In TikTok footage captured by a concertgoer, fans in the crowd are seen getting involved in a scuffle, with some falling to the floor.
'I mean, this is not a Travis Scott concert,' Johnson told the crowd, referring to Scott's 2021 Astroworld concert in which a crowd surge killed 10 people and injured hundreds more. 'There's kids in the crowd, there are all kinds of things in here that don't need to happen.'
'There we go, there are the police officers,' he added.
According to the Daily Mail, Johnson had opened up about 'unity and not being divided' ahead of his performance of 'God Bless America.'

After the fight, Johnson told the crowd, 'Well, so much for my speech on not being divided.'
A representative for Johnson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Johnson is not the only country star who has stopped mid-concert to address a rowdy crowd.
In March, Carly Pearce confronted 'angry' fans during a performance at O2 Academy Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

'We're all here to just have a good night, you know what I mean? We're all friends at my shows,' Pearce said, as she paused her concert to address fans when a fight broke out.

Video: Owner Proves Yorkie Might Not Be Her ‘Kid' But Is Her ‘Whole World'
Ask any dog parent if their pup is 'just a dog,' and prepare for a very long, emotionally charged rebuttal. From meal prep to daily routines, many pet owners find themselves doing nearly everything a parent would, just for a four-legged 'kid' who never talks back. One Yorkie mom has taken that comparison to heart in a recent video, and the internet is loving the way she shows just how 'not a kid' her pup really is. Zuko, a small Yorkshire Terrier, is featured in a video uploaded to the TikTok account @zukoslittlelife. The short clip is going viral for its quiet but powerful message: pets can be just as important and cherished as children. It opens with a line many pet parents have heard very often: 'He's not your kid.' The camera shows Zuko standing in a room surrounded by scattered toys. The scene then shifts to his owner gathering the toys and placing them back into a bin, while the caption reads, 'As I pick up all his toys and place them back in his bin for the next time he wants to play.' The theme carries on with a shot of the owner preparing breakfast — not just for herself, but for Zuko too — making sure he starts his day with a healthy meal. Each new clip contrasts the repeated phrase, 'He's not your kid,' with loving, thoughtful actions that reflect the deep bond they share. From taking him outside for exercise and fresh air to washing his blankets so he sleeps soundly, every detail mirrors the care a parent gives a child. She even teaches him new tricks to keep his mind sharp, nurturing his growth much like any devoted caregiver would. The video closes with a heartfelt admission: 'Yeah, he's not my kid… He's my heart… My whole world.' Zuko may not be her biological child, but the love and devotion she shows him are every bit as genuine. In her final message, she gently acknowledges those who might not understand that kind of connection, hoping they, too, one day meet a dog who changes their life in the same way Zuko has transformed hers.
