Beyoncé had a horrifying moment during her concert in her hometown of Houston, Texas on Saturday night.
The red convertible she rides high above the crowd during her performance of 16 Carriages tilted dangerously, threatening to throw the Cowboy Carter artist off the car and into the audience.
Still, Beyoncé returned to the main stage and finished the performance like the consummate professional she is
After the show, Beyoncé’s team released a statement addressing the incident.
‘Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt.
‘She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,’ Parkwood Entertainment said.
As the car began to tilt, the Single Ladies singer, 43, shouted to her crew to stop.
‘Stop,’ Beyonce said sternly. ‘Stop, stop, stop,’ she commanded, concern evident in her voice. The crowd grew quiet before they erupted into a mixture of yelling and cheering.
The vehicle, which was attached to various cables, was slowly and safely brought back down to the stage.
Despite the terrifying stakes, Beyonce appeared calm while in the car.
It’s unclear what exactly occurred but according to various social media accounts, her car began to tilt in the air. According to the Houston Chronicle, her car had stopped moving midair.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, Beyoncé left the stage floor briefly after her car was properly lowered to the ground before coming back to wrap up the performance.
The songstress, now safely on stage, then resumed performing her song and thanked her fans with a heartfelt message.
‘I wanna thank y’all,’ she told the audience, adding, ‘for loving me.’
‘If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me,’ she said.
The incident, which occurred in her hometown of Houston, is not the first time she has suffered from a mechanical issue during her Cowboy Carter tour.
In May, the songstress was captured in fan video on the final show of her five-night run in Los Angeles as a robot on stage failed to hit its mark.
During one section of the concert at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, Beyoncé took a break to sit on a large gold throne as a robotic arm that wouldn’t have been out of place in a factory attempted to pour a bottle of liquor into her glass on one of the throne’s arms.
But the robot upended the bottle just an inch or two away from the drink, and instead poured the liquid all over the golden chair she was sitting in.
Beyoncé was supposed to follow up the over-the-top display by taking a sip of her drink and grabbing a remote control on the other arm rest as if to turn on the TV before vegging out.
But the Texas Hold ‘Em singer looked surprised and embarrassed as she briefly picked up her glass and realized that it was empty.
Her mouth started to curl into a smile as she quickly returned the empty glass to its spot on her arm rest.
But Beyoncé managed to tamp down her smile and continued with the act as she picked up the remote and flicked it as if to turn on a television.
The Cowboy Carter Tour, officially titled Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour, is Beyonce’s ongoing concert tour in support of her album Cowboy Carter.
It’s an all-stadium tour, featuring 32 stadium shows in the U.S. and Europe.
The tour began on April 28, 2025, in Inglewood, California, and is scheduled to conclude on July 26, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada
