That was a super close one Ariana Grande!

Just a few weeks after dodging a Victoria’s Secret model on the runway, the 21-year-old singer nearly tripped during her highly anticipated performance at Z100’s Jingle Ball Friday night.

While performing “Love Me Harder” at the sold-out concert, the 2015 Grammy-nominee had a little trouble with her footing while walking to the center of the stage. “Woooo Girl, I almost died up here,” she told the crowd in her reindeer ears after making a misstep. (Skip to the 8:00 mark on YouTube and watch for yourself)

As a true professional, Grande hardly missed a beat and continued her set that featured “Problem,” “Break Free” and “Santa Baby.”

“show tonight was so much fun & i loved getting to meet so many of y’all! thank u & love u,” she tweeted. “love & appreciation to z100 #Z100JingleBall #nyc.”

Taylor Swift, 5 Seconds of Summer, Iggy Azalea and Maroon 5 were just some of the other Top 40 artists on-hand to perform at the annual concert.

In recent weeks, Grande hasn’t been a stranger to delivering some memorable performances. At Los Angeles’ KIISFM Jingle Ball, the singer turned up the heat when she joined boyfriend Big Sean to perform “Best Mistake.”
