Beyoncé arrived in Atlanta on Thursday, July 10th, for the first of four stops on her Cowboy Carter Tour, and she had the Beyhive completely shaken! After removing 16 carriages from recent setlists, Queen Bey brought them back with a vengeance, thrilling fans with a new stand. In the viral clips flooding the internet, Beyoncé soars above the crowd on a robotic golden horse. It’s not yet known if this horse is replacing the infamous carriage stand for good, but ATL fans were living for the song’s triumphant return. Here’s what happened.

ATL’s Golden Moment at Beyoncé’s Concert
Beyoncé basically said, “Cadillac Who?” and brought the house to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena! She resurrected ’16 Carriages’ with a futuristic gold horse stand that had fans screaming. Before the crowd, Bey delivered those stirring notes, and this time, things went exactly as planned. The new stand also perfectly matched the tour’s country aesthetic. With three more ATL shows, online chatter is already underway, with people wondering if this is a permanent change to the tour.

What happened earlier at your Houston show
On June 28th at NRG Stadium, Beyoncé was killing the ’16s in her red car prop, floating above the crowd. But whew, it went left… literally! The car tilted through the air, leaving Queen Bey dangling. Cool as ever, though her breathing was a little shaky, she screamed,
“Stop, stop, stop!” as the crew lowered her to safety. Fans gasped, but Bey waved and smiled as if it were nothing. “If I fall, I know you’ll catch me,” she told the crowd, per ABC News . Parkwood Entertainment called it a “technical accident,” but phew, they’re probably taking the link off LinkedIn! This scare led to 16 carriages being briefly cut from setlists.
In a statement, Parkwood Entertainment wrote: “Tonight in Houston at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the hovercar, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium and see her fans up close, to tilt. It was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.”
