Beyonce, whose Cowboy Carter tour arrived at the NRG Stadium in Houston last night, delighted fans as she kicked off with Ameriican Requiem followed by a cover of The Beatles classic Blackbird.
Yet in the final segment of proceedings, and after an appearance from her daughter Blue Ivy and the track Legacy playing out on tape, things turned sour.
During her performance of 16 Carriages, Bey hopped into a red car which was then suspended into the air.
She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side.

The If I Were A Boy vocalist then paused her lyrics to shout: "Stop. Stop, stop, stop."
The crowd paused in anticipation before bursting into cheers as the vehicle - attached to a series of cables - was brought down to solid ground.
Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: "I wanna thank y'all, for loving me.
"If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me."

A third mused: "Whoever messed up #beyonce car set up is getting fired from a CANNON."
Another remarked: "We could have lost @Beyonce tonight if that car that she was in would have fell on stage, thank god that she is safe."
One then pleaded: "BEYONCÉ! No More Car I Mean It."
Overall, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour has been a visual extravaganza for her fans, showcasing the star in an array of outfits, performing with her daughters and even grinding on a bull.
She has also floated over the crowds while perched in a moving horse shoe.
She is then expected to follow up the project - which kicked off in
Los Angeles
in April - with another album next year, after announcing that Renaissance and Cowboy Carter were part of a trilogy.
On her website in 2022, she confirmed: 'This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic.
'A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.'
TOUR TEASE
During Beyonce's Cowboy Carter UK tour dates, the star appeared to drop a huge clue she was considering re-locating.
It came as she was
allegedly seen viewing land in the
Cotswolds
countryside with rapper husband Jay-Z, 55.
Beyonce reportedly took a helicopter ride with her spouse, with whom she shares three kids, to get a better look at the Oxfordshire pile.
The land supposedly spanned 58 acres and a source told
"Located close to friends Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, and with Simon Cowell and the Beckhams as neighbours, she felt it would be an ideal UK home for her family, away from the city when they're in the country."
