Even a Queen (of Pop) Can Fall

This is why Madonna should have let her kids watch TV and such when they were growing up: She would have known that a Queen of Pop, much like superheroes, should never wear a cape.

M learned this important lesson – which comes from The Incredibles – the hard way today while performing (for the first time in 20 years!) at the Brit Awards in London. M was on hand to sing “Living for Love” much like she did at the Grammys earlier this month, except this time she wore a cape.

And that cape, beautifully designed by Armani, was meant to be part of the show in that one of her dancers was to gracefully pull it from her.

What ended up happening was M got yanked down from up a stairwell with it. Hard. Like, drop-your-mic hard.

Ever the pro, though, Madonna picked herself right back up after the world watched her stumble and carried on with her song, just like she sings in her latest anthem.

She later Instagrammed that she is fine. “Nothing can stop me,” she said.

In-f---in’-deed, my Queen!
