Beyoncé Handles Flying Car Malfunction Mid-Air Like a Pro
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter show in Houston took a nerve-wracking turn on June 28. Midway through performing “16 Carriages,” she was perched on top of a red convertible, suspended above the crowd at NRG Stadium, when the car started tilting in mid-air.
Video from the night shows Beyoncé, harnessed in and hanging onto a cable, staying impressively calm as the car angled dangerously.
She cut the music herself, telling the crew, “Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,” into her mic. Just hanging there, she looked down, glanced back up, and—somehow—cracked a smile for the crowd as the cheers erupted.
For a few tense seconds, she stayed suspended before calmly thanking everyone for their patience. Eventually, the car was lowered, and she slid back to her spot, still managing to grin at her fans as the lights faded. Talk about keeping your cool.
After the incident, Beyoncé briefly left the stage but came back and finished her set. The exact reason for the malfunction isn’t clear yet. Later, addressing the crowd, she said, “If ever I fall, I know y’all would catch me,” and the stadium erupted.
Her team hasn’t commented on what went wrong, but honestly, the way she handled it? Total pro.
Fans online freaked out, obviously relieved nothing worse happened—some joked someone on the crew was definitely getting fired, quoting Beyoncé’s infamous line from her I Am World Tour.
