Meghan Trainor's internationally-renowned bass brought her to the ground.

While performing on The Tonight Show, Trainor made an audacious spin Thursday -- with unfortunate consequences. She fell straight to the floor, and onto her back.

Though the audience was briefly worried for her safety (and street cred), Trainor quickly recovered and started laughing with Fallon, hoping to save her reputation. It's possible this was part of her act -- but what a grand social experiment it must've been. 

On Twitter, Trainor assured fans that she suffered "not a scratch."

Fear not, fans: her bass stays strong.
