Madonna continues singing despite fall
The incident happened when Madonna sat on a chair and the dancer started to drag the chair along with her.
But soon the person got imbalanced, seemingly because of the high heels, leading to their, as well as the Queen of Pop's collapse live in front of the audience.

Maybe having a man in high heels dragging you in a chair on stage wasn't a good idea?

She's a master ventriloquist! She can fall, stare straight-faced, laugh AND continue singing the song at the same time without missing a beat!

At least they made a lighthearted reaction to the incident. Anything can happen during a live show. She's still great at 65!

Concern for dancer
However, there were a few who showed concern for the dancer while hating on Madonna.
A critic tweeted, “This is far from professional. He slid on his high heeled shoe, then the second girl got stuck on her garter. Madonna isn’t in heels, it’s too dangerous for a heavy woman of her age. She’s dubbed so she can just laugh about how sloppy this is.”
