Looking at the words “Prince is dead” is a traumatizing experience. It could maybe be less traumatizing if we remember all the wonderful moments The Purple One gave us, even when he wasn’t performing. Like that time Prince kicked Kim Kardashian–who, even back then, was famous for reasons unbeknownst to many; Prince was likely one of #many–off his stage.
To Kim’s credit, she happened upon the stage because Prince pulled her up onto it, and she quickly tweeted about the once-in-a-lifetime experience excitedly.
OMG Prince just pulled me up on stage!!! I’m shaking!!!!

However, Kim’s dance moves weren’t up to par, and she was promptly asked to remove herself. Luckily for her, Prince gave Kim an opportunity to redeem herself, which she apparently did.
Went up on stage AGAIN! This time I redeemed myself! We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night! — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 8, 2011
Getting kicked off the stage at one of the world’s most famous arenas can be tough. Getting kicked off the stage at one of the world’s most famous arenas by Prince, though, can be one of the most graceful experiences of your life. Congrats, Kim.
