Beyoncé trades in flying car stunt for flying horse during opening night in Atlanta

Look at that horse!

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered an explosive performance during her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in Atlanta, brining back her song "16 Carriages." But this time, the standout moment came with a major twist.

The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her first concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on July 10. The concert marked her first of four shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to hit the stage again July 11, 13 and 14.

During the high-energy show, fans speculated whether Beyoncé would bring back her hit song “16 Carriages,” along with the eye-catching stunt that once featured a flying car. Toward the end of the show Beyoncé did in fact perform the song. However, this time, she flew in the air on a mechanical horse.

One fan wrote, "Omg she's on a horse!" Another said, "Ya'll have to be here. This is so amazing."

As fans know, during her opening show in her hometown of Houston, which took place at NRG Stadium on June 28, Beyoncé was forced to pause the show because a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She told everyone to "stop" repeatedly before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries.

At the following Houston show, Beyoncé cut "16 Carriages" from the set list completely and avoided flying in the air in a car. And many fans thought this part of the show might be permanently cut, as she completely skipped the song and stunt during her two shows at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C.

As fans know, Beyoncé first announced the eighth studio album in February 2024 during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, releasing singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." The tunes quickly gained popularity ahead of the album's full release March 29, 2024.

Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.

The nine-city tour has spanned the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale set for Las Vegas on July 26.
