LeAnn Rimes proved once again that the show must go on — even when your teeth have other plans.
During a recent performance at The Skagit Casino Resort in Washington, the country-pop star faced an unexpected obstacle when her front dental bridge popped out mid-song. The mishap struck as Rimes belted her 1996 hit “One Way Ticket,” forcing her to briefly leave the stage.
In a refreshingly candid Instagram video after the show, the singer shared the details with fans. “If you’ve followed me, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries,” Rimes explained with a laugh. “I have a bridge in the front, and it fell out — right in the middle of my song.”
Rather than cancel the set, the 42-year-old quickly regrouped, returning to the stage and cleverly holding her teeth in place while continuing to perform. “I just ran with it,” she joked, calling the mishap “the most epic experience ever.”
Rimes, who has publicly battled dental issues for years, turned the moment into a lighthearted lesson in resilience — reminding everyone that even in live music, things fall apart — literally — but grace and humor hold it together.
