Story highlights Madonna falls while singing at Brit Awards

Backup dancer had problems pulling off singer's cape; she tumbled

(CNN) You're a backup dancer. This awards show is a big deal for you. You've been the one chosen to snatch a cape dramatically off Madonna during a musical number.

It's going to be a moment you'll remember for all time.

And now that it's happened, you'll remember it for a much different reason.

Madonna says she's fine after she took a tumble while performing during Wednesday night's Brit Awards.

Madonna was sent tumbling Wednesday night when the show didn't go as planned and she was yanked down a small flight of stairs.

The 56-year-old singer says she's fine. The darn cape was just tied too tight.

Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine! ❤️#livingforlove A photo posted by Madonna (@madonna) on Feb 25, 2015 at 2:50pm PST
