WATCH: Beyoncé stuck mid-air in tilting car during show: 'I know y'all will catch me...'
While singing "16 Carriages," the 43-year-old superstar was seated atop a red convertible suspended above the stage when the vehicle suddenly began to tilt mid-air, as seen in fan-shot videos circulating on social media.
Wearing a harness and holding onto a safety cable, Beyoncé remained composed. 'Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop,' she calmly said into her microphone while still suspended.
Stage crew quickly halted the performance, and the car was carefully lowered back to the stage. Once safely on the ground, Beyoncé addressed the crowd with grace, saying, 'I want to thank y'all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me.'
A statement later confirmed that she was safely lowered and no injuries occurred. The show resumed smoothly and the Beyhive was happy that their queen was not hurt.
"It is scary, she weathered it quite well," says Friedman.
