The perils of high heels! Meghan Trainor took a terrifying tumble right onto her back during a musical performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — crashing to the ground as she turned to face the audience right at the end of her song.

Acting the gentleman, Jimmy Fallon decided the best thing to do was to turn Trainor’s fall into a joke—he got down on the stage beside her!

Trainor managed to see the funny side and started cracking up with Fallon, and eventually both got to their feet to huge applause from the show crowd.

Ironically, Trainor’s fall came right at the end of quite an energetic performance, during which the singer had managed to stay balanced on her platform shoes with no problem at all!

Taking to Twitter after her fall, Trainor was in great spirits. When a fan asked if she’d hurt herself she insisted she was fine (and was still able to laugh about it!)

“Might have fell down… but I KILLLED that sh-t hahaha,” she wrote. “#keepinitreal thank you @fallontonight.”

Earlier this week, the self-assured star pulled the video to her new hit, “Me Too,” when she realized her figure had been Photoshopped to make it look like her waist was skinnier than it was.

“My waist is not that teeny,” the pop star told fans via Snapchat. “I had a bomb waist that night, I don’t know why they didn’t like my waist. I didn’t approve that video and it went out to the world so I’m embarrassed.”
