Beyoncé was forced to pause one of her shows last month, mid-song, after a stage prop failed above the crowd with her on it. The Texas Hold’ Em Singer handled the situation like a pro and continued to entertain her fans despite the mishap.
Last week, concertgoers at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta noticed the absence of the flying prop. However, it seems Beyoncé wasn’t keen to remove that part from the show and has replaced it with something just as impressive. The previous prop was a flying car. The new prop is an extravagant golden horse, complete with moving legs.
The horse sailed over the crowd as the pop star sang ’16 Carriages’ during her Cowboy Carter tour set. Multiple fans captured footage of the flying horse, including TikTok user @therealfatpat.
@therealfatpat captioned his video “Beyoncé said damn the car.” Fans across social media seem thrilled about the change. One TikTok user said, “Beyoncé conquered her fears,” while another exclaimed, “And THAT’s why she’s the greatest. One commenter joked, “The transition from car to this horse is going to be in the movie.
Fans Captured The Gold Horse From Multiple Angles
Another fan posted footage of the horse on X, with several commenters pointing out the prop’s mechanical details. Some concertgoers are upset the ‘Crazy in Love’ singer didn’t ride a prop when they saw her during the tour. However, others quickly point out that Beyoncé likely had to learn to ride it before a live performance.
The previous flying car prop suddenly stopped as the pop star was above the crowds at the NRG Stadium in Houston. It remains unclear what caused the fault, but the ‘Irreplaceable’ singer was all smiles as show organizers lowered her to safety.
Parkwood Entertainment posted a statement after the incident. “Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium and see her fans up close, to tilt,” the statement said. “She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,” per the Houston Chronicle.
