Falling House: 2017's answer to Left Shark.
As well as making not-so-subtle digs at Donald Trump and Theresa May last night, Katy Perry's BRIT Award performance had even more special guests.
Her dance team was composed of dozens of people dressed as houses.
Of course @katyperry brings dancing houses and giant skeletons! #BRITs #KatyPerryBRITS pic.twitter.com/gyF46YAArP

But one house stood out a little more than the others.
Well, "stood" is the wrong word. They fell off the stage mid-dance.

We should clarify that, although still unidentified, the dancer is reportedly doing okay post-fall.
It was instantly meme-worthy.

And plenty of people are convinced Katy Perry's iconic Super Bowl dancer Left Shark was hiding inside the house.

And tired online journos everywhere had an existential crisis.
My grandson: "What did you report when Trump was president?"

Me: "Whether a house that fell off stage during a Katy Perry song was OK."
But pretty much everyone was like "same".

You can always rely on Katy Perry for a good dancer-related meme.
