Watch: Madonna falls down the stairs during her Brit Awards performance

Madonna performed tonight at the British version of the Grammys, the Brit Awards. She was set to perform "Living for Love," off of her new album Rebel Heart, and she entered the stadium wearing a hooded robe with a very long train that was carried by two dancers.

When she reached the top of the platform, she was supposed to unhook her cape and continue her performance. Instead, the hood became caught, and Madonna took a hefty four-stair plummet

Here's the fall in gif form:

True to form, Madonna was back up and dancing by the beginning of the chorus. Still, the fall looked painful, and it clearly shook her confidence for the rest of the number.
