Beyoncé handled her flying car’s technical mishap during her recent Cowboy Carter Tour stop like a pro, and is playing it off with a spot-on song.

She posted a tour reel on Instagram Monday (June 30) from the June 28-dated tour stop in her Houston hometown, when the suspended red convertible began slanting in the air while she was singing “16 Carriages” at NRG Stadium. The superstar stopped mid-performance to say “Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.” before being safely lowered to the ground and hopping out of the whip. While she quipped with the crowd that night, “If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me,” she still had one more joke up her bedazzled sleeve.
“Sittin’ Sidewayz,” she captioned the clip while playing Paul Wall and Big Pokey‘s 2005 hit in the background. Released as the first single from Wall’s sophomore album The Peoples Champ, “Sittin Sidewayz” reached No. 93 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 24 on Hot Rap Songs.
Parkwood Entertainment released a statement about the incident after the concert on Sunday morning (June 29). “Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,” Parkwood wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story.
Beyoncé is slated to perform at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland next on Friday, July 4 and Monday, July 7.
