Luke Bryan gets hit in the face by object thrown on stage during concert
Bryan, 49, was in the middle of an encore performance of his song "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" at the North Dakota State Fair, when someone in the crowd hurled an object at the stage and smacked Bryan directly in the face.
The moment was caught on camera by fans, with Bryan seen slightly recoiling after the hit. He flashed a quick look of surprise, but instead of stopping the show, the "American Idol" judge continued to perform as if nothing had happened.
"Poor Luke Bryan got hit in the face during his encore," the caption on the fan video read on TikTok. "Carried on like a champ though."
It's still unclear what exactly hit the "One Margarita" singer, with some fans speculating it was a bracelet or phone accessory, but the incident immediately lit up social media.
While Bryan hasn't addressed the moment publicly, his fans came to his defense and called out the growing trend of fans throwing objects at artists mid-performance.
"Whoever that was ruined the whole concert [because] he stopped so early," one disappointed fan wrote.
Another comment read, "… you know he's a good guy when he takes that amount of disrespect and shrugs it off."

"Shame on whoever did this," another fan wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Bryan's representatives for comment.
Bryan now joins a long list of musicians — including Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha and Kelsea Ballerini — who've been hit during live shows, sparking calls for tighter concert security and more respect from the crowd.

In 2023, Styles got directly hit in the eye while he was onstage in Vienna performing his Love on Tour concert.
Rexha was first hit in the face with a cellphone, resulting in the arrest of a man and the singer getting stitches in New York City.
Ballerini was the victim of a similar incident later that year. The country star sang her song, "If You Go Down," when she was hit in the eye by a bracelet.
Turning her head and eventually her entire body away from the audience, Ballerini was quickly attended to by one of her band members. After several moments, Ballerini walked off-stage.

Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni 'flirting' video may be smoking gun in legal showdown: expert
Video of Blake Lively "flirting" and "joking" with Justin Baldoni on the set of "It Ends With Us" could take center stage at the actress's deposition Thursday. Baldoni's team will likely work to find "weaknesses" in Lively's accusations, multiple legal experts told Fox News Digital. Judge Lewis Liman ruled Lively's deposition could take place at an undisclosed location of her choosing. "Baldoni's team wants to get admissions from her about the weaknesses in her case and information to support Baldoni's defenses," employment and defamation law attorney Camron Dowlatshahi explained. "For example, they will likely do a deep dive into the videos of her joking and flirting with Baldoni and get her to admit that she was doing so, instead of purportedly feeling uncomfortable, as her representation has claimed." Anything Lively says during her deposition "can and will be used against her," Dowlatshahi emphasized. "Each of their interactions will be analyzed and questioned, and any misstatement by Lively can and will be used against her. I expect there to be multiple deposition sessions as well and for the Baldoni team to move for additional sessions. So, this will likely be the first of potentially a few depositions." WATCH: JUSTIN BALDONI RELEASED UNEDITED 'IT ENDS WITH US' FOOTAGE FEATURING BLAKE LIVELY In December, Lively detailed allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, intentional affliction of emotional distress, negligence and more against Baldoni and film producer Jamey Heath in a complaint first filed with the California Civil Rights department and later in federal court. Baldoni, in his own lawsuit filed in January, insisted Lively had "falsely" accused him in an attempt to repair her reputation after the fallout from the movie's press tour after the actress took control of the film. Baldoni's legal team claimed Lively had no evidence of a deliberate smear campaign and had instead worked to repair her reputation by accusing the actor and others of sexual harassment. Judge Liman dismissed Baldoni's lawsuit against Lively in June. Lively's deposition was originally scheduled for July 17, but the day before it was set to take place, it was rescheduled for July 31. Texas-based publicist Jed Wallace, who had been named in Lively's original lawsuit, was dismissed from the case by the judge "without prejudice" earlier this month, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Lively's legal team had claimed Wallace weaponized "a digital army around the country, including in New York and Los Angeles, to create, seed, manipulate, and advance disparaging content that appeared to be authentic on social media platforms and internet chat forums." Lively's legal team has also dropped subpoenas against three Youtubers: Kassidy O'Connell, McKenzie Folks and Lauren Neidigh, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The deposition in Lively's case against the actor is Baldoni's "one opportunity" to "lock in" the movie star's testimony, according to entertainment lawyer Tre Lovell. "This is Baldoni's one opportunity to ask Ms. Lively questions under oath, to lock in her testimony, get her to admit things that are helpful to his case and challenge testimony that helps her case. It's also an opportunity to get her to authenticate and lay a foundation for documents and information that Baldoni wishes to introduce at trial. Ms. Lively must be honest and tell the truth as her testimony is under oath. "Blake Lively may be able to offer information that is helpful to her case that has not yet been discovered. She also has the opportunity to better explain what happened during the filming that supports her claims for sexual harassment or retaliation. She can offer more specifics about Mr. Baldoni's conduct as well as identify other witnesses who may have information." Baldoni's legal team's focus will be on any "inconsistencies" between Lively's claims during the deposition and her actual lawsuit, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani noted. "Depositions can generally reveal inconsistencies, create impeachment evidence for testimony at trial and uncover facts that support Baldoni's arguments in the lawsuit," Rahmani told Fox News Digital. "In this case specifically, Baldoni's lawyers want admissions from Lively about decision-making authority under their agreement and who has creative control or communications with third parties that may undermine her sexual harassment claims. Lively's text messages and prior statements may be used to attack her argument that Baldoni created a sexually charged workplace and hostile work environment." Experts told Fox News Digital Lively likely went through intense preparation by her own lawyers. "They will explain to her the typical objections lodged by the other side, such as privilege, vagueness, ambiguity and speculation and how those objections can cue her responses," Dowlatshahi said. "By the time she is placed under oath, she will have likely gone through hours of mock questioning from her lawyers. But even with all that preparation, the pressure from competent counsel can be difficult for any deponent." Lively's legal team would have prepared a mock deposition to teach the "Gossip Girl" star how to "answer questions narrowly" to avoid "volunteering unnecessary information." "The most important rule in depositions is to answer the question truthfully, but only the question and nothing more," Rahmani told Fox News Digital.

Plane passenger tries to outsmart airline's luggage rule by doing the unthinkable with her suitcase: ‘She's so real for that'
They told her to check the bag — she checked them instead. A fierce flyer is going viral for muscling her suitcase into a carry-on sizer at a European airport — leaving airline staff stunned when the bag actually fit. The now-legendary shove came courtesy of TikTok user Arina (@summermken_official), who posted a video of herself forcefully wedging her luggage into a metal bag checker at the Vueling counter during a recent flight from Paris to London. 'Never give up, at least not on the sake of €200,' she wrote in the caption — and the internet agreed. The clip has racked up more than 10 million views since it was posted on July 22. 'They asked me to place my bag in the checker to confirm it met size requirements,' Arina told Newsweek. 'It seemed that they were just suspicious of the size of my bag since it didn't seem like carry-on luggage.' The Spanish low-cost carrier, like many budget airlines, has earned a reputation for eagle-eyed enforcement of size rules — and for slapping on sky-high baggage fees. Vueling charges up to €88 (about $96) at the airport if your bag doesn't fit their requirements. 'I was 100% sure that it would fit […] plus I measured it before buying and it fit the standards of the company,' she told the outlet. What followed was a now-iconic suitcase showdown: Arina is seen in the clip straining to push her bag into the checker — and then yanking it out with just as much effort. The Vueling employee? Gobsmacked. 'She seemed quite surprised that the suitcase actually fit,' Arina said. 'She said, with genuine shock, that I must be very strong… she clearly didn't expect it to fit at all.' TikTokers applauded her persistence — and side-eyed the airline. Spain's stingy sky carrier is notorious for hawk-eyed bag checks and nickel-and-diming travelers with sky-high luggage fees. Viacheslav Yakobchuk – 'Her face, that's 'I told you' face,' wrote one viewer in the comments section. 'She's so real for that,' another chimed in. 'Bro that's small carry-on too, I hate airlines,' added an additional user. As previously reported by The Post, one Ryanair passenger broke down in tears this week at Sofia Airport after being denied boarding when her bag wouldn't fit the airline's size limits. Despite shoving it into the sizer, she refused to pay extra, pleaded with border police, and ultimately collapsed to her knees sobbing as staff looked on. Overall, when it comes to budget flights, it's bend or break — and these women did both.
