After the show, the Cowboy Carter singer posted a carousel of photos of her performance that night on her Instagram with the caption: “I love you, Houston.” The last photo is of her in the car that tilted in the sky. Many fans in the comments shared how worried they were for the singer.
The song “16 Carriages” is featured on her eighth studio album Cowboy Carter. The album won big at the Grammys earlier this year, with Beyoncé picking up trophies for album of the year as well as best country album. She is the most-awarded Grammy artist in history.
During her speech for winning best country album she said, “I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about, and to stay persistent.”
