AP ImagesMadonna took a tumble, Kim Kardashian took an onstage selfie and Taylor Swift, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran all took home statuettes at the 2015 Brit Awards in London on Wednesday.
The show, which honors the best in British music, was hosted by comedy duo Ant & Dec and aired live on the U.K.'s ITV channel and on YouTube.
Check out 5 breakout moments from the ceremony.
1. Ouch!
Madonna took a serious tumble while performing her new pop song "Living for Love." She lost her balance and fell backwards down a short flight of steps while her dancers attempted to remove her dark cape and recovered after several seconds to finish the performance.
NEVER. GIVE. UP!
The Queen of Pop shows us how the show ALWAYS go on!

Wearing a daring black outfit, Kardashian took a selfie on stage with Ant & Dec while onstage. She presented the Global Success Brit Award to "the one and only Sam Smith."
3. Sam Smith takes the stage...and where are his Grammys?!
During the show, Smith, known for his ballad "Stay With Me," won two awards and also gave yet another haunting, moving performance, this time of his debut single, "Lay Me Down." He also revealed that he has not yet received the four Grammys he won earlier this month.
"It takes like a month to send them, which is annoying," he said.
