LONDON -- It was a mostly snooze-worthy Brit Awards Wednesday night, until the last two minutes when Madonna fell dramatically, waking everyone back up from the humdrum event.
Falling backwards down a flight of stairs after a dancer pulled a cape that she hadn’t managed to untie, the material girl ended up on the ground, and the Internet started delivering.
#MadonnaAtTheBrits, #shefellover and #nocapes were still trending Thursday morning. Let's hope the Brit organisers send her a big bunch of flowers -- she deserves them.
Here's the best of the Internet's reaction:

Dear Madonna. This is how to wear a cape without falling over. Regards, The Queen. #MadgeDown pic.twitter.com/zkp41CtwuQ— Elizabeth Windsor (@Queen_UK) February 26, 2015

Madonna flies off two steps, lands hard and gets back up almost immediately. Dozens of Premiership kickballers look on in confusion.— Woodo (@woodo79) February 25, 2015
