competition for music creators, giving artists from 23 regions the chance to perform live, connect with new fans, and take their careers to the next level. The competition is designed to help creators who meet TikTok LIVE's music quality standards to grow their audiences, earn rewards through LIVE, and access career-changing opportunities, in collaboration with TikTok's music distribution platform, SoundOn.' Music on Stage is now heading into the finals, and with that, TikTok has announced a live event to showcase this year's winners. TikTok says that the regional finals for Music on Stage will be held between August 29th to 31st, with the winners of then set to advance to the Global Finals LIVE hosted from Seoul (on September 19th for APAC), and London (September 27th for EMEA & AMS). And there are some valuable rewards on offer for the winning entrants: 'Global winners will receive song production, publishing, and promotional support from SoundOn, plus the opportunity to perform at TikTok LIVE Fest in 2026. Last year's TikTok LIVE Fest was headlined by pop powerhouse Zara Larsson and hosted by global superstar Jason Derulo, bringing together top creators, emerging artists, and music fans from every corner of the world.' That could be a major exposure opportunity for aspiring musicians, and with TikTok also playing a key role in modern music discovery, even making the finalists list could be a big boost to those selected. TikTok has been doubling down on its role as a music connector, by adding in new tools to strengthen its ties to the music industry, and make it a bigger consideration for all bands. Because popular musicians bring in big audiences, and TikTok's been able to leverage this to further expand its influence. Music on Stage is more focused on regions outside the U.S., with Americans getting 'Next Up: Live Music,' which gives TikTok a broader scope of music engagement across regions. And that seems like a smart move, enabling more local artists to build their audiences in the app, enhancing their connection to the platform. And maybe, the next big star will emerge from TikTok's music competitions. You can learn more about TikTok's 'Music on Stage' competition here.

Seth Meyers' Beloved Dog Frisbee Dies – Sarah Paulson & More Pay Tribute
Seth Meyers is mourning the loss of one of his most famous — and most adorable — family members. The late-night host announced via Instagram on Tuesday, August 19, that his dog, Frisbee, had died at the age of 14. 'RIP to Frisbee, our OG IG who I was happy to go grey with,' he captioned photos of himself and his pet from over the years. 'She was at her best curled in your lap and patient when we dressed her up like a pilgrim. Thanks for 14 amazing years, girl.' The first slide of Meyers' Instagram carousel featured a sweet selfie of Frisbee licking his face, followed by a photo of Frisbee as a puppy and more pics of his beloved pet. Several celebrities and fans offered their condolences in the post's comments. 'Noooo! Frisbeeee! sorry for your loss. ,' wrote Rachel Dratch, while Retta commented, 'Awwww Frisbeeeeeee. .' Sarah Paulson posted, 'Oh Seth!!! Darlingest of the darling dogs. Sending you all my love.' Alyssa Milano called losing a pet the 'worst pain ever,' adding, 'I'm sorry for your loss.' Other users were quick to point out Frisbee's long-standing feud with Andy Samberg, who infamously expressed his dislike of Meyers' dog over the years. 'May her ghost haunt Andy Samberg forever ,' one user quipped, while more pointed out that news of Frisbee's death came one day after Samberg's birthday. 'So glad Frisbee stole Andy's birthday shine. ,' a different user joked. Meyers brought up his dog in conversation on Late Night with Seth Meyers many times over the years, particularly any time Samberg was a guest on the show. Meyers brought his dog on camera during a July 2020 virtual interview with Samberg on the show, during which Frisbee hid her face in his shoulder. 'Look how much she hates you. She hates you so much,' Meyers quipped. Samberg went on to say, 'Frisbee, I just want to say, it's all in good fun. You're a good dog,' all while holding a sticky note which read, 'Frisbee sucks.' Samberg roasted Frisbee again during a March 2023 episode of Late Night. 'Seth's nightmare-inducing hell spawn Frisbee continues to maintain its identity as a dog when it's clearly some sort of rat-foreskin hybrid,' he joked of the Italian Greyhound. Last month, Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers tried to prank Samberg into believing Frisbee had died on an episode of her Good Hang podcast. 'I invite you to say, 'I asked Seth for a question, but he couldn't talk today 'cause his dog just died,' and just see if he has any reaction,' Meyers told Poehler ahead of her interview with Samberg. NBC During their conversation, Poehler pretended to tell Samberg that 'Frisbee died.' The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star, however, didn't buy it. 'Don't even play 'cause I'll be so happy,' Samberg replied, prompting laughter from himself and Poehler. 'I will never back off that. That dog sucks, dude.' Samberg has not publicly addressed Frisbee's death. Solve the daily Crossword
