Tim McGraw took a tumble during a concert this week.
The country superstar was playing at the Riverbend Music Center in Ohio on Thursday night, and during a performance of one of his most iconic hits, “I Like It, I Love It,” he stumbled back and fell to the floor.
As seen in video obtained by Fox News Digital, McGraw didn’t let the hard fall faze him.

After his legs splayed in the air, he sat up quickly with a smile on his face. He pulled himself up and got right back into the performance.
McGraw seemed to take the fall in stride after it happened, and he did the same on social media.

“I’ve had four back surgeries and double knee replacements, just in the last couple of years,” McGraw said during a California show in October.
The “Blind Side” actor said right before his most recent back surgery that spring, “things were getting really bad,” with the star “getting depressed over it,” which made him consider retirement.

His surgeon was in the audience, as well as another surgeon who’d operated on his wife, fellow country star Faith Hill. After introducing them to the crowd, McGraw said, “This spring, before I had my final back surgery, things were getting really bad, so I was seriously contemplating and figuring out how to walk away. I didn’t want to, but I didn’t think it was going to get better.”

“But it’s gotten better. So, during that process, I had this idea for this song that sort of dealt with facing age and facing all that stuff that comes along with it,” before singing the song he mentioned, called “King Rodeo.”
Lyrics of the song include: “Hey, King Rodeo, You’re lookin’ lonely, Like you’ve lost you’re one and only, Adoring crowds are not around you, Whispers and shadows, they surround you.”
