“If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me,” singer quips after car stalls above crowd during “16 Carriages”
Beyoncé’s hometown Houston gig hit a brief detour Saturday as the flying red car she rides on during “16 Carriages” malfunctioned above the crowd.
One of the major set pieces during the Cowboy Carter Tour features the singer cruising over the audience as she delivers the concert’s penultimate track in the suspended vehicle. During Saturday’s show at NGR Stadium, however, the car stalled, tilted and swayed, causing Beyoncé to pause mid-song and alert the crew.
“Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop,” she calmly requested as the music went silent.
After hovering for another minute, the car was slowly lowered into an aisle way on the floor, where Beyoncé disembarked. After a brief delay, she made her way back to the stage and performed the remainder of “16 Carriages.” She then closed out the concert with “Amen.”
“Thank y’all for your patience,” she told the crowd after the malfunction (via the Houston Chronicle). “I wanna thank y’all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”
The road crew will have to act quick to mechanic the flying car’s issue, as Beyoncé is also set to perform Sunday at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
