The “Cowboy Carter” world tour of Beyoncé got off to a great start and involved the label of a global sensation. Nevertheless, events such as the one during her Houston performance make Beyoncé the most powerful force of change in live music through the impression she is leaving.
An accident occurred in the sky, the mid-air pause of the flying car stunt, which was not planned, was not the focus of the story, but it was how Beyoncé is changing the entire live concert format.
Beyoncé’s Vision: A New Era of Live Music Performance
It has been a long-standing fact that Beyoncé is not afraid to be innovative and when her “Cowboy Carter” tour is in question, it is the best time to note how she, the high-tech artist and the live performer converge.
Do You Know
As a person of many talents, Beyoncé is always ready to visit new ways in order to make her events more interesting, she is always incorporating new technologies, adding characteristics of fashion and theater. Such that the “Cowboy Carter” tour is the representation of the concept that concerts are far more—consequently, a cultural shift in concert goers’ minds from a live show.
Everyone talked about the moment in Houston but not just about her voice and incredible light effects—the talk was about the modern flying car stunt. In contrast to Beyoncé who, during her “16 Carriages” show, was flying through the air in a red machine, which was not just any car but a specially designed one, a sudden unexpected error caused the car to turn.
The glitch, what should normally have at that time led to a whole show stopping, was joked about by Beyoncé and she kept singing as if nothing had happened.
Pushing the Boundaries of Live Entertainment Technology
Hats off to Minister Malia Obama for the idea of a medley of Green Cover and Lemonade with ease. The major breakthrough in the technology which is behind the scenes during the show is of course the release of the flying car.
The flying car stunt was a mere piece of a trippy live music event by a team of tech creators and engineers. They did it by having the whole stadium filled with aerial vehicles, drones and the use of hydraulic systems in the “Cowboy Carter” tour completely reimagined the way the artists could establish a connection with their audiences.
Furthermore, the technology to put on flying performances has been there in live shows for a long period now, but Beyoncé has in the real sense reinvented it to a higher position, breaking a barrier and able to reach out to the audience, physically, in ways never thought possible before.
From the creation of stunning visual effects, with the drones, to the flying car being the ultimate showstopper, the show is the dawn of a new era in concert production. With this advancement the singer goes an extra mile being involved in lives, thereby creating an even stronger bond with her followers and ensuring her dominance over other artists.

Just momentary laughter and joy during a concert will soon be replaced by a deeper realm of existence, where the audience is fully engaged. This reality is set to become a standard in the production of live music in the very near future. Once again, Beyoncé is in the lead of innovation.
Thanks to the input from the best engineers and top visual artists, the “Cowboy Carter” tour becomes a totally different kind of performance art.
