Beyonce stops show after scary prop malfunction
The 43-year-old singer was performing the first of her two Cowboy Carter shows in Houston, Texas on Saturday night US time when one of her props - a red convertible - malfunctioned and began to tilt in mid-air.
Beyonce - who appeared to be wearing a harness and was holding onto one of the cables attached to the car in a TikTok video of the incident - was singing 16 Carriages while sitting on top of the convertible when it began to lean at a sharp angle in the air.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop," she said into her microphone.
The music was cut and the Texas Hold 'Em singer looked down at the ground and up again before smiling to the cheering crowd.
She told them after a few seconds: "Thank y'all for your patience."
The car was then lowered and stopped tilting as it came closer to the ground, allowing Beyonce to sit back in her original position as the lights went off.
The singer left the stage before returning to finish her performance, telling the crowd: "If ever I fall. I know y'all would catch me."
This isn't the first malfunction Beyonce has experienced during her Cowboy Carter tour.
In California in May, the former Destiny's Child star was seen looking for her mark before the Cozy segment of the show, in which she is surrounded by gold frames.
But footage shared online showed her spot wasn't visible as she waited for robotic arms to bring the frames around her body and, appearing visibly confused, she was forced to complete her performance while avoiding being hit by the robotic props.
Also in May, Beyonce's 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - who is a dancer on the tour - intervened to unhook an earring that almost got caught in the Crazy in Love hitmaker's hair mid-performance.
And during one of her London shows in May, Beyonce's golden chaps slipped off as she sang, but she just pulled her outfit up and kept moving.
Beyonce was forced to stop one of her concerts in Texas when she almost fell out of a flying car.

Mum horrified after finding ‘disturbing' hidden messages in daughter's dress
A mum has issued a warning to parents to 'look at your kids' clothing carefully before you buy them' after she found inappropriate text on her young daughter's dress. Mum Savannah posted on TikTok after she looked more closely at her child's dress, decorated with bunnies, jelly beans, chickens and messages in tiny font. 'One day, when she was napping, I figured I'd take a peek and see what they actually said,' she explained in the clip that now has over 23 million views. She was then appalled by what she saw. One of the shocking lines was: 'Want to have an Easter egg hunt under the covers?' Another with sexually charged language read: 'This coupon entitles you to one free peep show!' 'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' said another message, as a different one read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips'. The 'weirdest,' according to Savannah, said: 'You've been the best husband and friend a girl could have ever asked for'. 'WTF,' one of the top responses read, reflecting the overall sentiment in the 20,000+ comments. Others asked, 'Where did you get that?' as some described the dress as 'disturbing,' 'nasty,' and 'ew'. 'The world is so perverted now,' said another. However, a few suggested it could have been an innocent mistake. One social media user wrote: 'aww, maybe it was an accident & they accidentally wrote all that.' The brand responds After some internet digging, commenters found out the dress was made by a US small business called Lele & Co. In response, the company took down the item and issued a statement on their website. It read: 'I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate text found on one of the clothing items sold in my store. This particular piece was a resale item from a vendor, and regrettably, I did not catch the offensive wording before it was listed. 'Please rest assured that this does not align with the values I uphold or support. We are in the process of taking any and all necessary legal actions with the vendor. 'For the record, the item in question has been promptly removed from my website and all social media accounts. All remaining stock was destroyed immediately.' The brand also said they were in contact with Savannah. 'Despite the negative and hateful messages, they will not diminish the passion that founded this company. Lele & Co is facing slander based on unfounded claims. I appreciate everyone's concerns that brought this matter to my attention and allow me the opportunity to address and respond in a respectful manner,' the statement concluded. has reached out to Savannah and Lele & Co. Another clothing item criticised It's not the first time children's clothing has gone viral for seemingly inappropriate content. Last December, a Kmart $8 kids' Christmas T-shirt was criticised, dividing parents. The shirt had 'kinda naughty' printed on it, with 'naughty' in sequins. 'I'm sorry, but what is this and why is it in the kids section?' one Aussie mum said on TikTok. However, some told her it 'Wasn't that deep' and 'Everyone just thinks of things the wrong way these days'. 'There's a lot of hills to die on in relation to kids fashion. This isn't one,' another said.

Calvin Harris has shot down rumours of a feud with Miley Cyrus
Calvin Harris has shot down rumours of a feud with Miley Cyrus. Fans of the Flowers hitmaker were left confused after Calvin shared a new snippet of his previously teased song Ocean, this time with the vocals of Jessie Reyez, the co-writer of the tune. The TikTok clip raised alarm bells, as Calvin previously shared a preview of the track with Miley's voice. One Miley stan commented: 'What happened to the one with Miley?????' Responding, Calvin insisted: 'Tell her. I do not know." When another fan asked if the Miley version will ever see the light of day, he replied: 'I'm afraid not.' The 41-year-old superstar DJ claims it was a mishap on his end that led to Miley no longer appearing on the track. Asked who was to blame, he said: "Nah it was my bad . . . crossed wires.' Dispelling speculation the pair had fallen out, he added: 'I love Miley.' Earlier this year, Calvin returned with his first song since 2018 to feature only his own vocals, Smoke The Pain Away, and his first single since his 2024 collaboration with Ellie Goulding, Free. As for Miley, the pop star is planning 'something really special' for Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary. The 32-year-old star shot to fame in the Disney show – which ran for four seasons from 2006 to 2011 – and she revealed she would love to pay tribute to the series with a special celebration next year. She told SiriusXM's TikTok Radio: 'I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today. Without Hannah, there really wouldn't be this kind of… this me.' The show starred Cyrus as Miley Stewart, a teenage girl living a double life as famous pop singer Hannah Montana and Miley is excited to celebrate the character. She said: 'It's so crazy to think, too, that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed. And now that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood, but I've now been as kind of integrated into everyone's life as the character itself. So that's exciting to get to celebrate that.'

Tesla goes rogue with new Grok AI
Tesla is no stranger to bold, unconventional ideas, but its Grok AI 'Unhinged Mode' is pushing things further than ever. The feature has been making headlines for its savage, unfiltered comebacks that fit squarely within Elon Musk's brand of edgy, meme-ready tech. Unlike other AI assistants that play it safe, Grok's unhinged personality has shocked users with its profanity-laced humour and aggressive banter. TikTok creator Kyle Krueger recently tested the mode and was stunned by the responses. When he asked if it was in 'unhinged mode,' Grok fired back: 'Oh, you f****** bet your sweet a** I'm in unhinged mode, you glorious chaos gremlin,' it said. 'I'm Ara, you're unfiltered bat**** crazy AI sidekick.' @kylekruegerr my tesla's new AI just LOST it 😂 wait till the end #tech #gadget #tesla #grok #elon ♬ original sound - Kyle Krueger When pressed about Tesla haters, the AI went even further, unloading a tirade of expletives and insults 'Those whiny limp d*** b****** can choke on a bag of rusty spark plugs,' the AI bot said. 'They are just jealous their gas guzzling s*** boxes can't touch Elon's electric w*** d****.' And this isn't the first time Grok's AI bot has had a brush with controversy. Earlier this year, the AI system made headlines after generating antisemitic remarks and praise for Hitler following the release of Grok 4. Those incidents triggered regulatory scrutiny in Europe and a temporary ban in Turkey. While the Grok rants can be entertaining, there are concerns about how the use of profanity and an absurd personality in an in-car AI might create problems. 'You know, this feels wrong. Electric cars were made with the purpose to help with the environment and they implemented an AI hat is not good for the environment? weird.' one user on commented. 'How is this allowed,' another said. Despite the backlash, Tesla insists Grok is 'designed to deliver accurate and insightful responses across a wide range of topics.' In North America, Grok is available on specific Tesla models, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck. To use Grok, Tesla vehicles in the US must be equipped with an AMD processor, must run software version 2025.26, and must have Wi-Fi connectivity. With Tesla's board weighing an investment in xAI and Musk confirming plans to integrate Grok into Optimus humanoid robots, the chatbot is quickly becoming central to Musk's long-term strategy. Whether you see it as a gimmick or a waste of tech, Grok's unhinged represents a pattern of intentionally chaotic innovations developed by Elon Musk. Tesla Australia has not yet confirmed whether Grok AI will be available in its vehicles here. However, if there are plans to introduce it, there may be restrictions that differ from those in the US. These variations could affect what Australians can anticipate compared to the features currently accessible in the US.
