Brantley Gilbert Takes Matters Into His Own hands With Violent Fan

We love Brantley Gilbert around here for many reasons.  Here is another reason to appreciate this artist.  Brantley Gilbert takes matters into his own hands with violent fan.

Brantley Gilbert stopped a show over the weekend when he noticed a fan acting violently towards a female in the audience.  He didn't hesitate.  He rushed into the audience and yelled to the man to "chill the f *** out".  A fan posted the video online , very happy that Brantley stepped in and took control of the situation.

We know Brantley to be a very down to earth guy, a great family man and a person that expects respect to be extended to everyone.  Easy to believe that he is looking into the audience and making sure everyone is ok. Taste of Country is reporting that the audience member punched the girl. Let's just say, that guy picked the wrong concert to put his hands on a woman.  Get more details here.   Here is a video of the incident.

Halftime 2024: Which Country Star(s) Should Perform

In 2003 Shania Twain played the Halftime show at the Super Bowl, and since then, country music has not been part of the Super Bowl halftime show. While many country stars, including Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Eric Church, and Luke Bryan, have performed the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, the Halftime show has excluded country stars for the most part.

So here's a look at the country superstars that would be amazing at Halftime in the future.

10 - Jason Aldean

This guy commands sold-out arena shows and has a very rockin' country show that would play nicely at the Super Bowl.


9 - Luke Bryan

Luke is a standout act that keeps his soldout crowds on their feet and even dazzles his capacity Las Vegas crowd. Thanks to his role on 'American Idol,' he's a household name to even non-country fans.


8 - Blake Shelton

One of country music's biggest stars and personalities, Blake would be great at the Super Bowl halftime show, especially with his special guest wife, Gwen Stefani, taking the stage with her man. And like Luke Bryan, thanks to being a judge on a music competition show, all of America knows who Blake is.


7 - Kenny Chesney

A stadium country music superstar, Kenny would be excellent at the Super Bowl halftime show playing, most likely in a stadium that he has already headlined.


6 - Carrie Underwood

Her latest "Denim and Rhinestones" show is full of energy and keeps the crowd screaming for more. Carrie is a natural and would get an A+ at a halftime show. She also has history with the NFL, having sung the Monday Night Football theme for them.


5 - Keith Urban

His shows are legendary, and with his guitar skills, Keith would make country music proud at the Super Bowl halftime show.


4 - Luke Combs

Just a handful of years into his massive career, Luke is already playing stadiums all over the country, and his show can get wild and rowdy with the party country atmosphere.


3 - Morgan Wallen

Morgan keeps fans screaming for more in stadiums all over the country.

He says he is done playing stadiums after his recent three-year stadium tour, but with his high-energy show and legendary status, it's shocking that Garth has not done Halftime yet.
