While falling over on stage might be the stuff of nightmares for some singers, Ariana Grande is such a professional that when it happened to her she made it a) happen in time to the music and b) graceful and part of the choreography.

Allow us to explain.

At her recent Sweetener tour concert, Grande was strutting past her backing dancers in her trademark knee-high PVC boots when she misjudged her footing.

In a clip shared to Twitter by a fan, the 26-year-old falls onto her knees and then manages to fall further into her male dancer's arms, who helps save the day by picking her up and incorporating it into some choreography.

Even more impressively, Grande manages to make it back in time to get back up on to the stage and lean back in time to the final beat of the song, where she can be seen laughing with relief.

Grande responded to the video on Twitter, joking: 'Oh my. At least I still made the button. I'm crying. Things were going too well.'

One mishap out of a 100 stop world tour, Ari? We wouldn't worry.

Besides, the slight misstep came in the same week that the 'No Tears Left To Cry' singer was nominated for five Grammy awards including Record of the year for '7 Rings' and Album of the year for thank u, next.


Grande responded saying she was 'moved and honoured' by the nominations and urged her friends and collaborators to 'come hold me (and grab the Cliquot)'.

The way all achievements should be celebrated!
