Thomas Rhett breaks his ankle, Kelsea Ballerini crashes onto stage | Music City Minute

Apr 15, 2025, 3:33 PM

I’m not sure what was is the air last Sunday night, but major country stars were falling harder than a summer rain. First off is Thomas Rhett. He was a surprise guest at Forrest Frank’s show in Nashville. As Rhett made his way to the stage, he missed a step and went tumbling. The “T-Shirt” singer made it through the performance like a true professional. Later, Rhett confirmed he broke his ankle and was pushed out of the arena in a wheelchair by his hysterically laughing wife.
Next up is Kelsea Ballerini, who was performing the last show of her arena tour in Toronto. The “Peter Pan” singer was rocking through a cover of “Friends In Low Places” when she accidentally stepped off a raised platform and crashed onto the stage below. Ballerini’s impressive recovery was a 10 out of 10, and she was able to finish the concert.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
