Luke Bryan took a swing at a spectator while performing in Nashville Wednesday night.
The country star, 40, appeared to hit a man in the face while singing his single “Move” at the Charlie Daniels’ All-Star Volunteer Jam, a concert and charity event which helps raise money for U.S. veterans.
Right before the incident, Bryan can be heard telling the audience member — who was apparently taunting him — to “come on.” According to Rolling Stone, at least two men were involved in the spat, including one who was waving a sign reading, “We can see your camel toe” — a dig at Bryan’s famously tight jeans.

Luke Bryan is not here for crude behavior.
While performing for the Volunteer Jam at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday night, the 40-year-old country singer took a swing at a heckler in the front row after seeing him gesturing with his middle finger. Bryan was in the middle of singing his latest hit, "Move," when he paused briefly to make his way down to the audience, hit the man with a right hook -- microphone in hand -- and return to the stage to finish the song. Immediately after the incident, security descended on the heckler and removed him from the venue.
The moment was captured clearly by concertgoers from multiple angles and posted to social media, though Bryan has not personally addressed the incident on his accounts.
"A man in [the] front row was making crude hand gestures toward Luke during his performance," the singer's rep tells Et in a statement. "It was insulting...
