Beyoncé halts concert after being left dangling from car mid-air
Beyoncé faced a terrifying stunt malfunction on stage when a car she was suspended in started to tilt. In April the US superstar, 43, kicked off her Cowboy Carter world tour, which is scheduled to end on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada. After recently struggling to sell out her six shows in London during the UK leg of her tour, the singer has now faced a 'mishap' during a performance. On Saturday night's show in Houston, Texas she was performing her song 16 Carriages in a car suspended above concertgoers at NRG Stadium. However, in videos captured by those in the crowd, the prop then began to tilt mid-air. The unsettling moment was shared on social media, with Beyoncé seen sitting on top of the red convertible as it begins to slant at a sharp angle while in the air. Beyoncé was safely lowered after her flying car unexpectedly tilted mid-air at the Cowboy Carter tour in Houston while performing '16 CARRIAGES.' — Pop Base (@PopBase) June 29, 2025 'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' she said into the microphone as the music cut out. Some in the crowd also began screaming. Remaining suspended in the air, she looked at the ground and up again before smiling at the crowd as they cheered. The singer was wearing a harness and held onto one of the cables attached to the car as it tilted. After a few seconds, she then told them 'thank y'all for your patience', before the car was lowered into the centre of the stadium. As it got closer to the ground, it stopped tilting and she shuffled back to where she was originally seated on the top of the car before the lights were turned off. The moment left some fans unsettled, with many rushing to share their thoughts on social media. 'This was beyond terrifying. She literally had to stop singing and started shouting 'Stop. Stop stop',' user Lo posted on X. 'I think we were all scared for her and the many people that could've been seriously injured,' Romani shared. 'She was so nervous despite trying to put on a brave face and smiling through it for her worried fans,' TS added. Beyoncé addressed what happened when returning to stage, telling fans: 'If ever I fall, I know y'all would catch me.' After the show Beyoncé's production and management company, Parkwood, released a statement regarding the incident. '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,' it shared on Instagram. 'She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.' More Trending During previous tours Beyoncé has experienced other close calls with props. Earlier in her Cowboy Carter tour, a robot that was supposed to pour her a drink missed its mark. Meanwhile during her On The Run II tour with husband Jay-Z in 2018, a moving platform broke, forcing her to climb down a ladder -in heels and a sequined leotard. Got a story?
