Country singer LeAnn Rimes “panicked” when her teeth fell out of her mouth in the middle of a performance over the weekend, she revealed in candid TikTok video. Rimes, 42, said she felt a “pop” while singing her 1996 hit “One Way Ticket.” Next thing she knew, the dental bridge ordinarily at the front of her mouth had flown out. “To which I panicked and said ‘hold, on!’ and ran to the side of the stage,” Rimes recalled. She “popped” the bridge back in and kept on singing. The country icon said, though, that she had to “get real with everyone” in the audience by letting them in on what was going. For the rest of the performance, she was holding her teeth in her mouth with her hand as she sang. “I never knew how many ‘Fs’ and ‘Ths’ and ‘Shs’ that I have in my songs,” Rimes joked. Although the moment was “embarrassing” at first, Rimes took the mishap in stride. “It was the most epic experience ever,” she said. “I don’t usually have firsts in my career—that was a first, and hopefully a last.”
