Beyoncé Handles Scary Stage Malfunction Mid-Air During Houston Cowboy Carter Show; Here's What Happened
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour hit a tense moment during her first of two shows in her hometown of Houston on Saturday, June 28. The Texas Hold 'Em singer was performing at NRG Stadium when a suspended car prop she was sitting on started tilting unexpectedly mid-song.
While performing 16 Carriages, Beyoncé was seated on top of a red convertible that was lifted above her fans. A video shared on TikTok shows the car suddenly slanting at a sharp angle. Beyoncé, who appeared secured with a harness, held onto a cable attached to the car as it tipped.
'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' Beyoncé calmly told her crew through her microphone as the music cut off. Looking down at the crowd and then back up, she managed a smile as fans cheered to show support.
Here's how Beyoncé handled it
The Grammy winner didn't panic despite being stuck above the stadium. She thanked the audience, saying, 'Thank y'all for your patience.' The car was then carefully lowered to the ground. As the vehicle neared the stage, it steadied, and Beyoncé shifted back to her original seated spot, still smiling as the stage lights dimmed.
A fan who shared the clip on TikTok wrote, 'Omg she scared me. So glad she's safe and nothing happened!! SOMEBODY GETTING FIRREDDDD,' referencing her famous quote from her I Am World Tour in 2010.
What caused the malfunction?
According to the Houston Chronicle, the car prop stopped working halfway through the song. Once she was safely back on the ground, Beyoncé briefly left the stage before returning to continue her set.
A video posted on X showed her addressing the crowd afterward. 'If ever I fall, I know y'all would catch me,' she said, getting loud cheers in response.
Despite the scare, the Cowboy Carter tour continued without further issues. Fans praised Beyoncé for handling the moment so gracefully and thanked the crew for ensuring her safety.

Beyoncé halts Cowboy Carter show at Houston midair as floating car tilts during ‘16 Carriages' performance
A dramatic moment during Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour concert in Houston on Saturday night sent waves of concern through the packed NRG Stadium, as a mid-performance stunt malfunctioned midair. The global superstar was performing '16 Carriages' while seated in a suspended, velvet-wrapped red Cadillac when the vehicle began to tilt dangerously as it hovered above the crowd. Fan-captured footage of the incident shows the car slowly tipping sideways as it turned over one section of the stadium. Mid-song, Beyoncé is heard calling out, 'Stop, stop, stop,' as the vehicle's instability became apparent. The stunt, intended to give fans an intimate, overhead view while a montage of her career played on the big screen, had been executed without issue in previous shows. Swift action was taken by her team as stage and security personnel rushed to lower the Cadillac safely and help unbuckle the singer. Cheers of relief rang out from the audience as Beyoncé was carefully escorted back to the stage. Once safely on solid ground, Beyoncé seamlessly resumed her set. 'I know if I fall, y'all will catch me,' she told the roaring crowd, reaffirming the strong bond she shares with her hometown fans. Her company, Parkwood Entertainment, released a statement hours after the show, describing the event as a 'technical mishap.' No injuries were reported, and the remainder of the show proceeded without further incident. The Houston performance was one of the final stops of her critically acclaimed tour, which celebrates her 2025 Album of the Year win. Beyoncé is slated to return for a second Houston show on Sunday, followed by a Fourth of July performance in Washington, D.C. The Cowboy Carter Tour is set to conclude on July 26 in Las Vegas.
