As breathtaking as Pink‘s “Glitter in the Air” performance was at last night’s Grammys, the number could have easily been more memorable.

Although the trapeze-esque act was something she had performed numerous times during her Funhouse tour, the awards show version incorporated a new element: lights.

“When I do it [on tour], I don’t have lights above me,” she said of the spectacle. “Tonight, there were lights above me, so it almost went into a strobe thing, and I actually did get a little turned around.”

And while any reasonable person would have been made dizzy by the spins that closed the number (with or without the lights), Pink - who was wearing high heels at the time - managed to stay on her feet. “I thought … I was going to fall on my nude butt,” she admitted. “But I worked it out.”

Yes, you did—and it was beautiful.
