Material Girl takes a tumble down steps after snagging her cape

Madonna took a tumble down some stairs last night during her first performance at the Brit Awards in 20 years. Viewers were shocked when the singer fell backward and smashed into the stage after a dancer tried to yank off the cloak she was wearing. The 56-year-old fell three steps before getting back on her feet to continue the performance surrounded by dancers dressed as devils while performing her new single, “Living for Love,” at London’s O2 Arena.

Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I’m fine! ❤️#livingforlove

Madonna’s tweet to assure fans she was OK

Madonna was the last act to perform during the show, which saw Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith walk away with two awards each. Hers was not the only act whose performance did not go as well as might have been hoped. Kanye West’s song “All Day” had to be heavily muted because of repeated uses of the N-word in the lyrics, leaving many watching at home scratching their heads.
