See Miss Thailand Contestant’s Teeth Fall Out During Pageant
A Miss Grand Thailand contestant is giving new meaning to dental crowns.
Kamolwan Chanago stunned spectators when her veneers fell out mid-speech during the pageant’s preliminary round March 25.
As seen in a livestream video, the 18-year-old was in the middle of introducing herself onstage when the dental laminates of her upper teeth loosened. Visibly struggling to speak with her mouth full, Kamolwan turned away from the camera to set her veneers back in place.
And like a pro, she went on to sashay down the catwalk in her glittery evening gown. Kamolwan—one of the 77 contestants vying for the crown—even flashed a big, toothy smile as she spun around, flipping her fur shawl in the air before heading off the stage.
While the Pathum Thani native has not publicly addressed the gaffe, organizers for the event praised her for handling the situation “with professionalism and composure.”
“During her on-stage introduction, Kamolwan Chanago experienced a minor and unexpected incident in which her veneer teeth became dislodged,” a spokesperson for Miss Grand International told People. “We are proud of her confidence and stage presence throughout the competition.”
The spokesperson added that the event “continued smoothly without disruption.”
As for how Kamolwan fared in the competition? The grand finale will take place on March 28, with the winner moving on to represent the country in the Miss Grand International pageant in India this October.

But she’s not the only star who has suffered a dental mishap onstage. Just ask LeAnn Rimes, whose fake tooth fell out during a performance last year.
“I was on stage in the middle of ‘One Way Ticket’ [and] I feel something pop in my mouth,” she recalled in a June Instagram video. “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.”
While the Grammy winner admittedly “panicked,” the show still went on. As she put it, she “ran to the side of the stage and popped it back in, and then just went on singing.”
“I had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening,” LeAnn added, “or else I would have had to walk off stage.”

Luke Bryan
During his finale performance of “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” at the North Dakota State Fair in 2025, the American Idol judge was pelted with a flying object. However, the musician took it in stride, finishing the song without missing a beat.
As one fan noted, “Carried on like a champ.”

Nick Jonas
The Jonas Brothers member had to send out an S.O.S and ask fans to stop throwing things on stage after two bracelets almost hit him at a California stop on the group’s tour in 2023.

Cardi B
In case it wasn’t clear, Cardi B does not like it like that. When a front row patron splashed their drink on the performer mid-set at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas July 2023, she responded by throwing her microphone.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that an unidentified woman reported a battery case the day after the concert, but noted no arrest or citations have been issued. In August 2023, Cardi’s lawyers told TMZ that police informed them no charges would be filed against the singer.

Bebe Rexha
Baby, Bebe Rexha is gonna have the best f–kin’ night of her life no matter what happens. Struck in the face when a man at her June 2023 show in NYC threw a phone, she later posted a photo of her injured eye, writing, “I’m good.”
Todd A Spodek, a lawyer for Nicolas Malvagna, who was arrested and charged with assault, told TMZ, “As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. RexHa.”

Kelsea Ballerini
Kelsea Ballerini didn’t find it all that charming when someone tossed jewelry up on stage during a June 2023 performance in Idaho. “Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eyes,” she wrote on Instagram Stories days later, “and it more so just scared me than hurt me.”

Ava Max
Listen, she’s not that sweet. Ava Max had words for the man who assaulted her during an L.A. performance in June 2023. “He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye,” the “Sweet but Psycho” singer wrote on Twitter. “He’s never coming to a show again.”

Pink
Pink thought the fan who randomly passed her a wheel of Brie while she was singing at at London’s British Summer Time Festival in 2023 was kinda grate. “What the f–k,” the musician said, as she reached for the dairy. “I wanna kiss you on the mouth.”
But just give us a reason for why another fan tossed a bag of ashes the very next day. “This is your mom?” the “What About Us” singer asked. “I don’t know how to feel about this.”

Harry Styles
A sign of the times? Harry Styles had to get away from numerous flying objects during his Love on Tour, including, inexplicably, a handful of Skittles at a 2022 show in Los Angeles. A rep for the taste the rainbow brand later tweeted, “Didn’t think I needed to say this: Please don’t throw Skittles.”

Billie Eilish
What a boob. As Billie Eilish sang “Lost Cause” at a February 2022 show, one fan tossed a set of false boobs at her. But proving that she’s, uh, breast under pressure, the seven-time Grammy winner flung them back into the crowd and kept going.

Kid Cudi
Uh, guys, he warned you. Moments after Kid Cudi told the crowd at his 2022 Rolling Loud set, “Yo, I’m going to walk off this stage, if y’all throw one more f–king thing up here, I will leave,” he was pegged with yet another object. So he left.

Ariana Grande
Arianators were left feeling sour after Ariana Grande was beaned with a lemon while headlining Coachella in 2019. And though the singer was definitely not so into it, into it, into it, she brushed off the fruit, telling the crowd, “One of y’all threw a lemon at me, s–t.”
