A footage of a woman accidentally setting her hair on fire while she was singing a Christmas carol with her pop star boyfriend has stunned the Internet. In a clip shared by the British origin singer-songwriter Sofia Ellar, the 27-year-old can be seen singing alongside her boyfriend Alvaro Soler, attired in a white jumpsuit. As she was engrossed humming melodies of the festivities, sitting in front of the Christmas decoration and candlelight in the background at a venue in Madrid, the singer's hair settled on the candle and caught fire. Shocked and panicked, the Indie artist started to douse the flames in her hair, rendering those watching at loss for words. 

The clip, which the internet users called another mishap from the year 2020, was being recorded as the duo was singing the Christmas song ‘Feliz Navidad’ to entertain those celebrating. The London born singer sings the track in-depth, acing the moment, oblivious about the two lit candles behind her as she casually leans her back. In no time, her hair catches the blazes. The singer immediately halts the song and springs out of her chair, dropping the champagne glass in the process. Her boyfriend jumps from his seat to assist her, bewildered, as the woman dashes out of the frame.  "2019, we were good. 2020, we light fires and drop glasses. Hello 2021,” the British origin singer wrote in the caption of the post.
