Beyoncé’s much-anticipated “Cowboy Carter” homecoming concert in Houston hit a brief snag Friday night when her iconic flying car stalled mid-air, leaving the superstar suspended as fans watched anxiously.
On Friday night at NRG Stadium, Beyoncé's flying red car, which is a signature part of her stage show, broke down.
This put an exciting stop to her successful return to her hometown with the "Cowboy Carter Tour." The accident happened while she was singing "16 Carriages" and was high above the stage in the car set piece. Fans knew right away that something was not right when Beyoncé's stressed face showed it.
"Stop." "Stop, stop, stop, stop," Beyoncé said as the music stopped and the arena went silent. Even though there was an unexpected delay, the pop star sat still for a few seconds while the crowd cheered loudly in support.
"Thank you all for waiting," Beyoncé told the crowd as the crew safely brought the car back up to the stage. She then went back to the main stage to finish the song and thank the fans who had come all the way from the back. She said, "I want to thank you all for loving me." "I know you guys will catch me if I fall."
Even though there was a short break, the show was still very exciting.
This was Beyoncé's first tour stop in her city since "Cowboy Carter" came out. Fans will have another chance to see the superstar on Sunday, when the tour's second show in Houston takes place at NRG Stadium.
Beyoncé's calm response to the situation and her sincere thanks to her fans showed how close she is to her hometown of Houston. They also showed that even technical problems can not take away Queen Bey's shine.
