At Beyoncé's inaugural Cowboy Carter show in Houston on Saturday night, a stage prop abruptly broke down in the middle of the performance, changing the course of events. When the vehicle started to tilt, she was singing "16 Carriages" while seated in a flying red convertible that was suspended above NRG Stadium, according to People.

During her performance, Beyoncé experienced a prop malfunction mid-air.

The car was seen in a video taken by onlookers gradually tilting at a severe angle. Beyoncé responded right away by grabbing hold of one of the connected ropes. "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop," she yelled into her microphone. The song stopped abruptly.

With a smile on her face, the singer calmly glanced down at the stage crew and reassured the audience by saying, "Thank y'all for your patience," without becoming upset.

Finally, the vehicle was brought to the stadium floor without incident. Beyoncé resumed her prior seated posture as she came down and kept beaming at the audience. The lights went out. Her composure and command impressed the audience.

After the prop was lowered, Beyoncé briefly left the stage, as reported by the Houston Chronicle and Hot New Hip Hop. Following that, she resumed finishing her set without incident.

Beyoncé responds to the incident.

Later that night, a different film appeared on X showing Beyoncé addressing the crowd after restarting the performance. "I know y'all would catch me if ever I fall," she said.

The incident occurred during the first of her two scheduled shows in Houston, her hometown. The 43-year-old singer did not show any visible signs of distress. The cause of the malfunction is still unclear. Beyoncé’s team has not issued a statement.

Despite the glitch, the Cowboy Carter tour rolls on. Beyoncé is set to perform again in Houston this weekend. The tour supports her album Cowboy Carter, which has topped the charts and received critical acclaim.
