Beyoncé Handles Scary Stage Malfunction Mid-Air During Houston Cowboy Carter Show; Here's What Happened
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour hit a tense moment during her first of two shows in her hometown of Houston on Saturday, June 28. The Texas Hold 'Em singer was performing at NRG Stadium when a suspended car prop she was sitting on started tilting unexpectedly mid-song.
While performing 16 Carriages, Beyoncé was seated on top of a red convertible that was lifted above her fans. A video shared on TikTok shows the car suddenly slanting at a sharp angle. Beyoncé, who appeared secured with a harness, held onto a cable attached to the car as it tipped.
'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' Beyoncé calmly told her crew through her microphone as the music cut off. Looking down at the crowd and then back up, she managed a smile as fans cheered to show support.
Here's how Beyoncé handled it
The Grammy winner didn't panic despite being stuck above the stadium. She thanked the audience, saying, 'Thank y'all for your patience.' The car was then carefully lowered to the ground. As the vehicle neared the stage, it steadied, and Beyoncé shifted back to her original seated spot, still smiling as the stage lights dimmed.
A fan who shared the clip on TikTok wrote, 'Omg she scared me. So glad she's safe and nothing happened!! SOMEBODY GETTING FIRREDDDD,' referencing her famous quote from her I Am World Tour in 2010.
What caused the malfunction?
According to the Houston Chronicle, the car prop stopped working halfway through the song. Once she was safely back on the ground, Beyoncé briefly left the stage before returning to continue her set.
A video posted on X showed her addressing the crowd afterward. 'If ever I fall, I know y'all would catch me,' she said, getting loud cheers in response.
Despite the scare, the Cowboy Carter tour continued without further issues. Fans praised Beyoncé for handling the moment so gracefully and thanked the crew for ensuring her safety.

What Is "Scarf Challenge"? 12-Year-Old In UK Reportedly Dies Attempting A Dare
A family was left devastated after a 12-year-old boy died, reportedly attempting a dangerous social media challenge known as the "scarf challenge", a variation of TikTok's deadly "blackout challenge", Metro reported. What Is "Scarf Challenge"? The boy named Sebastian hailed from Castleford, West Yorkshire. He was at home celebrating his younger brother's First Holy Communion when he reportedly attempted the infamous challenge, which involves choking oneself to induce a brief euphoria, which can lead to brain damage or death. The emergency services were called to the house at 6:06 pm (local time) on June 27, and despite immediate medical attention, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. The West Yorkshire Police are investigating the circumstances of Sebastian's death, but it is not being treated as suspicious. The family is urging other parents to be vigilant about their children's online activities and to have open conversations with them about the dangers of social media challenges. They emphasised that the online world can be just as dangerous as the real one. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Sebastian's family, which has raised over $4,300. The campaign aims to help with funeral expenses, psychological support and daily costs. The GoFundMe page reads, "A boy full of dreams, passion, and incredible talent. He taught himself to play the guitar and keyboard, and he loved to draw. Always smiling, kind, and full of joy - everyone who met him was touched by his gentle spirit." "He had loving parents who did everything they could to give him a safe and happy childhood. They would have given him the stars. Sadly, one brief moment changed everything. A dangerous internet challenge took his life," it added. This incident follows similar cases in the past where children have died attempting the "blackout challenge". The parents of four British teenagers who died in 2022 have filed a lawsuit against TikTok, alleging that the platform's algorithm promoted harmful content to their children.

Raven-Symoné, Wife Sleep In Different Bedrooms: 'She Would Keep Me Up At Night'
Published By : Bang Showbiz Raven-Symoné's wife revealed that the former Disney star is a 'crazy' sleeper. Raven-Symoné and her wife sleep in separate bedrooms. The 39-year-old actress and her spouse Miranda Pearman-Maday have 'many" reasons for having their own space at night, with the That's So Raven star admitting she can understand why her nocturnal habits keep her partner awake if they share a bed. In a preview from their appearance on the Jeff Lewis Has Issues podcast, Miranda, 37, said: 'Honestly, there were many reasons. Raven is a crazy sleeper and she would keep me up at night. She kicks and tosses and breathes. I have a big routine." Raven interjected: 'It's the hair. It's the humidifier. It's the curtains. It's the way she lays in the bed with red light systems on the whole entire body. I'm in the bed, I'm on TikTok, my legs are spread all the way open. Half-naked." Miranda joked her wife had 'maybe washed her face that day," but the former Disney Channel star quipped, 'Probably not." Earlier this month, Raven admitted she thinks becoming a parent is a 'narcissistic" thing to do. Speaking on the Tea Time with Raven and Miranda podcast, guest Lena Waithe said: 'Whenever someone says to me they want to have a baby, or they want to be a parent, I think my first question is 'Why?' Raven said: 'It's a narcissistic act." Lena simply replied: 'True." Meanwhile, the former That's So Raven was discussing the notions of labels and communities with Lena, and insisted that leaving 'toxic mentalities" behind to embrace the wider world is the only way to 'learn" as a person. She said: 'When you leave that toxic mentality, you're integrating yourself into the world, and that's better for me. I love the fact that we are on a planet with so many types of thought processes and so many different types of cultures. We can learn from every single culture, from every single religion, and if you're just stuck in one group all the time, you are never gonna grow." She added: 'I have gotten in trouble a lot with things that I have said, but that is ultimately what my brain wants to do. I want to travel to every single country and say, 'Oh, you cook chicken better than me, I'm gonna eat your chicken too. Yay me! Y'all know who cooks that fried chicken, it's not just black people. This s*** is delicious. I do wanna go to Africa and see the beautiful with the red clay on their skin, I wanna go to India and see the beautiful women with yellow clay on their skin. There are so many ways and people to learn from, and if you just stay in that circle and condemn your people for venturing out, then that is toxic." First Published:
