AceShowbiz - Kelly Clarkson has joked about almost almost hitting the deck while walking the red carpet at the Indy 500 on Sunday, May 26.
The "Stronger" hitmaker, 37, was captured in a video posted by a fan on Twitter as she tripped in her towering platforms and almost fell on the ground.
The embarrassed singer quickly recovered and raised her hands while doing a quick bow like "Saturday Night Live"'s Mary Katherine Gallagher character.
Clarkson later shared the video, captioning it with four laughing crying emojis and writing, "best part of my day is always revealing to people that might not know how utterly not cool I am. That damn crack was hidden by the carpet man!".
Fans rallied around her praising her for her quick recovery.
One wrote: "Graceful recovery @kellyclarkson day is made that I got to see you!!!!".
Another responded, "But not owning your coolness makes you super cool! Just thought you should know!".
"You'll have to show Jennifer Lawrence how it's done," wisecracked another, referencing "The Hunger Games" star's infamous trip at the 2013 Oscars, while a few shared gifs of Sandra Bullock's "Miss Congeniality" character similarly losing her footing.
The "American Idol" winner later gave a perfect rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner before the start of the 2019 Indianapolis 500.
Honorary starters Matt Damon and Christian Bale got the motor race underway, which was won by Simon Pagenaud to lift the Borg-Warner trophy.
