Auli’i Cravalho, 16, was singing the Oscar-nominated song “How Far I’ll Go” from the animated Disney movie when she was bopped on the head by a flag-like, cloth stage prop.

Cravalho received plenty of praise on social media for maintaining her poise and delivering a flawless rendition of the song despite the gaffe.

She later tweeted out a photo of herself apparently giving thanks for getting through the song.
