Talk about life imitating art.

"Fire Bomb" singer Rihanna was forced to end her performance earlier than scheduled on Friday night, after a small fire broke out during her show at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

So what caused the mini blaze?

While the exact source of the fire has yet to be determined, according to Dallas' CBS affiliate it may have been started from the concert's pyrotechnics. YouTube videos posted by concertgoers reveal what looks to be the lighting equipment above the stage aflame.

Rihanna quickly exited the platform before the fire broke out.

"DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I'm so pissed, I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!" the songbird tweeted following the incident.

Ri-Ri seemed determined to get to the bottom of the fiery fluke, though, later tweeting, "Heading into a production meeting to find out exactly what happened!!! Keep u posted #LOUDtourDALLAS".

Thankfully, there was no "Man Down," as no injuries were reported from the incident.
