This phenomenon was all too apparent during her Sunday [_Reputation_](http://time.com/money/5269294/taylor-swift-reputation-tour-cheap-tickets/)show at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium when the rainy weather caused her to fall on stage. In the midst of performing “Call It What You Want,” Swift was caught on camera taking a tumble. However, she quickly bounced back up before playfully pushing one of her dancers away, turning the slip-up into a relatable moment. “I HAVE NEVER RELATED TO [@taylorswift13](https://twitter.com/taylorswift13) MORE THAN THE MOMENT SHE TRIPPED AND FELL TO THE GROUND,” one fan enthused on Twitter. “MY QUEEN.
