Overview

  • During her Houston performance of “16 Carriages” at NRG Stadium, a suspended red convertible tilted sharply, prompting Beyoncé to call out “Stop, stop, stop” and pause the show.
  • Parkwood Entertainment said the malfunction was a technical glitch, assured that no one was injured and confirmed the concert resumed without further incident.
  • Beyoncé returned to the stage with a smile, joking “if I ever fall, I know y’all would catch me” before completing the set.
  • She later addressed the scare with humor on Instagram, sharing a montage from the show under the caption “Sittin’ Sidewayz.”
  • As a precaution, the flying car segment was dropped from her second Houston show; the Cowboy Carter Tour continues with performances in Washington, D.C., and a July 26 finale in Las Vegas.
