Not even one song into his set at the Colorado State Fair on Saturday night (Aug. 24), Scotty McCreery brought his performance to a halt after apparently witnessing someone in the crowd hit a woman.
During an opening showcase of his song 'It Matters to Her', the 'Damn Strait' star stopped mid-lyric to call out the alleged assault. He can be seen in fan-captured videos addressing the matter from center stage.
"Hey, hey, hey, right here. That's a lady you just hit, sir," McCreery can be seen calling into the mic and gesturing toward a cluster of fans near the front of the stage. "Absolutely not. Who just hit the lady?"
He proceeded to call on security to get the assailant booted from the show, all the while asking if the victim was okay.
"On God's green earth," he continued to scorn the aggressor's actions, remarking, "At a Scotty McCreery show?! What are you doing?"
Upon security's arrival, McCreery called on attendees to help pinpoint the alleged perpetrator, saying, "Y'all let the cop know who hit the lady. That's absolutely unacceptable."
Before continuing his show, he had some final words for the ejected fan and their actions. "Whoever you are, that's the definition of a coward, hitting a lady. Get the heck outta here, man."
McCreery is currently on the road in support of his summer release, Rise & Fall, an album that find the artist tracing a career full of ups, downs, highs and lows.
“I feel like we’re on the rise now, but I’ve fallen pretty low as well,” McCreery shared of the album ahead of its release. “I learned from every little part of that, and it helped me to know who I was as a person – let alone an artist.”
However high he rises or low he falls, the artist seems the type to always stand up for what's right and what's wrong, especially where one of his fans is concerned.
