Show goes on as famous country singer has onstage tumble
One misstep sent famous country music singer Kelsea Ballerini tumbling.
Ballerini was wrapping up her North American tour on April 13 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto when she fell off a moving stage platform while performing a cover of Garth Brooks' "Friends of Low Places" in tribute to her touring staff, according to a video posted on Instagram from Entertainment Tonight.

Despite the unexpected topple, Ballerini continued her performance without pause as the crowd cheered and crew members danced while playing guitar and singing alongside her.
The Toronto concert was part of Ballerini's 30-city tour in support of her latest album, "Patterns," which was released in October 2024 and debuted at number one on Billboard's Country Album chart in November, according to a press release from Ballerini's website .
A deluxe version of the record was released in March, which included five new songs, according to Taste of Country.
The tour kicked off in January in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and from there, Ballerini performed in several cities, including Chicago, Nashville and Philadelphia. On Feb. 13, the country singer appeared in Boston and sang at TD Garden.
