The pop singer Nastya Krainova spoke about her most awkward moment on the Fifth Channel during a candid interview. The moment became memorable for many fans, because it happened on a large stage with thousands of listeners present.

During a concert in Yekaterinburg, Krainova faced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction when her tights tore and began to slip while she was performing. The show drew a crowd of about six thousand people, and the moment quickly turned into a test of composure on stage. Krainova recalled that the tights ripped and gradually slid, creating a chaotic scene. She tried to ride it out, holding the outfit in place as best as she could. The singer described feeling a mix of disbelief and amusement, almost needing to pretend nothing was happening while the audience watched with anticipation. She later described the sensation as something like wearing socks on her legs while trying to sing and connect with the crowd on camera. (attribution: Fifth Channel)

The concert was relatively brief by standard standards, lasting about thirty minutes. Krainova noted that no one in the audience seemed to notice her momentary embarrassment, yet the incident left a strong, personal impression. She admitted that she felt a surge of heat and self-consciousness, wondering how she would get through the rest of the performance without drawing more attention to the mishap.

In recounting the episode, she joked about the surreal feeling it created in that moment, as if the stage had become a kind of mockingly loud workplace where every little slip could be magnified. She remembered thinking to herself that this is not the kind of moment you want to be remembered for, but she chose to stay professional and complete the show with grace.

Nastya Krainova’s rise to public attention began after she took part in the third season of Star Factory, a program that helped launch several music careers. After the project, she joined the Tootsie group and performed alongside fellow artists such as Irina Ortman, Masha Weber, and Lesya Yaroslavskaya. The collaboration marked a formative period in her career, providing valuable stage experience and a broader fan base. (attribution: Star Factory records)

In 2010, Krainova departed from the group to pursue a solo path. She released her first solo album, Gift, in 2014, signaling a new chapter with original material and a distinct artistic identity. The shift toward solo artistry allowed her to experiment with different sounds and concert formats, gradually building a personal brand in the music scene. (attribution: Artist catalog notes)
