Beyoncé swaps her flying car for a robotic horse after stage glitch

Beyoncé has made a small but cool change to her Cowboy Carter Tour. After a small stage mishap, she has made a change in her Cowboy Carter tour setup, swapping her famous flying car for a golden robotic horse that floated over the audience while she was performing '16 Carriages'.

The new change was first seen at her Atlanta show on July 10 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where Beyoncé kicked off her run of performances in Georgia. The animatronic stallion isn’t just for show; it actually moves its legs as it gallops mid-air, creating a grand, cinematic moment as Beyoncé sings. She later shared photos of the new setup on Instagram, and fans have been loving it.

This change comes after a rare technical glitch during her Houston show on June 28. While singing '16 Carriages' in a red levitating car, the vehicle suddenly tilted forward while Beyoncé was suspended several feet above the stage. Staying calm as ever, she kept performing and eventually signaled her crew to lower her down. Laughing it off later, she told fans, “If I ever fall, I know y’all will catch me.”

After that incident, her team confirmed everything was under control and no one was hurt. “She was quickly lowered and the show continued without incident,” Parkwood Entertainment shared in a statement.

Now, with just a few more shows left, including more performances in Atlanta and two final concerts in Las Vegas on July 25 and 26, the Cowboy Carter tour is already a major success. In May alone, Beyoncé’s shows earned over $157 million and sold more than half a million tickets, making it one of the highest monthly grosses in Billboard Boxscore history, second only to her own Renaissance Tour in 2023.
