“And they said I got amnesia and had post-concussion syndrome,” she added. “I don’t know how long I was knocked unconscious. But they said it was over a minute or up to 30 minutes.”
“I can laugh now, because I’m doing a lot better, but it was a very intense thing,” the singer continued, per the outlet. “The baby is totally fine, and I’m doing a lot better.”
The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer said the support she’s gotten since the accident from the people in Nashville, where she lives now, is why she loves the community.
“What I love about Nashville is the community that I haven’t really had in any of the last multiple cities that I’ve lived in, even if I’ve had a bunch of friends,” King shared. “There’s something beautiful about this city and my friends and my music family, they all totally gathered around me and were all so supportive and showed up for me and helped me with the baby.”
The superstar singer also explained that part of her recovery has involved physical therapy.
“A lot of stretches, and a lot of, like, quiet, downtime which has never been my strong suit,” King said.
After the scary accident, King ended up having to cancel a handful of shows, sharing at the time that she “just wanted to check in with a quick update and apologize to my fans in Tampa, Detroit, and Seattle. I share your disappointment that I had to cancel my radio shows this week.”
“No one ever wants to pull out of shows, especially me,” she added. “I live for performing. I tried to push through and played 3 shows, but the travel, lights, all of it only exacerbated things.”
