Stop throwing stuff!!” said one fan. Another empathized, “I\u2019m sorry honey, that was so messed up. Thank God you didn\u2019t get hurt. Love ya so much.”<\/p>\n Luke Bryan is far from the only artist who’s experienced dangerous crowd behavior:<\/p>\n Kelsea Ballerini<\/strong> was hit in the face during a 2023 show in Boise, Idaho, forcing her to briefly leave the stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Bebe Rexha<\/strong> suffered a black eye after being hit by a cell phone in New York City.
