A different clip shows the immediate aftermath of the fall, with Gaga getting back to her feet and saying: "Everything's OK, everything's OK."
"Everything's fine. It's not your fault," Gaga said to the fan, embracing them as they both got back up on the stage. Offering the fan a seat at her piano, Gaga then teased: "I suppose we should have some tea after that, fuck."
Appearing to notice that the fan was blaming themself for the accident, Gaga went on: "Hey, can you promise me something? Would you just forgive yourself right now for that happening?"
Despite the fall looking like it could've had serious consequences, Gaga continued with the rest of the show, performing "A Million Reasons" with the fan sitting beside her.
Lady Gaga is a sweetheart and a fighter. She could have just cancelled the show, but instead, she got back up and continued to perform, and even got on stage with the same fan and made sure that no one will treat him badly for the incident. #ENIGMA
And, after finishing the song, Gaga said she wouldn't stand for people on the internet being mean to or blaming the fan for what had happened.
"And if anybody on the internet is mean to you tomorrow about this then I'm going to be very upset with each and every one of them." - Lady Gaga tonight at #ENIGMA moments after falling off stage with a fan
Another fan, who was in the audience during the performance, said that they "legitimately all thought [Gaga] was dead" as the fall looked so serious.
But, to fans' delight, Gaga was back on stage doing full choreography two songs later.
