From Naomi Campbells’ infamous 1993 toppling in Vivienne Westwood killer heels to Madonna’s cape fail at the Brits last year, falling on stage happens to the most high-profile and renowned performers.
Which Meghan Trainor should take comfort from, given her spectacular fall on US television on Thursday evening.
Trainor was performing her new single “Me Too” on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. After completing the song and dance routine with no problems, it was a final turn and a misplaced footing that saw Trainor come crashing to the ground along with her microphone stand, letting out a couple of squeals as she did so.
In an attempt to make his guest feel better, good old Fallon lay down on the floor with her for a while until she regained composure.
While videos, gifs and, probably soon, memes will be doing the rounds of the internet, Trainor posted a defiant message on Instagram.
“Might have fell down… but I KILLED that sh*t,” she wrote.
