Famous country star Shania Twain wiped out on stage during her Chicago concert and made the most of it by continuing to sing while on the floor.
The star slipped and fell on state in the middle of performing her hit song Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You). Her knee-high boots seemed to be slippery at the bottom and she met the floor, ending up on her butt in the corner of the stage. Fan video of the mishap shows Twain sitting on the floor as she raised one hand up in the air and shouted “Don’t be stupid Chicago. You know I love you,” and then let out a high-pitched scream.
In the moments before her fall, Twain arched backward in an effort to steady herself and flailed her arms on the side of her body, but was unable to stay upright.
Fans cheered on the 57-year-old star as she embraced her fall and refused to stop her performance.
With the microphone still in her hand, she slowly propped herself on one knee, then onto the other, and carefully got back on her feet.
Twain immediately began dragging the bottoms of her boots across the stage, seemingly grinding them down so that she wouldn’t slip again as she continued to move across the stage.
