Beyonce Nearly Falls Down Stairs at Nashville Concert: Video

February 2024 · 2 minute read

“Flawless” is right! Beyoncé stumbled as she descended the stairs on stage at a recent concert, but she gracefully recovered and carried on with the show.

The 36-year-old’s near-disaster can be seen in fan video from her and Jay-Z’s show in Nashville on Thursday, August 23, the latest stop of the married couple’s On the Run II tour.

As the footage shows, Beyoncé’s ankle buckled as she walked down the stairs, but she sprung up, kicked her leg out, and strutted on as if nothing had happened.

The recovery is reminiscent of Bey’s Super Bowl 50 halftime performance in 2016 — during which she lost her balance but made her resulting hop backward look like part of the choreography.

The 22-time Grammy winner wasn’t so lucky at Coachella in April, though. During a dance-off with sister Solange Knowles at the California music fest, both siblings ended up falling to the stage.

Meanwhile, Billboard reports the On the Run II tour has earned more than $150 million, after only 29 of the scheduled 48 tour dates. By contrast, Beyoncé and her 48-year-old husband’s 2014 On the Run tour only raked in $110 million.
