She loves to bust a dance move or two while performing her catchy singles.

But her high-energy routine proved to be too much for Meghan Trainor to handle as she took a dramatic tumble on America's The Jimmy Fallon Show on Thursday night.

The 22-year-old, who dressed up to the nines to perform her new track Me Too, twisted her ankle as she turned around to reach for the mic in her skyscraper heels, leaving her flat on the floor.

The insanely high element of her metallic silver heels caused her to trip up awkwardly two times, before taking the mic stand down with her.

While most performers would jump to their feet and act like nothing had happened, The Lips Are Movin' singer lay on her back with her arms sprawled out for more than a couple seconds. 

This prompted the show's host Jimmy to sneak in from the sidelines to lay on the floor with her.

The duo engaged in brief jokey chatter where Meghan looked visibly embarrassed before he gave her a helping hand.

Despite the awkward gaffe, she looked a vision in a heavily sparkled figure-hugging dress that fell to her knees and plunged down the centre to show off her cleavage.

Her newly chocolate brown tresses were blow-dried and curled to perfection whilst her make-up was the epitome of glamour. 

As soon as she was done on stage, she took to Instagram to laugh off the incident and applauded her ability to carry on the show without any other mishaps. 

'Might have fell down... but I KILLLED that s*** hahaha #keepinitreal thank you @fallontonight for having me❤️ #metoo,' she mentioned, before being inundated by amused comments from her 4.6million followers. 

On follower supported her by saying: 'Loved it... it was pretty funny,' while others weren't too sure about the authenticity of the tumble.

'I thought that was a fake fall,' one viewer stated.

The lighthearted turn of events comes as something of a respite for Meghan, who has recently been at the centre of a controvers.

She admitted earlier this week that she gave the video for her new single Me Too the OK before realising that her body had been Photoshopped.

Meghan now takes full responsibility for the fall-out and in an interview with ET mentioned: 'We didn't have a lot of time for this video and we had to wrap it around pretty quick. 

'They had like a day to get beauty and colour done.'

She also revealed that she had approved the music video after watching it briefly, and only noticed her digitally altered waist after it had been released. A revised version of the clip has now been released. 

Spewing confidence, the Grammy winner later took to Snapchat to talk about the photo-shop incident.

'My waist is not that teeny, I had a bomb waist that night, I don't know why they didn't like my waist, but I didn't approve that video and it went out for the world, so I'm embarrassed.' 

'Unrealistic': The singer wasn't happy when she realised she had been heavily Photoshopped (L) and has since released a new version (R), but says she takes 'full blame' for the error
