Paisley was giving a concert at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine at the time. The incident was preserved on a TikTok video. Paisley is on stage, energetically singing and doing his professional thing. Suddenly, the jumbo video screen behind him shows static-y interference. Paisley seems a little bewildered and shaken. Anyone would be!
Per the outlet, "The sound then distorts, followed by the mic letting out an unusual noise." Lightning evidently "sent a shock through the venue's system. The tense moment likely had everyone on their toes."
Everyone Was Badly Jarred
Per the outlet, fans breathlessly commented on the unusual disruption. One noted, "I had a lady almost jump over my chair onto my back. It was crazy!" From someone else, "That made me jump and the second one on the right side of the stage was close too."
