Beyoncé’s Flying Car Suffers Technical Malfunction at Houston “Cowboy Carter Tour” Stop

Beyoncé suffered from a technical malfunction involving a flying prop car at the first Houston concert of the “Cowboy Carter Tour” on Saturday. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.

Midway through “16 Carriages,” the penultimate song of the tour’s massive setlist, Beyoncé rode above the crowd in a red car suspended over the stage. At one point, the car stopped moving and tilted sharply on a diagonal. Harnessed to the vehicle, Knowles-Carter abruptly stopped the performance while stage crew worked to bring her safely back to the ground.

Over cheers from the crowd, she was safely removed from the car and returned to the main stage to finish out the night. “I wanna thank y’all for loving me,” she told her hometown crowd. “If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”

Per a subsequent statement released by her company Parkwood Entertainment, “A technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show was continued without incident.”
