Pop icon Madonna proved that sometimes letting your body move to the music can come with its own set of hazards, falling on her face before an entire stadium of fans during Sunday’s Seattle stop on her Celebration tour.

In a now-viral incident, Madge, 65, could be seen opening herself up to a world of pain during her rendition of “Open Your Heart,” falling out of a sliding chair after the dancer hauling the prop — and the pop star — briefly lost their balance.


While both Madonna and the unidentified backup performer “Live[d] To Tell” the tale of their tumble — the dancer springing back to their mark as the singer enjoyed a moment on the floor, even appearing to let out a giggle — several clips of the incident quickly went viral on social media.



“That dancer is in fear for his life…” wrote @TheBertOfficial on Twitter.

“Of course she fell off a chair, that’s what happens to senior citizens,” joked @Eric17098484339.


Meanwhile, @mjsdiiana speculated whether this embarrassing moment could serve a larger purpose, finally putting an end to Madonna’s long-running beef with the late Michael Jackson. “Can someone edit MJ Kicking the chair into this?” they asked.


But even with her now-viral embarrassing moment, Madonna shouldn’t get too “Hung Up” on this snafu: One woman’s tumble is an internet “Holiday.”
