Beyonce left dangling mid-air during Cowboy Carter set

The superstar abruptly stopped singing during her latest Cowboy Carter show, with her floating car prop malfunctioning while she was in the air.

Beyoncé was left dangling midair in a car while performing during the first Houston Cowboy Carter tour stop.

On Saturday, the US singer was catapulted into the air in a red car for the performance of her country hit 16 Carriages.

While the vehicle was supposed to make its way around the venue so fans who don’t have floor seats could get a closer look at Beyoncé, the car began leaning to one side and came to a complete stop.

After finishing the first verse of the song, the mother-of-three yelled, “Stop, stop, stop, stop” as she sat at a standstill above screaming fans below.

After crew members rushed over, the red car was lowered to the ground and Beyoncé was safely removed.

In true Beyoncé fashion, the pop star walked back over to the stage to finish belting out the song.

After videos of the incident went viral, her entertainment company, Parkwood, took to Instagram to explain what happened.

“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 read.

“She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.”

Earlier this month, the Grammy winner effortlessly bounced a wardrobe malfunction while kicking off the London leg of her tour.

While performing her 2022 hit I’m That Girl, Beyoncé’s metallic fringed chaps fell to the floor mid-dance move.

However, the singer handled it like a pro and slowly slid down to the floor during a music break to pick them back up.

One of her backup dancers then assisted in helping secure the pants so the show could go on.

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour continues for a second night in her hometown on Sunday.
