'Stop, stop, stop': Beyoncé cuts song short after flying car malfunctions during Houston show

Beyoncé pumped the brakes on one of her final songs in Houston on Saturday after a flying-car prop seemingly malfunctioned while she was midair

Beyoncé pumped the brakes on one of her final songs in Houston on Saturday after a flying-car prop seemingly malfunctioned while she was midair.

The Houston-born singer was making a hometown stop on her “Cowboy Carter” tour when the incident occurred during the penultimate song, in which she sits in a red car suspended over the crowd while singing “16 Carriages.” The car then circulates around the stadium while Beyoncé serenades her fans with the emotional ballad.

But at NRG Stadium, she paused abruptly and said, “Stop, stop stop.”

Video of the moment circulated online, as Beyoncé rarely pauses a live show. One video posted by Samantha Flores on Instagram appeared to show the car tilting dramatically to one side when Beyoncé called to stop the show.
