Madonna said she was "fine" after she fell during her performance at Wednesday's Brit Awards, but in a subsequent interview with "The Jonathan Ross Show" on England's ITV she confirmed that she was injured after the tumble.
"I didn't hurt my butt, I hurt my head," she said during Thursday's taping of the show, according to People.
"It was a horrible nightmare, because I like to be amazing," she added, according to People. "Seriously, I rehearse and I rehearse and I rehearse, so that when I do the show it's effortless and I create magic, and I did the opposite. I actually created a horror show for everyone."
People noted that some viewers thought The Material Girl's accident was a stunt tied in with the lyrics to "Living For Love," which include: "Took me to heaven and let me fall down/ Lifted me up and watched me stumble." She joked about that theory when asked about it on "The Jonathan Ross Show."
"I'm never writing lyrics like that again! The universe was trying to teach me a lesson, I guess," Madonna said, People reported.
