- Luke Bryan has responded to a fan recently throwing a ball that hit him in the face at a concert.

- The country star and *American Idol* judge said the fan went "too far."

- "I probably would have jumped right off in there," he suggested.**

Country superstar and *American Idol* judge Luke Bryan has responded after a fan threw a ball that hit him in the face during a recent concert.

In a TikTok video shared on July 27, the 49-year-old can be seen recoiling after a ball careens toward his face and makes contact as he performed his 2011 song "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" at the North Dakota State Fair on Saturday.

The crowd gasped when the ball hit his face, and he briefly paused before continuing with the song.**

"It's the last song of the night. It was a big ole fun party, and I think one person just took it too far," Bryan told Taste of Country.

He then noted the uptick in stars dealing with objects being flung at them from audience members, which has impacted performances by Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, and more in recent years.

"We see it. Every other entertainer out there is getting stuff — you get stuff thrown at ya," Bryan said.

He continued, "You hope that you can see who did it," while explaining that he thought about jumping down into the crowd after the incident.

"I mean, if I saw him throw it, I could have gone right to him," he said. "I probably would have jumped right off in there."

He maintained that doing that would've ruined the vibe of the show, so he decided against it.

Outside of his live performances, Bryan wrapped season 23 of *American Idol* in May, which concluded with Jamal Roberts emerging as the winner.

Bryan has released eight studio albums across his multi-year career, his most recent being 2024's *Mind of a Country Boy*.

Though he's made a name for himself in the country scene, Bryan revealed earlier this year that he was once shamed by a gas station attendant who mistook him for fellow genre staple Blake Shelton.

"He says, 'I know it, you're Blake, are you Blake?'" Bryan explained on *The Jennifer Hudson Show*. "And I said, 'I'm not Blake, but what makes you think that?' And he goes, 'Well, you're just Blake Shelton's doppelgänger.'"

Bryan continued, "He goes, 'There's no way you're Blake, because Blake wouldn't be here shopping at this gas station.' And I get my stuff, and he looks at me and goes, 'Could you imagine having Blake Shelton's money?'"**
