Miss Thailand Contestant Reacts After Her Teeth Fell Out in Viral Pageant Moment
Kamolwan Chanago is smiling through it—literally.
After the Miss Grand Thailand contestant went viral when her fake teeth accidentally slipped out during the preliminary round of the pageant, she playfully nodded toward the moment again.
As she introduced herself during the contest's finals March 28, Kamolwan first kept her natural teeth before slipping on her flipper—or denture retainer—and playfully winking at the cameras.
The 18-year-old represented Pathum Thani, a Thailand province north of Bangkok, and competed among 77 contestants for the Miss Grand Thailand crown. The prize, however, was ultimately awarded to Pattama Jitsawat of Chonburi.
Nevertheless, Kamolwan became a worldwide phenomenon during the viral teeth-slipping moment at the contest’s preliminary round on March 25. In a livestream video from the round, Kamolwan began to have difficulty speaking before her flipper slipped out of place.
Despite the gaffe, Kamolwan maintained her poise finishing up her moment after turning away from the camera to readjust her fake teeth. She then went on to flash a toothy grin as she made her way off stage, with Miss Grand International Pageant organizers going on to laud her for handling the situation “with professionalism and composure.”
Indeed, the Miss Grand International organization was floored by Kamolwan’s commitment.
“The event continued smoothly without disruption,” the organizers added in a statement to People. “We are proud of her confidence and stage presence throughout the competition.”

Kamolwan is far from the first performer to handle an on-stage mishap with ease. Stars like LeAnn Rhimes and Taylor Swift have even had teeth-specific malfunctions, with the latter pop star once chipping her tooth while on stage during the Red tour in 2013.
“I really quickly pulled my mic up to sing and basically uppercut punched myself in the tooth," Taylor recalled to Rolling Stone at the time. "And then part of it fell onto the stage and I was like, 'Oh, I wonder how bad that was. I wonder which tooth that is and I wonder how bad that is.’”
As she put of the minor tooth break, “It's just gonna be a little bit jagged, I guess.”

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."

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 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."
