People Are Shocked After Beyoncé Seemingly Experienced A Terrifying Stage Malfunction Involving Literal Robots

Beyoncé’s highly-anticipated Cowboy Carter tour kicked off in LA this week, and it’s already taken the internet by storm — not just for the iconic appearances from her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi.

Amid the almost-3-hour show, which features 36 songs, Beyoncé went all out with the technologically-advanced stage production. She rode a mechanical bull while singing “Tyrant,” for example, and was hoisted up above the crowd by a giant horseshoe while singing “Daddy Lessons” — not to mention the mid-air suspension on a literal car during “16 Carriages.”

Beyoncé also had a pair of robot arms on stage during her Renaissance segment of the show, which she memorably used on her last tour.

Well, on the second night of the tour, it appeared as though Beyoncé had a bit of a mishap with said robot arms after crew members seemingly forgot to mark the spot for her to stand on stage to avoid being hit by them.

In a video circulating online, which you can watch here, Beyoncé can be seen looking all over the floor before positioning herself in the middle of the two arms while a crew member quickly appears on stage.

The pair of arms flung out on either side of Beyoncé — who, luckily, wasn’t hit and seamlessly continued with her performance. However, several fans have since expressed their fear over the entire thing.

“They didn’t put a mark on the floor for her to know where to stop. She could’ve been wacked by the machines had she not stopped herself,” one person observed, while another echoed: “They didn’t put her mark down. She didn’t know where to stand. It could’ve hit her in the face.”

“I think her marks weren’t on the floor so she wasn’t sure where to stand for the robots,” someone guessed. Another person wrote, “You can see in her face when she doesn’t notice the marks on the floor. Her crew gotta stop playing because this could’ve definitely went left if she was in the wrong position!”

“this is the only time in my life that i’ve seen beyonce look disoriented onstage,” one user said.

Meanwhile, more fans described the mishap as “frightening.” One tweet read, “that’s scary asf bc one of the robots could’ve smacked her in the face if she wasn’t positioned right,” while another similarly said, “she is so professional bc this is actually so frightening, like what if one of the robot hands hit her?”

“this couldve genuinely went so wrong,” one more user added.

Yikes. Let me know what you think below.
