Beyoncé’s company, Parkwood Entertainment, issued a statement saying that there was a “technical mishap”.

They added: “She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.” The crowd heard Beyoncé say, “Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.” The crew lowered the car back to the ground of Reliant Stadium. Bey thanked the fans for their patience and said, “If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”

An earlier show in the tour in Paris saw Bey joined by husband, JAY-Z.

The couple have not performed live together since 2018 and while Jay does not fit in with the country aesthetic of the show, Bey concluded her three night run in the French capital by bringing out her husband.
