Most singers have a short list of embarrassing stage mishaps during their career, and Madonna is certainly no exception.

This one will likely make her list.

While on stage at The BRIT Awards in London on Wednesday, the 56-year-old Queen of Pop, a Michigan native, attempted to take off her Dracula-like cape while on a short set of stairs during her performance of her new single "Living for Love."

It appears as though she didn't get it unbuttoned and/or untied in time, but the dancer tasked with pulling the cape off didn't get the memo.

He pulled anyway, causing her to quickly tumble backwards down the steps.

If there is a bright side to this embarrassing moment, it's that we know for sure she wasn't lip syncing.
