Tim McGraw had a pretty embarrassing slip up at a concert in Cincinnati on Thursday.
No, it wasn't his lyrics; no, it wasn't a technical issue - a literal slip up. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, he was performing his song "I Like It, I Love It" when the embarrassing accident happened.
What exactly happened, you ask? Well, he was on an onstage platform during the performance of the track. He ended up losing his footing and tumbling on his back.
But, with that country resolve we all know and love, he got himself right back up. With a chuckle, he exclaimed "There's a hole there!" before continuing his song like nothing really happened.
And, as one fan put it, he "posted [about] it before anyone else had a chance to". He took to social media for a little bit of self-deprecation - but mostly to thank his Cincinnati fans.
"Cincinnati, you started our weekend off on the right foot even if I couldn't stay on mine," he joked. Alongside the post was a pretty cinematically beautiful set of pictures showing the concert.
...But he also shared the iconic video itself. He posted a meme with him mid-fall with a voice-over, "Yup, that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation".
He added, "We appreciate you coming out and singing along!"

The Country Star Received Supportive Comments
The comments section of the country star's social media post was full of supportive fans.
One commenter wrote, "Thanks for the great show! You handled that tumble like a pro," with another exclaiming, "Nice to see that we are just human after all!"
Another commenter referenced the legendary Dolly Parton: "Glad you're okay... P.S., Dolly says, 'That's not what I meant when I said, "stumble to the kitchen!"' Take it easy and keep on riding."
Even the country star's youngest daughter took to the comments! She simply wrote, "Oh nooooo".
In any case, we hope that the country artist wasn't bruised - in both ways, ego and back! Good on him for taking such an accident in his stead, and even being able to joke about it!
