“I was on stage in the middle of One Way Ticket,” she explained.
“I feel something pop in my mouth, and if you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries and I have a bridge in the front, and it fell out in the middle of my song last night.”
Rimes said she just panicked and told the crowd to hold on while she ran off stage.
“[I] put it back in, like popped it back in, and then just went on singing. I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening or else I would have had to walk off stage,” she continued.
“And so for the rest of the show I was literally like this pushing my teeth in.”
