Beyoncé Replaces Flying Car with Gold Horse on Cowboy Carter Tour After Malfunction

Beyoncé debuted a mechanical gold horse suspended above the audience during her performance of "16 Carriages" at her Atlanta stop on the Cowboy Carter Tour, replacing the previously used suspended red Cadillac after a stage malfunction. During the Houston show on June 28, the red car tilted mid-air, causing a scary moment for the singer, who calmly asked for the stunt to stop and was safely lowered to the stage. Following the incident, "16 Carriages" was temporarily removed from the setlist for several shows but returned with the new horse prop, which featured galloping leg movements and allowed Beyoncé to remain upright while floating above the crowd. Fans praised the updated performance, noting it as a significant and impressive revival of the song on tour. The Cowboy Carter Tour, celebrating the success of her Grammy-winning album, continues to blend innovation and resilience, with the tour set to conclude on July 26 in Las Vegas. Beyoncé's evolving stagecraft highlights both her artistic vision and her commitment to delivering a powerful live experience despite challenges.
