<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The crowd gasped when the ball hit his face, and he briefly paused before continuing with the song.</p>

<p>"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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>"We see it. Every other entertainer out there is getting stuff — you get stuff thrown at ya," Bryan said.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>He maintained that doing that would've ruined the vibe of the show, so he decided against it.</p>
<p>Outside of his live performances, Bryan wrapped season 23 of American Idol in May, which concluded with Jamal Roberts emerging as the winner.</p>
<p>Bryan has released eight studio albums across his multi-year career, his most recent being 2024's Mind of a Country Boy.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>"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.'"</p>
<p>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?'"</p>
