Beyonce scares fans with major flying car prop malfunction
Beyonce faced a horrifying moment during her hometown concert in Houston on Saturday night.
The singer was catapulted into the air in a red convertible as a part of her performance of country hit 16 Carriages.
The vehicle was intended to make its way around the venue to allow the legions of fans who attended the show to get a closer look at the star, but the car began leaning to one side and came to a complete stop.
After the first verse of the song, Beyonce was heard yelling 'stop' multiple times as the car continued to lean.
Crew members rushed over and lowered the car to the ground, safely removing the singer.
The star continued the concert as planned, taking a moment to joke to attendees afterwards that she 'knew y'all would catch (her) if (she) fell'.
After the show, Beyonce's team Parkwood Entertainment released a statement addressing the incident. Beyonce's tesam Parkwood Entertainment issued a statement on Instagram following the concert. Credit: Instagram
'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,' the statement said.
'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.'
Fans quickly took to social media to express their concerns for the Cowboy Carter singer.
'We were all scared for her and the many people that could've been lost or seriously injured,' one concertgoer posted.
'Her ability to smile through the chaos and still continue the performance as if she didn't just experience a scare is truly remarkable, she is a gem,' another fan said of the incident.
'Hope Beyonce takes proper precautions from now on,' a third fan posted.
Beyonce has eight shows left of her Cowboy Carter tour, which wraps up in Las Vegas in July.

Rosie O'Donnell eviscerates Jeff Bezos and ‘fake fembot' Lauren Sánchez for gluttonous $76 million wedding: ‘Sold his soul'
Rosie O'Donnell tore apart Jeff Bezos and his 'fake fembot wife,' Lauren Sánchez, for their over-the-top $50 million ($76 million AUD) wedding in Venice, Italy. 'The BEZOS wedding,' the comedian wrote via Instagram Monday, along with alleged photos of the former journalist's appearance before and after cosmetic work. O'Donnell called out the 'billionaires' who gathered for the nuptials 'in the gross excess of it all' — adding that it 'turned [her] stomach.' 'Is Oprah friends with Jeff Besos [sic] really — how is that possible,' the 'View' alum, 63, continued. O'Donnell claimed the Amazon founder 'treats his employees with disdain' and that 'by any metric he is not a nice man.' She then called out Sánchez, saying, 'And his fake fem bot [sic] wife who looks like that. Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie.' The 'League of Their Own' star was referring to Bezos' first wife, MacKenzie Scott, whom he was married to from 1993 to 2019. 'Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests,' O'Donnell concluded. Reps for Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, were not immediately available to Page Six for comment. Social media users in O'Donnell's comments section were divided over her harsh commentary about the newlyweds. 'We've lost touch completely. With what's real, with what matters, with each other,' one person agreed. 'All those members of the arts … it's disappointing, really,' another added. 'I was shocked to see Leonardo DiCaprio there … Mr Climate change himself partying with one of the most destroyed people on the planet,' a third chimed in. But Robin Thicke's wife, April Love Geary, was one of many to chide O'Donnell, writing, 'I'm not a fan of them — but I don't think it's a good look to make fun of other people's appearances. 'I'm all for disliking people because of how they treat others/etc but it is sad to see women post overly edited pictures of women and talk poorly about their appearances so publicly.' 'Can't we just stick to talking about how Bezos treats his employees terribly? Why do we have to tear women's looks apart on social media,' Geary continued. 'This is called bullying … so sad … it's sad to see women bullying other women,' another person echoed. Bezos and Sánchez were also shaded by Charlize Theron, who said 'they suck' while speaking at a charity event over the weekend. The couple invited A-list guests, including the Kardashians, Orlando Bloom and Sydney Sweeney, to their extravagant three-day wedding celebration, which began with a welcome party on Thursday evening. They then tied the knot on San Giorgio Maggiore island Friday and hosted a pajama-themed party the following night. The weekend came to a close as several celebrities were spotted leaving for the airport on Sunday.

Beyonce left dangling in the air mid concert as car prop malfunctions
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. Beyoncé was left dangling midair in a car while performing during the first Houston Cowboy Carter tour stop. On Saturday, the US singer was catapulted into the air in a red car for the performance of her country hit 16 Carriages. While the vehicle was supposed to make its way around the venue so fans who don't have floor seats could get a closer look at Beyoncé, the car began leaning to one side and came to a complete stop. After finishing the first verse of the song, the mother-of-three yelled, 'Stop, stop, stop, stop' as she sat at a standstill above screaming fans below. Beyonce's car prop malfunctioned during her show. The singer had to be lowered to safety. After crew members rushed over, the red car was lowered to the ground and Beyoncé was safely removed. In true Beyoncé fashion, the pop star walked back over to the stage to finish belting out the song. After videos of the incident went viral, her entertainment company, Parkwood, took to Instagram to explain what happened. 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt,' the statement read. 'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.' Beyonce is in Houston for the latest leg of her Cowboy Carter tour. Picture: Instagram Earlier this month, the Grammy winner effortlessly bounced a wardrobe malfunction while kicking off the London leg of her tour. While performing her 2022 hit I'm That Girl, Beyoncé's metallic fringed chaps fell to the floor mid-dance move. However, the singer handled it like a pro and slowly slid down to the floor during a music break to pick them back up. One of her backup dancers then assisted in helping secure the pants so the show could go on. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour continues for a second night in her hometown on Sunday.
