Scott McCreery Falls Off Stage Opening For Brad Paisley [Video]

Scott McCreery’s fall was something he probably wishes he could forget, but the country star is at least having a sense of humor about his embarrassing incident caught on tape. The American Idol winner was opening for Brad Paisley in Bethell, New York when he took a wrong step near the edge of the stage, falling right off to the ground below.

McCreery was belting out his version of Travis Tritt’s “T.R.O.U.B.L.E.” when the misstep occurred, and, though his pride may have been a bit wounded, the American Idol star was unhurt in the fall, 100.3 KILT reported. He got back up a moment later and continued singing.

In 2011, McCreery used an incredible run to win American Idol. Then 17, McCreery was one of the show’s youngest champions but has worked hard to avoid the slump that many of its champions face, USA Today reported. Since winning the show, the baritone singer has worked to build up a base of fans and establish himself on the country music scene.

His album Clear as Day sold more than one million copies in the first month while his first two singles, “I Love You This Big” and “The Trouble With Girls,” were each downloaded more than 500,000 times.

In December, he won new artist of the year honor at the American Country Awards and then joined Brad Paisley’s Virtual Reality tour.

Scott McCreery’s fall brought out a sense of humor from the country singer. He took to Twitter to “blame” Brad Paisley for the incident.

Brad Paisley apparently returned the favor. The day after the Scott McCreery fall, Paisley apparently took some extra measures to ensure that the stage was safe and sound.

There was a video of the Scott McCreery fall, which the singer even commented on his Twitter account, saying, “If anyone wants a good laugh.”

    I'm glad Scotty didn't get hurt and was able to recover and keep on going in the show. His sense of humor about the incident is just another reason the McCreerians love and support this awesome true country singer.

    Dude has the WORST stage presence of ANY IDOL contestant – no surprise there…

    Not a fan of his style of music but he seems like a cool guy.

    One wrong step for Scotty…. One giant step for the naysayers. Scotty is the best!

    Kudos to Scotty for not only getting right back up on stage and continuing on but also for poking fun at himself the next day by releasing a tape of his fall himself. I'm definitely proud to be a fan.

    Looked intentional to me, but I guess if it gets people talking about you when it seems no one is, go for it…
    Doing Travis Tritt covers? And terribly by the sound of it…another Idol that should never have been, but this is what you get when 13 year old girls are the demographic…

    Did it knock the perpetually annoying smirk off his face? Let's hope so.

    Not Funny–Falling can result in lost of life, mobility, freedom, and career. I would sue to stop this insane behavior, big star or not. He is just lucky that so far only egos have been bruised. Maybe these so-called pranks is a cry for help for a more deep dark rooted problem.

    Hey, Nick………….sounds like a poor loser to me. Not many American Idols have a platinum record in 3 months. but what the heck, Scotty is loved by us who care……..and don't judge a song by a cell phone tape……you sound like a 'non' country music man……….tough. (Just a Grandma, who appreciates a young man with character.)

    Jamie……..it was not a prank………that was Scotty making a joke. He actually fell, and Brad had nothing to do with it. Please, retrack you thinking.

    Hey miss assumptions, grab this with both hands…I am so much closer than you think…and work in the industry. So I'll tell you what, you worry about the millions of Mexicans sneaking over and under the fence and leave the bad music critique's to me.

    Nick Marchese It's a good thing everyone knows that critics are the people who write about what they have no clue about. I work with critics daily.
