Smith, who had complained of severe migraines prior to the incident, was removed from the stage in a wheelchair.
A statement from the theatre read: “She] felt dizzy on stage during today’s performance.
“She is being monitored by top doctors and staff.”
Despite the concern for her welfare, Smith returned to the stage to perform her hit Because the Night.
The theatre described it as “a very memorable moment for everyone present.”
Smith is due to return to the same venue tonight for another performance with Soundwalk Collective.
