Kelsea Ballerini gave fans quite the scare during the final night of her Patterns Tour on Sunday, April 13, when she tumbled off the edge of a raised platform on stage.
“Kelsea took ‘If You Go Down’ quite literally tonight in Toronto,” one video of the heart-stopping moment, uploaded to TikTok, was captioned, referencing one of her songs that contains the lyrics, “If you go down, I’m going down, too.”
The video was taken at a straight angle and showed the “Patterns” singer performing a cover of “Friends In Low Places” with her entire crew on stage. She wore a bright blue bodysuit, making her stand out in a sea of technical black t-shirts, so it was impossible to miss when she spun in a circle on the edge of the hydraulic lift as it began to rise and immediately lost her footing, tumbling to the ground.

Many were impressed with her ability to “turn any mistake into a masterpiece” as she barely missed a beat, continuing to sing from beneath the lift and incorporating some dramatic choreography for comedic relief, but others were concerned for the performer.
“girl are you okay???” one fan captioned another video of the moment.

“Not a single person went to help her???” someone else asked in shock, while another mourned, “That looked like it hurt. I’d definitely have a bruise.”
“I have so much respect for performers because I’d cut the show and leave the country and change my identity and they are always able to just roll with it,” someone else wrote in awe, with plenty of others impressed with the way she “played off a mishap quicker than they had time to react.”
“That’s our girl Fallerini 👏,” someone else joked.
