. “hi. i’m fine. someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me,” she wrote over an image of herself performing at sunset. “we all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why i walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe.”
Ballerini added, “that’s all i ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all. i love you and appreciate the concern, let’s make the last two shows of the heartfirst tour the best yet.” The statement echos the sentiments of what she told the crowd upon returning to the stage after being hit. “Can we talk about what just happened? All I care about is keeping everyone safe, so if you ever don’t feel safe, please let someone around you know. There’s security everywhere tonight,” she said at the time. “Don’t throw things, you know! I just always want shows of mine — every show, for every artist — but I’m in control of this one. I just want it to be a safe place for everyone.
Ballerini is the latest artist recently to have been hit by an object thrown by a concertgoer. Bebe Rexha was recentlywith a phone during her concert on June 18, which resulted in a bruised eye and hospital visit. A 27-year-old man was arrested and charged with assault and harassment. In April, while performing a concert in Kansas, Kane Brown was struck in a sensitive area by a cowboy boot a concertgoer threw on stage, causing him to fall. Ever the trooper, Brown actually signed the boot and sent it back to the concertgoer.
