Beyoncé’s Close Call: Robotic Arm Glitch Shocks Fans on Cowboy Carter Tour

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter World Tour took an unexpected turn when a stage mishap nearly resulted in a serious accident involving the global icon and a pair of robotic arms. During her performance of the chart-topping hit “Alien Superstar,” the stage visuals went from dazzling to dangerous.

The Music Stops, the Panic Starts

Mid-performance, fans were caught off guard when the music abruptly cut out and Beyoncé appeared momentarily confused. Seconds later, she swiftly exited the stage. What seemed like an odd interruption was quickly understood to be a safety concern—the artist had come alarmingly close to a moving mechanical setup.

Crew Error Behind the Scare

According to reports, the scare was the result of a technical oversight. Crew members had reportedly failed to mark the exact spot where Beyoncé was supposed to stand. This mistake brought her dangerously close to the swinging robotic arms that were programmed for stage choreography.

“Robot Malfunction” Goes Viral

While Beyoncé’s team acted fast and the show resumed shortly—with the star returning in a fresh outfit—fans wasted no time heading to social media. Slow-motion videos of the moment quickly flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with users joking that Beyoncé herself had suffered a “robot malfunction.”

A Professional Comeback

Despite the on-stage hiccup, Beyoncé proved once again why she’s considered a master performer. The rest of the show went on without a hitch, and subsequent concerts on the Cowboy Carter tour have continued smoothly, thrilling fans around the globe.

Queen Bey Remains Unshaken
