LeAnn Rimes is speaking out after a dental malfunction nearly derailed one of her recent concerts.
The two-time Grammy winner was performing at Skagit Casino Resort in Bow, Washington, last week when her front dental bridge unexpectedly fell out, prompting her to abruptly exit the stage to address the situation.
Rimes recounted the experience Sunday in a candid video shared on her social media platforms.
'I was onstage, and in the middle of 'One Way Ticket,' I feel something pop in my mouth,' she explained. '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.'
Though Rimes said she initially 'panicked,' she nonetheless handled the situation like a pro ― even if she later found it challenging to perform her signature hit, 'Can't Fight the Moonlight,' because of the number of F's and T's in the song's lyrics.

'I ran to the side of the stage and put it back in, like popped it back in, and then just went on singing,' she quipped. 'And then I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening, or else I would have had to walk offstage. For the rest of the show, I was literally like this, pushing my teeth in, like every couple lines, and singing.'
'I don't usually have firsts in my career. That was a first and hopefully a last,' she added, before playfully warning her future audiences: 'Get ready for something to fly out. If you catch them, please return them.'
Rimes' admission drew a slew of well wishes from some of her famous pals, including fellow musician Richard Marx and actor Mary Steenburgen.
'Love you even more for this. The show must … go on!!' wrote 'Grey's Anatomy' actor Jessica Capshaw.
Rimes, who is set to appear on ABC's '911: Nashville' later this year, has been outspoken about her dental issues in the past. According to Billboard, the singer-songwriter has undergone dental surgery a total of 29 times.
In 2013, she filed a malpractice lawsuit against a former dentist, citing 'severe tooth pain, gum inflammation and chronic gum bleeding' that she said stemmed from failed crowns and veneers.
