Epic Prank Wars At Rascal Flatts Concert Will Have You In Tears
on Sep 20, 2016 • Updated Jan 29, 2023
While Rascal Flatts recruited country stars Kelsea Ballerini and Chris Lane to join them on their Rhythm & Roots Tour, the two additions have finally performed their last set with the iconic band, who now continue on the rest of their tour alone. However, the two stars knew better than to leave without a bang, and they did just that!
Lane, showcasing the masterminded prankster he is capable of channeling, chose Ballerini as his first victim. During her performance of her widely popular song “Peter Pan”, Lane graced the stage from above dressed as the classic and appropriate character of Peter Pan. Hanging from a rope, Lane casually hung above the stage directly over Ballerini, often breaking into a flying-esque pose for the full Peter Pan experience!

Upon seeing Lane in flight, Ballerini began to burst into laughs, hopelessly attempting to finish her performance!
But the fun refused to stop there! Rascal Flatts began their perfromance of “Life Is A Highway”, in which they were rushed by various band members wearing construction worker outfits, police uniforms, and even race car driver suits, all pushing Lane and Ballerini on tricycles for the “highway” experience.
Lane and his band continued to bring the practical jokes, turning the song “Fast Cars And Freedom” into a redneck, football tailgate!
In regards to that event being the last night with the two stars, member Jay DeMarcus said, “You never know what’s going to happen tonight. All bets are off, everything becomes fair game and it’s probably going to get crazy as the night goes on.”
And that is exactly what happened! Not only did fans get an incredible performance from all of these stars, but they also received some memorable laughs and experiences.
Check out the fan captured clip of Lane and Ballerini crashing the party during “Life Is A Highway”!
