Beyonce was forced to abruptly stop her show after the flying car she was riding on seemingly began to tilt mid-air.
The horrifying moment occurred at her Houston concert on Saturday and stunned audience members, who captured it on video.
The red convertible, which is normally in an upright position, could be seen at an obvious slant as she soared through the air during her 16 Carriages performance.
‘Stop,’ Beyonce, 43, said sternly. ‘Stop, stop, stop,’ she commanded, concern evident in her voice. The crowd grew quiet before they erupted into a mixture of yelling and cheering.
The vehicle, which was attached to various cables, was slowly and safely brought back down to the stage.
Despite the terrifying stakes, Beyonce appeared calm whilst in the car.

It’s unclear what exactly occurred but according to various social media accounts, her car began to tilt in the air. According to the Houston Chronicle, her car had stopped moving midair.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Beyonce for comment but did not immediately hear back.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, Beyonce left the stage floor briefly after her car was properly lowered to the ground before coming back to wrap up the performance.
The songstress, now safely on stage, then resumed performing her song and thanked her fans with a heartfelt message.
‘I wanna thank y’all,’ she told the audience, adding, ‘for loving me.’
‘If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me,’ she said.
The incident, which occurred in her hometown of Houston, is not the first time she has suffered from a mechanical issue during her Cowboy Carter tour.
In May, the songstress was captured in fan video on the final show of her five-night run in Los Angeles as a robot on stage failed to hit its mark.
During one section of the concert at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, Beyoncé took a break to sit on a large gold thrown as a robotic arm that wouldn’t have been out of place in a factory attempted to pour a bottle of liquor into her glass on one of the throne’s arms.
But the robot upended the bottle just an inch or two away from the drink, and instead poured the liquid all over the golden chair she was sitting in.
Beyoncé was supposed to follow up the over-the-top display by taking a sip of her drinking and grabbing a remote control on the other arm rest as if to turn on the TV before vegging out.

But the Texas Hold ‘Em singer — who was dressed in a busty white Western suit covered in sequins and tassels — looked surprised and embarrassed as she briefly picked up her glass and realized that it was empty.
Her mouth started to curl into a smile as she quickly returned the empty glass to its spot on her arm rest.
But Beyoncé managed to tamp down her smile and continued with the act as she picked up the remote and flicked it as if to turn on a television.
Earlier this month, Beyonce lost her chaps on stage during a show in London.
The diva from Texas was walking while singing as the fringed chaps fell to the ground as she looked astonished, according to TMZ.

The site claimed that she ‘effortlessly performed’ during the embarrassing incident as she slid down to pull the chaps back on.
