Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour stop in Houston on June 28 took an unexpected turn when a suspended car prop malfunctioned, leaving the superstar dangling mid-air in front of a stunned audience.
The 43-year-old icon was performing her hit “16 Carriages” atop a floating red convertible when the vehicle suddenly tilted sideways, forcing her to halt the show. Videos captured the tense moment as Beyoncé, secured by a harness, calmly repeated, “Stop, stop, stop, stop” into her microphone while gripping a support cable.
The technical mishap occurred as the car—a staple of her tour designed to circle the stadium—began leaning precariously. Crew members swiftly intervened, lowering the vehicle to the stage. Despite the scare, Beyoncé remained composed, later reassuring fans,
“I want to thank y’all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me”.
Her publicist confirmed no injuries and noted the show resumed without further issues.
How Beyoncé Turned a Mishap Into a Moment of Connection
True to her reputation as the consummate professional, Beyoncé transformed the frightening incident into a testament to her bond with fans. After safely descending, she returned to the stage to finish her set, earning roaring applause. Social media erupted with admiration for her poise, with one fan tweeting,
“She really said ‘the show must go on’ while dangling in the air”.
Adding humor to the ordeal, Beyoncé later posted a carousel of tour photos on Instagram, including snaps of the tilted car, set to Houston rapper Paul Wall’s “Sittin’ Sidewayz.” She cheekily captioned it, “Sittin’ Sidewayz”—a nod to both the malfunction and her hometown’s hip-hop culture. Parkwood Entertainment, her management team, attributed the incident to a “technical mishap” but emphasized her quick recovery.

Safety Measures and Fan Reactions
While the cause of the malfunction remains unclear, experts speculate it could involve rigging or balance issues. Notably, the car prop was removed for the following night’s Houston show, and “16 Carriages” was temporarily cut from the setlist—a decision that sparked mixed reactions. Some fans lamented missing the fan-favorite track, while others joked,
“The car finally got impounded!”.
This isn’t the first hiccup on the Cowboy Carter tour; Beyoncé previously handled a wardrobe malfunction in London when her metallic chaps fell mid-performance. Yet, as one critic noted, “
She doesn’t just recover—she makes it part of the show”.
