Beyonce Cheekily Responds To Car Prop Malfunction At Cowboy Carter Tour
Beyonce's recent car prop malfunction at the Cowboy Carter Tour proved why she reigns as the queen of the stage. The pop sensation met with an unexpected and tense moment when her red convertible prop suddenly slanted mid-air. Though the moment was perilous, Beyonce displayed her sense of humor on social media, quipping about the moment. Recently, Beyonce used the red car as a prop at her Cowboy Carter Tour, but what happened next was not on her agenda. While performing '16 Carriages' at Houston's NRG Stadium on Saturday, the global star used a red convertible as a prop. As such, she was suspended high above the crowd. The New York Times reported that the scene turned into a misadventure when the car unexpectedly slanted mid-air. It left Beyonce dangling over her fans in the convertible, almost inviting a catastrophe. However, she remained calm while commanding, 'Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop.' She called for the performance to pause while the crowd witnessed the scene with bated breath. The pop icon gripped a cable for support before the technical team promptly arrived for help. The car was finally lowered, letting fans take a sigh of relief. Beyonce responded to the mishap with her classic humor and poise. After she was safely back on stage, she reassured her fans, saying, 'If ever I fall, I know y'all would catch me.' She took to Instagram later, addressing the situation with a video featuring moments from the night. The singer playfully soundtracked the video to Paul Wall and Big Pokey's 'Sittin' Sidewayz.' Besides the Houston classic exhibiting her signature cool, she quipped, 'Sittin' Sidewayz,' in the caption. The 'Diva' hitmaker's management team, Parkwood Entertainment, suggested that the car 'tilted' due to a 'technical mishap.' They emphasized that she was 'quickly lowered and no one was injured,' and declined any further comments. With its elaborate stage productions, the Cowboy Carter Tour is making history, and the unexpected twist with the flying car added to the legend.

Beyoncé's flying car malfunctions mid-air at Cowboy Carter show
A frightening moment for Beyoncé during Saturday night's Cowboy Carter show at the singer's hometown of Houston, Texas. Towards the end of the show, the singer is suspended in the air in a flying Cadillac as she sings her hit '16 Carriages,' from the 2024 album 'Cowboy Carter.' The red car carries her around the stadium and allows fans in further seats to get an up-close look at the superstar. However, the apparatus carrying her and the car malfunctioned at NRG Stadium, leading to a very scary moment. The car began to slowly tilt and after a little while, it got too uncomfortable for the Queen Bey's liking. 'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' she calmly told her crew as fans gasped. As she was slowly lowered down, Beyoncé kept her cool and continued to smile. 'Thank you for your patience,' she told the crowd without breaking a sweat. She was lowered down to safety without incident and then later appeared back onstage. 'If ever I fall, I know y'all would catch me,' she explained to her fans known as the BeyHive. While the ordeal was frightening, Beyoncé managed to have a sense of humor about it all. Her social media team posted a carousel of photos on her Instagram page Saturday night, which included a snap of the tilted car. Being from Texas, her team paid homage to the region's car and hip-hop culture by making a video montage of the incident while Paul Wall's 'Sittin' Sidewayz' featuring Big Pokey played in the background. The caption appropriately said 'Sittin' Sidewayz.' During Sunday night's show in H-Town, fan social media accounts reported that the singer ditched the flying car and performed a shortened version of the song before going into the final song of the show, which is 'Amen.' Beyoncé's next show will take place on July 4 in Washington, D.C. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
