4 A 10-year-old girl's scream over an insect sparked a wild stampede that landed 11 people in the hospital as chaos erupted after Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' tour stop in Atlanta.

'There was someone that started to scream outside of the station, she was startled by a bug outside of the large crowd,' MARTA acting CEO Rhonda Allen said in a press conference this week, saying the scream kick-started a 'chain reaction' spreading inside the station.
As panicked concertgoers began running down the escalator, it briefly sped up before coming to a screeching halt — causing people to fall on top of each other.

'They began to usher themselves down the escalator,' Allen said, adding that she told board members that the transit authority will do better during the next big event by adding staff and better managing of flow of passengers.
'We're going to have a more aggressive approach to how we staff these events,' she added, saying tighter crowd control will be implemented.

'The escalator has been barricaded and escalator manufacturer Schindler and MARTA Safety will investigate,' MARTA told The Post in a statement.

Officials have not said what caused the escalator malfunction.
Beyoncé fan Amber Anderson said she was pinned under a man as the mob of at least 20 people fell on top of each other, according to Atlanta News First.
'I see that people are starting to run at the entrance, which of course when you see somebody running, you probably want to run too,' Anderson told the outlet.

'I told my friend on the ride back, I said, 'We're supposed to be talking about how amazing the concert was because it was absolutely amazing, but this is what we're talking about,'' she added. 'I've never been more fearful.'
The ordeal took place just hours after Beyoncé's unreleased music was stolen from an SUV belonging to a member of the singer's team in Atlanta.
Beyoncé's choreographer, Christopher Grant, and dancer, Diandre Blue, told officers that two suitcases had been stolen from a Jeep Wagoneer that they were renting for the singer's four-show stop at the city's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The two stolen suitcases reportedly contained never-before-heard music by Beyoncé, as well as plans for her ongoing Cowboy Carter tour and other 'personal sensitive information.'
Clothing valued at over $1K, two laptops and a pair of AirPods were also reportedly taken.

Beyonce's ‘Cowboy Carter' tour ends soon. Get tickets to final shows in Vegas
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. 'Cowboy Carter' has reached its final destination. After a whirlwind international tour — which included 1) visually and sonically spectacular concerts, 2) guest spots from Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, Rumi and Miley Cyrus, 3) wild technical difficulties and 4) unreleased music stolen from an SUV belonging to a member of her team — Beyoncé will cap the 'Cowboy Carter Tour' with a pair of shows in Sin City. The last two gigs will go down at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26. If you'd like to be there, last-minute tickets are surprisingly inexpensive. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for these concerts was $121 including fees on Vivid Seats. Not bad considering this is the last the hive will see of the Queen for the foreseeable future. And, while we can't confirm whether or not Bey will bring out any big names to accompany her onstage (although her husband Hova joined her in Atlanta this past weekend), it's almost a certainty she'll perform over 30 songs based on what she's taken to the stage at past gigs on the run. According to Set List FM, she regularly delivers 'Cowboy Carter' tracks with hits like 'Crazy in Love,' 'Single Ladies,' 'Irreplaceable' and 'If I Were a Boy' sprinkled in for good measure. Yet, Knowles' powerhouse vocals aren't the only reason to drop serious coin to see her live. On top of the fan favorites she belts, the 'Cowboy Carter Tour' also features a stunning stage show with a mechanical bull, awe-inspiring choreography, her square-dancing daughters and, of course, the flying red car. 'It's a 2-hour-45-minute mashup of hardcore dance music and country/Americana leanings, in which neither primary genre has to say: 'Don't fence me in,'' Variety raved in a review of the first show of the tour back in April. 'And it's deliriously great, blurry, boundary-busting fun.' Still need a few more details before smashing the Bey buy button?

'AMEN' 'Cowboy Carter' On March 29, 2024, Beyoncé dropped her eighth solo studio album 'Cowboy Carter.' The expansive 27-track country/R&B/pop/rock/soul/Hip-Hop/everything in between record features guest spots from Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Shaboozey and more. In addition to charting at No. 1 in 24 countries, the album was met with universal acclaim. As a cherry on top, 'Cowboy Carter' won Album of the Year, Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her 'II Most Wanted' with Miley Cyrus at the 2025 Grammys. Highlights from the genre-hopping effort include the free-flowing, epic '16 CARRIAGES,' twangy bop 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' and stirring, cinematic, operatic 'DAUGHTER.' Make sure to give the good-time, party-startin' 'Son Of A Preacher Man'-sampling 'YA YA' a try, too. It's perfect for a stroll down the street, workout or pick-me-up. For our money, it's essentially a free mood booster. If you'd like to hear the one-of-a-kind album — that's the second in a trilogy celebrating different genres after the electrifying, EDM-ified 'Renaissance' — you can listen to 'Cowboy Carter' in full here. Beyoncé news The last few weeks of the 'Cowboy Carter Tour' have generated quite a few headlines. According to The Post, 'Beyoncé's unreleased music, tour plans and other 'personal sensitive information' were reportedly stolen out of a SUV linked to two members of her team' in Atlanta two days before she began her short residency at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. More recently, a 'stampede' broke out at one of the Atlanta gigs after a ten-year-old fan screamed after spotting an insect while leaving the venue The Post reported. Unbelievably, 11 hive members ended up in the hospital because of a bug. 'As panicked concertgoers began running down the escalator, it briefly sped up before coming to a screeching halt — causing people to fall on top of each other,' they wrote.
