‘This is beyond terrifying’: Beyoncé suffers scary malfunction – she was fearless, but her fans are worried

She believed her fans would save her.

A frightening incident occurred during Beyoncé’s concert in Houston, Texas, on Saturday night when a flying car prop malfunctioned while she was performing high above the crowd. The incident happened during her performance of “16 Carriages,” causing a brief pause in the show.

According to HuffPost, the pop star was being transported through the air in a red Cadillac prop when things went wrong. As the vehicle turned a corner while suspended above the audience, it began to tilt sideways unexpectedly. Despite the dangerous situation, Beyoncé remained professional and continued to perform, showcasing the stage presence that has made her legendary alter ego, Sasha Fierce, so captivating to audiences.

When the malfunction occurred, Beyoncé held onto one of the cables supporting the prop and kept singing for about a minute. She then called for the music to stop. After being safely lowered to the ground and helped by stadium staff and security, she addressed her fans with grace, saying, “I want to thank y’all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”

Technical problems led to a dangerous situation mid-performance

The incident was later addressed by Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s company, which explained that a technical problem had caused the flying car to tilt. The prop was designed to allow the singer to move around the stadium and get closer to her fans during the performance.

Throughout the scary moment, video footage captured by concert attendees showed Beyoncé maintaining her composure. Even as the prop car remained stuck in mid-air for several moments, she stayed calm and professional.

The situation could have been much worse, but thanks to quick thinking by the production team and Beyoncé’s own calmness, the incident ended safely. The concert was able to continue after the malfunction was addressed.

The incident happened in Beyoncé’s home state of Texas, where she was performing as part of her current tour, which had already made headlines for Ticketmaster pricing controversies during the pre-sale. Despite the technical difficulties, she showed remarkable poise in handling the situation, turning what could have been a frightening incident into a moment of connection with her fans.
