Country music star Tim McGraw fell off stage on Saturday after losing his balance.
According to TikTok user @whodis88, the singer got down on his knees to thank his band near the end of his Boots in the Park performance in Tempe, Arizona. He then stumbled off the edge of the stage as he attempted to stand.
McGraw, who appeared unharmed, seized the chance to interact more with the audience.
Reactions were quick and mixed.
The first were people asking if perhaps this fall might be due to not just balance issues from standing up quickly.

That was the most generous interpretation.
Others went straight for accusations.

On purpose or no, substances or not, glad to see McGraw metaphorically and literally stuck the landing and had a sweet moment with fans because of this incident.
