During his performance, Scotty McCreery took a break to support a concertgoer.
Country music star Scotty McCreery paused his concert at the Colorado State Fair this past weekend after witnessing a man allegedly assaulting a woman in the audience.
Social media videos show McCreery stopping his performance for over two minutes during the introduction of his hit song, “It Matters To Her,” as authorities and audience members intervened.
“Right here, that’s a lady you just hit, sir,” McCreery, 30, says, and the crowd loudly gasps. “Absolutely not, you just hit the lady. Police? Security? Is she OK? Get the heck out of here.”
“On God’s green earth. At a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing?” the singer said on stage after pointing the alleged assailant out. “Y’all let the cop know who hit the lady. That’s absolutely unacceptable.”
“We got ‘em? We good down there?” he asked security before concluding, “Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward, hitting a lady. Get the heck out of here.” He then checked in with the crowd before he resumed his set.
Colorado State Fair officials stated, “The performer halted the show”
Colorado State Fair officials informed that the attack occurred during the singer’s set.
They have not disclosed the man’s name or whether he was arrested.
