However, the 22-year-old singer fell victim to her towering high heels while grabbing the microphone at the end of her performance, taking a tumble that ended in her landing flat on her back. Host Jimmy Fallon, ever the gentleman, tried to make [Trainor](http://time.com/3468983/meghan-trainor-all-about-that-bass/) feel at ease by joining her on the floor—turning the fall into a light-hearted joke. He also reassured the singer: “Of every single dance move, grabbing the mic is the toughest,” Fallon said. “Standing ovation for Meghan Trainor, everybody!” Watch the full performance below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4329243/meghan-trainor-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-fall/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4329243/meghan-trainor-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-fall/"},"headline":"Meghan Trainor Takes a Tumble During Her The Tonight Show Appearance","datePublished":"2016-05-13T14:45:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:24.549Z","description":"But Jimmy Fallon has a hilarious solution","url":"https://time.com/4329243/meghan-trainor-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-fall/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","jimmy fallon","meghan trainor"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt113f8bb4d1b1d76c/698893115f570fafecb20e9d/meghan-trainor-fallon-fall.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt113f8bb4d1b1d76c/698893115f570fafecb20e9d/meghan-trainor-fallon-fall.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","caption":"Musical guest Meghan Trainor performs on 'The Tonight Show' May 12, 2016.","creditText":"Andrew Lipovsky—NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4329243/meghan-trainor-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-fall/","name":"Meghan Trainor Takes a Tumble During Her The Tonight Show Appearance"}}]}] ```
