"Is she OK? Get the heck out of here," he said as the crowd began booing at the man who could not be seen in the footage. He was escorted out of the concert.
"On God’s green earth, at a Scotty McCreery show?" the singer asked in disbelief while photos of his wife, Gabi, flashed on the wall behind him because she inspired his song "It Matters to Her" that he had been singing, according to Taste of Country.
