Beyoncé’s much-anticipated concert at NRG Stadium in Houston was interrupted on Saturday, June 28, when a flying car malfunction occurred during her performance. The incident took place while she was performing the song “16 Carriages,” as a red Cadillac prop, which was suspended in the air, began to lean and showed signs of getting stuck.
As the situation unfolded, Beyoncé calmly communicated with her crew through her microphone, instructing them to stop. The audience responded positively, cheering as she remained suspended above the stage. Fortunately, after a short delay, the crew managed to lower the Cadillac safely back onto the stage.
Once back on solid ground, Beyoncé expressed her gratitude to the crowd for their patience and seamlessly improvised the remainder of the performance. The concert continued with resounding applause from thousands of fans who had traveled from near and far to attend the event.
The malfunction, the cause of which has not yet been determined, temporarily halted a high-energy show that was part of Beyoncé’s prominently featured “Cowboy Carter Tour.” This tour is particularly significant as it marks her return to Houston, the city where she grew up and has a large fan base.
Fans from various locations, including North Carolina and Mexico, converged on Houston for the concert, underscoring its importance within the tour. Leading up to the event, some fans explored local landmarks, including a large mural dedicated to Beyoncé in Third Ward, taking the opportunity to celebrate the concert and their admiration for the artist.
The excitement in the crowd was palpable, with fans donning themed outfits that included sequins and cowboy hats, in homage to the concert’s theme. These displays of enthusiasm further contributed to the vibrant atmosphere of the event.
Beyoncé’s concert in Houston was set to continue with an additional performance the following night, allowing fans another chance to experience the show. With overwhelming support from attendees, the incident served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of live performances, but it ultimately won’t detract from the excitement surrounding the tour.
