Beyoncé pumped the brakes on one of her final songs in Houston on Saturday after a flying-car prop seemingly malfunctioned while she was mid-air.

The Houston-born singer was making a hometown stop on her Cowboy Carter tour when the incident occurred during the penultimate song, in which she sits in a red car suspended over the crowd while singing 16 Carriages. The car then circulates around the stadium while Beyoncé serenades her fans with the emotional ballad.

But at NRG Stadium, she paused abruptly and said, “Stop, stop stop.”

Video of the moment circulated online, as Beyoncé rarely pauses a live show. One video posted by Samantha Flores on Instagram appeared to show the car tilting dramatically to one side when Beyoncé called to stop the show.

Beyoncé seemed to keep her cool during the ordeal, even as fans frantically yelled to “get her down”. Another video posted by Flores showed Beyoncé with two feet on the ground to finish the song.

“If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me,” Beyoncé told the crowd.

Representatives for Beyoncé and NRG Stadium did not immediately respond to request for comment from NBC News. She is scheduled to perform a second night in her hometown on Sunday.

Beyoncé posted a carousel of photos from the show to her Instagram account, the last of which was a still of her on the nearly sideways car.

“I love you, Houston,” she wrote in the caption.

The singer’s Cowboy Carter tour began at the end of April and has spanned the US, as well as multiple nights in London and Paris. Beyoncé’s performances run for about three hours every night, without an opening act.

Her setlist includes more recent releases such as Ya Ya, Texas Hold ’Em and Levii’s Jeans. But she also gives the crowd fan favorites from her catalog like Crazy in Love and Irreplaceable.

Beyoncé had a special guest appearance during a show in Paris, bringing out Miley Cyrus to sing a duet. The pair have a song together called II Most Wanted on Beyoncé’s country album.

Cyrus wrote a post on Instagram thanking Beyoncé for the opportunity to join her onstage, calling it a dream come true.

“To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could’ve imagined,” Cyrus wrote.
