As ERNEST concluded his set on Morgan Wallen’s One Night At A Time World Tour, he stumbled over the stage production, resulting in a fall. The incident occurred while he was distributing roses to the audience after performing his song “Flower Shops.” While on the stage’s runway, he misjudged his step and tumbled off the stage, landing in the barricaded area. However, he swiftly recovered from the fall, cheering along with the crowd, showing them he was unfazed.
Taking the unfortunate situation in stride, the country hitmaker showcased his good sportsmanship by sharing a clip, captured by his videographer, on social media of the incident. “ATHLETE #STL,” he said in the Instagram video caption.
ERNEST’s video garnered attention from various country stars, who went on to comment on the video. “Oh this is going big viral,” Jelly Roll commented. “This is why we went to Lipscomb. Reaction and Recovery 10/10,” Mitchel Tenpenny stated.
“So awesome. olympic gold worthy dismount and landing dude,” Dierks Bentley noted.
ERNEST is currently touring with Wallen as a support act on the extensive One Night At A Time World Tour. The tour commenced on April 14 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He will continue to join Wallen on the tour until it ends on October 7 at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington.
The country singer is quickly climbing up the country music ladder after gaining recognition for his songwriting skills, having penned tracks for notable artists such as Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Jake Owen, and Chris Lane. In 2019, ERNEST inked a record deal with Big Loud, further establishing his career as a solo artist.
