Beyonce, whose Cowboy Carter tour arrived at the NRG Stadium in Houston last night, delighted fans as she kicked off with Ameriican Requiem followed by a cover of The Beatles classic Blackbird.
Yet in the final segment of proceedings, and after an appearance from her daughter Blue Ivy and the track Legacy playing out on tape, things turned sour.
During her performance of 16 Carriages, Bey hopped into a red car which was then suspended into the air.
She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side.

The If I Were A Boy vocalist then paused her lyrics to shout: "Stop. Stop, stop, stop."
The crowd paused in anticipation before bursting into cheers as the vehicle - attached to a series of cables - was brought down to solid ground.
Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: "I wanna thank y'all, for loving me.
"If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me."

The Sun has gone to Beyonce's reps for comment.
As the incident unfolded, fans expressed their fears on X.
Blue Ivy looks IDENTICAL to mom Beyonce as she arrives in Paris with dad Jay-Z
One wrote: "The fact that Beyoncé almost fell out that car suspended in the air…. Yo I would've lost my s**t!"
A second put: "I KNEWWWWW that car was gonna do some s**t one concert omg so happy she's okay tho."
A third mused: "Whoever messed up #beyonce car set up is getting fired from a CANNON."
Another remarked: "We could have lost @Beyonce tonight if that car that she was in would have fell on stage, thank god that she is safe."
One then pleaded: "BEYONCÉ! No More Car I Mean It."
Overall, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour has been a visual extravaganza for her fans, showcasing the star in an array of outfits, performing with her daughters and even grinding on a bull.
She has also floated over the crowds while perched in a moving horse shoe.
She is then expected to follow up the project - which kicked off in
Los Angeles
in April - with another album next year, after announcing that Renaissance and Cowboy Carter were part of a trilogy.
On her website in 2022, she confirmed: 'This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic.
'A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.'
TOUR TEASE
During Beyonce's Cowboy Carter UK tour dates, the star appeared to drop a huge clue she was considering re-locating.
It came as she was
allegedly seen viewing land in the
Cotswolds
countryside with rapper husband Jay-Z, 55.
Beyonce reportedly took a helicopter ride with her spouse, with whom she shares three kids, to get a better look at the Oxfordshire pile.
The land supposedly spanned 58 acres and a source told
"Located close to friends Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, and with Simon Cowell and the Beckhams as neighbours, she felt it would be an ideal UK home for her family, away from the city when they're in the country."

Dua Lipa review: Pop superstar delights Aviva, Dublin with moving tribute to Sinéad O'Connor
We are firmly in the era of strong women dominating pop as female alpha Dua Lipa further proved on Friday night in Dublin. Almost a year to the day since Taylor Swift brought her juggernaut billion-dollar Eras Tour to Ireland, Lipa brought her own flavour of girl pop back to the same venue, with breakout artist Alessi Rose and Disney Channel star-turned-singer Dove Cameron warming up the crowd before the main event began at 8.40pm. The latest stop on the Radical Optimism tour, and her last European date, saw the English and Albanian singer thrill a predominantly young audience, belting out hit after hit to devoted fans. Filling the stands and standing together were groups of girlfriends, mothers and daughters, sisters and sisterhoods — with a few sprinkling of boys and men throughout too for good measure. Gig was like a homecoming The streets around the Aviva felt like a homecoming, a continuation of last year's epic experience of girlhood on the same weekend for gig-goers. Pubs overflowed with pals toasting their drinks, friends shared takeaways pizzas, and sequins sparkled in the sun as fans found their way to their seats. If you think you don't know a Dua Lipa song, you're wrong. Opening with Training Season, upping the ante with One Kiss and Physical, and bring it back to the Barbie movie with Dance The Night before wrapping up on Houdini, the global superstar's catalogue of hits is as impressive as her showmanship. She arrived through a mist of smoke wearing a sparkly bodysuit with matching heeled boots and threw herself into each piece of slick choreography, never missing a beat. 'This is unreal. Dublin, you ready to go to the moon?' she asked to deafening cheers. She posed for selfies with fans at the barricade, asking their names, celebrating birthdays, and sharing hugs. One tearful fan told her he saw her Future Nostalgia tour in Dublin and it inspired him to become a dancer. Local flavour on each tour date The usual setlist features a surprise song section. Traditionally Lipa uses this slot to pay tribute to each city she plays in ( 360 by — and with — Charli XCX was her nod to London, for example, while fans in Liverpool enjoyed covers of Hey Jude by The Beatles and Valerie by The Zutons). The question on everybody's lips en route to the show was all about this section, if there would be a surprise guest, and who it could be. Having brought Charli XCX and Jamiroquai out on stage for her Wembley gigs, rumours were swirling ahead of her Dublin appearance. Dermot Kennedy? Niall Horan? Jedward? As it happened, it was better than we expected. She performed a tribute to iconic Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, who she described as an Irish legend. A touching rendition of the late star's anthem Nothing Compares 2 U was a poignant moment in the night as torchlights illuminated the night, a perfect touch for her Dublin date. 'Every night on this tour I sing a different song by a local artist,' she told the crowd. Tonight I am honoured to perform a song by a late Irish legend, Sinéad O'Connor. If you know the words, please sing along. And sing they did, in memory of a local legend lost too soon. • Lana Del Ray plays the Aviva Stadium on Monday night, continuing a trend of strong female headliners that other venues could learn from. Pop is popping off and we want more opportunities to dance the night away.

READ MORE IN TRAVEL GREAT PARK The Irish playground with swings, wobbly bridge and zipline just mins from beach FUN DAY The Irish playground perfect for cheap family day out minutes from popular beach To the west of the Victorian Walled Garden at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre is the universal access playground. Opened in 2008, it has been a huge success with kids of all ages. The playground is imaginatively themed and designed in a bright and attractive way. It features a variety of play units, and is also accessible for children with disabilities.

The EVOS multi-facility play unit is the first of its kind in the country, drawing tourists and locals alike. The best playground in Ireland with castle, natural vistas and windsurfing - and it's right next to the beach And the playground was a huge hit with Beyonce and Jay-Z in 2014. The famous couple brought their daughter Blue Ivy to play on the swings and slides while in the country for Beyonce's concerts. One onlooker said at the time: "They were dressed down and you had to look twice to see who it was." The playground is suitable for kids aged between 4 and 12. All children must be accompanied by an adult, while all adults must be with a child. The playground is open from 9.30am until one hour before sunset year-round, weather permitting. STAY HYDRATED There is also a free water filling station in the courtyard of the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre, allowing you and the kids to stay hydrated. The filling station was opened to avoid unnecessary single use plastic drinking bottles, encouraging people to bring a reusable bottle with them. There is another universal access playground at the People's Gardens, which is by the North Circular Road Gate entrance. This is also open from 9.30am until one hour before sunset year-round, weather permitting. The park has received rave reviews online, and it has a 4.5 star rating on Google. Taking to TripAdvisor, one person said: "Took a break from the adult sightseeing for the kids to let loose. The park was great to walk through and let them run. "The playground was well kept and plenty of seating." Another took to Google reviews to say: "Lovely playground, grandchildren love it, zip wire, lots to keep them entertained, very safe seating for parents/carers." Someone else said: "Nice park and fun playground for kids. Lots of activities in the park with a lake and a channel." Another wrote: "Lovely park, it has everything.
