Madonna's backup dancer and an onstage Santa Claus during her Tuesday Celebration tour in Washington DC went down.
The person dressed as Santa Claus sat on a chair in the center of the stage while Madonna performed nearby.
The 65-year-old singer sat briefly on the edge of a second chair next to Santa before standing up and holding up signs.
A backup dancer sat on Santa's lap – and the two quickly fell out of the chair, as Madonna looked shocked.
Both the dancer and the other backup dancers continued to dance after the fall while Santa gathered.

The embarrassing moment comes just days after Madonna revealed she was left in a coma for 48 hours while in hospital with a bacterial infection.
The star opened up about her June 2023 health scare on Saturday while on stage during her Celebration tour stop in Brooklyn, New York City.
She said she was admitted to intensive care due to lung and kidney failure.
Addressing the crowd, Madonna personally called out to her friend Shavawn, “There are some very important people in the room tonight who were with me at the hospital. There is a very important woman who dragged me to the hospital.
'I don't even remember; I passed out on the bathroom floor and woke up in the intensive care unit… I was in a medically induced coma for 48 hours. She saved my life. Thanks Shavawn.”

Madonna, who has followed Kabbalah – a mystical offshoot of Judaism – since 1996 – then thanked her Kabbalah teacher, who was by her side in hospital, saying he was “the only voice I heard” while she was in a coma.
She revealed: 'The only voice I heard was his. I heard him say, 'Squeeze my hand.'
Madonna also thanked her children.
She is the mother of six children: Lourdes, 27, Rocco, 23, Mercy James, 17, twins Estere and Stella, 11.
By the way, when I first regained consciousness and saw my six wonderful children sitting around me, I almost had to die to get all my children in one room,” she said.
She was rushed to the intensive care unit and intubated after she was found slumped on the floor of her New York City apartment on June 24.
Doctors later told DailyMail.com that the entertainer looked worn, thin and exhausted in the days before she almost died from a bacterial infection.

Madonna was given an injection of the drug Narcan – often used to reverse suspected overdoses – to combat acute septic shock before being rushed to hospital, Radar Online reported.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.
These chemicals damage the body's own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure and death.
On July 10, she took to social media to break her silence about the ordeal.
