Celine Dion's Parisian residency has already been a big hit, and then some!
The Canadian songstress, 58, is in the midst of a highly successful and highly anticipated run of shows in Paris as part of her comeback.
However, the show has also generated several viral moments, from the singer's continually impressive vocals to her emotional speeches to the crowd, to the latest moment, an on-stage fall.
Videos circulating on social media captured Celine slipping and falling while performing her 1998 song "Dans un autre monde," hopping on the stage with one foot in the air with her pants getting caught on one of her heels.
However, she quickly brushed it off, getting back up and flashing a thumbs-up to the crowd to signal she was okay, and kept on singing. And it's safe to say, fans were mighty impressed.
"Canadians know how to fall elegantly. It comes from growing up in the snow!" one quipped, with another saying: "It was fire tho! She's sure with her crazy heels on though, but we were scared," and a third expressing some concern, adding: "It's dangerous. She can sprain her ankle anything can happen."
Fellow Canadian star Deborah Cox, who even starred in the Celine jukebox musical Titanique, reacted to a clip of the moment with praise for Celine too, commenting: "Get back [up] agaiiiin. Unstoppable!!! Go Céline!!!"
Addressing the 30,000 fans in the crowd on opening night of the residency on September 12, the singer was filmed saying: "I made a promise… I made a promise to come back and to be back on stage."
"Here I am singing for you, and singing for me. Thank you so very much for your support, your patience. I am everything I am because you love me. The path was rocky, the road was longer than planned, but I held on."
Tickets for Celine's three-week residency this fall at the Plenitude Arena (formerly the La Defense Arena) sold out instantly, to the point that she added more dates in May 2027 due to high demand.
"It's been so long, I would like to offer them something to show how I've missed them," she told Harper's Bazaar a few weeks before her first show. Celine first announced the shows on her 58th birthday as "the best birthday gift of my life."
When asked what she thinks is the reason why her fans find themselves so drawn to her, she mused: "It's got to be because I'm an open book. I'm honest, and it's not always pretty."
"Sometimes it's happy things, sometimes it's sad, but it's called life," she continued. "Instead of questioning life, can you live life? So I'm living my life, girl. I'm living the life."
Celine's residency will conclude its first leg on October 17 after 16 total shows, returning on 8 May, 2027 for another run of shows until the end of the month.
