The Italian music icon, however, proved her resilience, continuing to sing even while seated on the floor, treating the incident with humor and professionalism.
The moment was captured on video, showing the 50-year-old performer descending a set of stairs in a flowing gown and thigh-high boots during her concert at the Unipol Forum in Milan on November 28.

Pausini appeared to miss the top step, leading to a dramatic fall that ended with her landing squarely on her backside.
Undeterred, she turned to the audience with a sheepish smile and kept singing, earning cheers of support.
Dancers quickly rushed to help her back to her feet as the performance carried on seamlessly.
The stumble occurred during her rendition of the hit song “Zero.”
Pausini later addressed the incident with her fans, sharing updates on Instagram to her five million followers.
“Thank you all for the messages of concern after my fall on stage, but I’m fine,” she reassured in a post.
“Nothing happened to me, so much so that yesterday I did a new concert singing and dancing and jumping.
The tour continues in Europe now. I slipped, but nothing happened to me.”
In another post, the singer expressed heartfelt gratitude to her Milan audience for their unwavering support during the moment.
“You are Milan, you are the strength I don’t have when I’m afraid of not making it,” she wrote.
“Six nights, over 60,000 people, thank you.”
Pausini’s ongoing European tour next stops in Marseille, France, on December 3 before heading to Spain, where her fanbase remains especially strong.
With a career that spans over 30 years, Pausini is celebrated as one of Italy’s most successful and influential artists.
Her accolades include a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in 2006 and an Academy Award nomination in 2021 for the song “Lo Sì,” cementing her status as an international superstar.
