Beyonce almost had a mid-air car accident during concert

Beyonce's "Cowboy Carter" tour was in her hometown of Houston on Saturday night, but the singer was involved in a car accident that threatened to derail the show. It just so happens that the car in question was "flying" over the concert crowd at the time.

The flying car has been part of the showmanship of Beyonce's tour and had been going on without a hitch. Unfortunately she had her "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" moment. During "16 Carriages," the car started to list, which was not ideal given that Beyonce was in the car at the time. While the concert paused to try and extricate Beyonce from the circumstances, the car wasn't in on that deal. It continued to tilt further, but ultimately disaster was avoided. Beyonce was securely lowered back down to solid ground and continued the concert.

There are only a couple more shows left in Beyonce's tour, so the car hasn't exactly been an issue. Will Beyonce have any pause about getting back in the flying car after having it almost deposit her onto her fans? If the car stays in the show, you know Beyonce has guts.
