Some fans in the pit at the first Houston show of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour almost got an extra up-close and personal experience. There’s a moment in the set where Bey is suspended above the crowd in a prop car as she sings “16 Carriages.” Last night, in the middle of that song, the car stopped unexpectedly and began to tilt sideways — not enough for her to totally fall out, but enough that she had to grip the cables for extra support. Beyoncé continued to sing for a minute, seemingly unbothered, before the fear sunk in and she repeatedly called for the music to stop. She was dangling above the crowd for a while there before being safely lowered into the pit. “If ever I fall, I know y’all catch me,” she told the hometown audience, as she got back up onstage to finish the song without a prop vehicle (call that “0 Carriages”).
