Beyoncé’s Opening Cowboy Carter Concert Disrupted by Tech Glitches

Beyoncé's Opening Cowboy Carter Concert Disrupted by Tech Glitches

Beyoncé may be Queen Bey, but even royalty has off nights — and the start of her Cowboy Carter world tour definitely hit a few sour notes.

During one of her opening shows, Bey had a big “wait, what just happened?!” moment when the performance got thrown off by a stage slip — literally.

Right in the middle of “Alien Superstar,” the music cut out, and the crowd was left totally confused. Beyoncé quickly left the stage, only to return minutes later in a new outfit and finish like the pro she is.

Still, fans didn’t miss a beat. Videos of the moment blew up online, and the BeyHive had thoughts. Some blamed crew missteps. Others wondered if robotic stage arms were about to go rogue. Yeah, it got that dramatic.

TMZ got the scoop, reporting it looked like Beyoncé was standing too close to robotic equipment and possibly missed her stage mark. Oof. And yep — there’s video.

But that wasn’t all. The audio issues and weird stage glitches kept popping up, giving the show some “dress rehearsal” vibes instead of flawless Queen Energy.

Still, it’s Beyoncé. She turned the chaos into choreography, keeping the show rolling without missing a diva beat.

The tour is just getting started — and if these hiccups are any sign, it’s gonna be a wild ride.
