The video, taken by a concertgoer, started with Carrie saying goodbye to the crowd and taking a bow. She then turned away from the audience and started heading down some stairs below the stage. That’s when she all of a sudden disappeared. A couple of nearby fans could be heard yelling, “She fell!”

We won’t let a massive downpour stop us, either!” That caption was accompanied by a video of the rainstorm as she pushed on and continued to perform.

Carrie isn’t the only singer connected toAmerican Idolwho fell recentlywhile performing at a concert. Back in April, Luke Bryan held a concert in Vancouver, BC, during which he fell on stage. The video went viral, and it was even joked about during the next episode ofAmerican Idolseason 22. While initial reports indicated he tripped on a phone, the country music singer later said the stage was likely slick or there might have been some spilled water.
Regardless of the reason, it looked like Luke’s fall really hurt. As for Carrie,it’s unclear if the “Before He Cheats” singer injured herself during her fall. Presumably, hers was caused by the rain.

While several other singers over the years have performed shows in the rain or through various other weather-related conditions, Taylor’s concert from 2023 was possibly the most viral one of them all. She brought herEras Tourto Massachusetts, where it proceeded to drench everyone in attendance. The concert lasted about 3.5 hours, but the fans in the audience didn’t let the rain stop them from enjoying the opportunity to see their favorite singer in person. Taylor also performed recently in France, where she experienced a similar deluge during a concert.
Fortunately, the rain wasn’t pouring down for the entirety of Carrie’s recent show in Myrtle Beach. Someone in her Instagram comments called out the singer for putting herself and the audience in danger, and reprimanded her for not rescheduling. However, as fans correctly pointed out, it didn’t start raining until the final song and the lightning didn’t start until sometime after the show ended, so it wouldn’t have made sense to cancel or reschedule.

American Idol
Cast
American Idol is a reality singing competition that adds to the international “Idol” brand, conceived initially in the U.K. as Pop Idol. Holding massive auditions across the U.S., American Idol invited several contestants to perform in front of a panel of judges that would determine whether or not they’d go on to future rounds for a chance at competing in the fully televised premiere of the show. Contestants are voted off each week by American participation via voting through various mediums, and the winner of the competition would be given a contract with a record label to secure a future as America’s next musical idol.
