A few minutes before she graced the stage at the Indy 500, Kelly Clarkson nearly took a tumble.

While crossing a red carpet at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Clarkson tripped, much to fans' surprise. However, Clarkson caught herself, avoiding a major catastrophe.

After catching her self, the Voice coach raised both her hands up in the air triumphantly and curtsying, much to fans' delights.

Clarkson herself acknowledged the snafu on her own Twitter account, laughing off the moment and blaming an imaginary crack for the slip-up.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 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! #Indy500 https://t.co/ukYBf0acZQ

#Indianapolis500 Thank you @kellyclarkson for your beautiful voice singing our National Anthem. You didn't try to " put your own spin on it" and "make it your own" like so many others. You stood and proudly sang it as it should be. God bless.
