Carrie Underwood was caught on camera falling right off the stage during the rain soaked finale of her show at the Carolina Country Music fest over the weekend.
In a TMZ clip posted on X, the 41-year-old country singer continues singing as she walks to the back of the stage towards some stairs and then appears to slip and fall off them at the end of her performance at the Myrtle Beach concert on Sunday.
Several fans spotted the fall and one can be overheard saying that the country singer “fell!”
Taking to social media after the concert, the “Jesus Take The Wheel” hitmaker seemed to hint at the tumble, noting it was an unexpected ending.

”Well, last night sure was fun!” Underwood captioned one of her post showing several snaps of her performing in the downpour. “And though the ending was quite unexpected, it made for a night we’ll never forget! Thanks for being awesome.”
In a second post she wrote, “We won’t let a little rain stop us! We won’t let a massive downpour stop us, either!” The post included a video of her singing in what looked to be a torrential rain storm.
The fall brought back memories of the time the “Blown Away” singer suffered in 2017 on the steps outside her Nashville home that resulted in her getting dozens of stitches and breaking her wrist. She went dark on social media for months and when she finally resurfaced she warned fans about her “not quite looking the same” after the accident, People magazine noted.
In her post at the time to fan club members, Underwood wrote that she had to get “40 and 50 stitches” on her face, Billboard magazine noted at the time.
“It’s crazy how a freak random accident can change your life. In addition to breaking my wrist, I somehow managed to injure my face as well. I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but when I came out of surgery the night of my fall, the doctor told [Underwood’s husband] Mike that he had put between 40 and 50 stitches in.”
“I honestly don’t know how things are going to end up but I do know this: I am grateful,” she added. “I am grateful that it wasn’t much, much worse. And I am grateful for the people in my life that have been there every step of the way.”
“I am determined to make 2018 amazing and I want to share things with you along the way,” Underwood continued. “And when I am ready to get in front of a camera, I want you all to understand why I might look a bit different.”
