The The Voice coach was performing a headlining when he hit something and fell. He was able to stand back up again, but not before fans were able to take a video of his minor fall.

On Twitter, he admitted that he had a bit of drink before he hopped onstage; after all, the show was hosted by a known whiskey brand. However, Pitbull, who performed a set before Shelton, might have something to do with the fall.

The tweets were, of course, teasing. The two performers seemed to have bonded backstage before they played their respective sets.

Pitbull even posted a photo of himself smiling alongside the "I Lived It" singer on Twitter. Shelton noticeably had a red cup in hand.

However, not everyone was amused. A Twitter user responded to Shelton's tweets and accused the country singer of putting on a bad show. The fan argued that he should not have arrived drunk to a concert that people paid for. The fan also compared the award-winning singer-songwriter to Justin Bieber who, in 2015, was seen drinking a bottle of Hennessy and smoking weed onstage.

To that, the 42-year-old responded that his account was made for the fans who have a sense of humor. After all, neither drinking nor falling onstage made the show anything less than fantastic.
