Madonna fell backwards in her chair during a Seattle concert over the weekend — but she recovered like a champ.
As seen in several videos shared via social media, Her Madgesty, 65, took a tumble while performing her 1986 hit “Open Your Heart” after one of her dancers seemingly tripped while sliding the pop superstar across the stage at Climate Pledge Arena.
Madonna swiftly rolled over to her stomach, continuing to sing the song as she laughed off the mishap. She then stood up to finish the number.

Fans took to social media to share their reactions to the “Music” singer’s showmanship accompanied by an apparent sense of humor.
“@Madonna took a little fall on stage tonight in Seattle. She was a good sport about it. It was a great show,” one person wrote on X.
Another added via Instagram, “Queen behavior. Nothing can keep madonna down!”
This isn’t the first time the Grammy winner has powered through an onstage snafu. During the 2015 BRIT Awards, she fell down a set of stairs while performing her single “Living for Love” due to an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction involving a long, flowing cape.
“Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight!” she said afterward, per Vanity Fair. “But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I’m fine!”
Madonna’s next Celebration Tour stop is slated for Thursday at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The spectacle encapsulates the entirety of the Material Girl’s four-decade career, highlighting every album and era.
The tour almost didn’t happen, as Madonna spent several days in the ICU last summer because of a severe bacterial infection — which forced her to postpone the North American leg.
“It’s a miracle that I’m alive,” she said during her Brooklyn stop at Barclays Center in December, per USA Today. “I feel like I’m one of the lucky ones. … Let’s take a moment to be grateful.”
The Celebration Tour concludes April 26 in Mexico City.
