A Midair Mishap in Houston
Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour had a scary moment at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston on Saturday night, June 28, 2025, when a major stage prop malfunctioned. During the show, the large, silver convertible car that carries the superstar over the crowd while suspended in the air suddenly tilted at a precarious angle and appeared to get stuck.
As the prop faltered, Beyoncé could be heard calmly instructing her crew over the microphone, “Stop, stop, stop.” Secured by a safety harness, the singer held onto a cable while her team worked to resolve the issue.
A Poised and Professional Recovery
The crew was able to quickly and safely lower the malfunctioning car back down to the main stage. After a brief exit, Beyoncé triumphantly returned to continue her performance, finishing the concert without further incident. Her professionalism and calm demeanor under pressure drew praise from fans and media outlets.
After the mishap, she took a moment to address her hometown crowd. “I want to thank y’all for loving me,” she said, according to CBS News. “If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”
Not the First Glitch
This is the second minor technical issue to occur on the massive “Cowboy Carter” world tour. During a previous stop in London, a large, silver horse prop she rides named “Reneigh” had a technical issue that delayed its exit from the stage.
Following the Houston incident, Beyoncé’s production company, Parkwood Entertainment, released a statement confirming the “technical mishap.” As reported by Page Six, the company assured fans, “She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.” The incident has only served to highlight the star’s resilience and her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace.
