Shania Twain took a bit of a tumble during her concert in Chicago over the weekend.

The country music icon was performing her hit song Don’t Be Stupid at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in the Tinley Park neighbourhood when she accidentally tripped and fell, Page Six reports.

Video obtained by TMZ showed Twain, 57, walking across the stage when she fell to the floor and landed on her butt.

The singer, who was rocking a mauve dress and matching knee-high boots, quickly jumped back up and finished the song without a hitch.

An eyewitness told the outlet that she “did not look injured at all”.

In fact, the crowd “didn’t even react” when Twain took a tumble because she “seemed totally fine”.

The Man! I Feel Like A Woman! singer is currently on her Queen Of Me Tour, which makes its next stop in Bethel, Nw York on Monday night.

Earlier this year, the songstress also made headlines for speaking out in defence of her outfit at the 2023 CMT Awards.

She slammed critics who suggested she should “dress age appropriately” in an Instagram post at the time, writing that fun outfits are “a powerful tool” to express herself.

“For me fashion is a powerful tool that helps to convey my personality and express my creativity and other than getting to hang out with my friends for the night, it’s one of my favourite things about attending award shows!” she captioned her post.

“Life is too short to wear boring clothes!! [kissing emoji] Thank you to the team behind my @cmt #CMTAwards looks.”

The From This Moment On singer rocked a black cowboy hat, over-the-knee boots and a purple tweed set from Chanel featuring a crop top and tiny shorts to the awards show.

She then changed into a black-and-red Prabal Gurung gown, which she paired with towering black platform pumps.

This wasn’t the first time she defended herself against trolls, having previously said she doesn’t “need to hide behind clothes” after posing topless for her Waking Up Dreaming single artwork.

“This is a statement of being comfortable in my own skin and just being really myself,” she said at the time.
