Beyoncé's Beyhive has her back, even if it means breaking her fall from a flying car.

The 35x Grammy Award-winner avoided an accident during her 'Cowboy Carter Tour' stop in Houston, Texas, on Saturday.

One of the highlights of her show takes place during a performance of '16 Carriages'. Beyoncé flies above the audience in a red Cadillac Eldorado.

She has done the stunt several times before; however, this time, something went wrong. The car appeared to tilt more than usual.

"Stop, stop, stop," Beyoncé said mid-performance.

Sensing something was wrong, her fans began to scream, 'Bring her down." Her team quickly sprang into action, slowly lowering the car.

Beyoncé appeared slightly nervous but maintained her composure and smiled as she was lowered.

I don’t want to cover celebrities… but this was scary. Beyonce rides a flying car during her concert and last night it malfunction.

Beyoncé returned to the stage to complete the show, much to the relief of her fans, aka the Beyhive.

"I wanna thank y'all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y'all [would] catch me," Queen B said.

One fan screamed: "Yes. Period."

Thankfully, no one was injured during the incident. Fans are begging the 'II Most Wanted' hitmaker to remove the flying car from her show.

"Beyonce I BEG U, please stop getting on them flying props," one X user said.

Another user said: "No more flying car, @Beyonce! Glad they got her down safe. My heart skipped a beat when she said stop, stop, stop."
