Why Scotty McCreery’s Concert Halted at Colorado State Fair: ‘Absolutely Not’

The Colorado State Fair recently kicked off with an exciting blend of culinary delights, livestock exhibitions, thrilling rodeos, and stunning acrobatic displays.

However, it was an unexpected incident during a Scotty McCreery concert that captured the most attention.

Over the weekend, while the American Idol star was performing, he abruptly stopped the show, as seen in a video shared with News 5 by Jessica R.

“Hey, Hey, Hey, right here, right here, that’s a lady you just hit sir,” exclaimed McCreery after witnessing a man hit a woman near the front row, as reported by Colorado State Fair security.

The country music singer demanded, “Absolutely not, who just hit the lady?” before calling for security and police to handle the situation.

The video does not clarify whether the man was identified or escorted out, but Colorado State Fair security is aware and actively investigating the incident. McCreery, before resuming his performance, was heard stating, “Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward.”

In a formal statement, Colorado State Fair security urged the public to assist in their investigation.

We can confirm that an incident took place at the Scotty McCreery concert on Saturday where a man assaulted a woman and the performer stopped the show. Colorado State Fair security assisted with crowd control. This incident is still under investigation and we cannot comment further. However, anyone who has video or other images of the incident is encouraged to share it with Colorado State Fair security at [email protected].
