Beyonce suffers embarrassing stage fail on Cowboy Carter Tour

After struggling to sell tickets for her troubled Cow Carter Tour, Beyoncé added another item to her long list of issues: mechanical failures.

The 43-year-old singer was caught on fan video during the last show of her five-night stint in Los Angeles. A robot on stage failed to hit its mark.

The mix-up comes after Beyoncé was hit with a cease-and-desist letter for featuring images of a famous concert venue on her Cowboy Carter Tour, which has struggled to sell out its LA run and upcoming concerts in Chicago and London.

During one section of the concert at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, Beyoncé took a break to sit on a large gold thrown as a robotic arm that wouldn’t have been out of place in a factory attempted to pour a bottle of liquor into her glass on one of the throne’s arms.

But the robot upended the bottle just an inch or two away from the drink, and instead poured the liquid all over the golden chair she was sitting in.

Beyoncé was supposed to follow up the over-the-top display by taking a sip of her drinking and grabbing a remote control on the other arm rest as if to turn on the TV before vegging out.

But the Texas Hold ‘Em singer — who was dressed in a busty white Western suit covered in sequins and tassels — looked surprised and embarrassed as she briefly picked up her glass and realized that it was empty.

Her mouth started to curl into a smile as she quickly returned the empty glass to its spot on her arm rest.

But Beyoncé managed to tamp down her smile and continued with the act as she picked up the remote and flicked it as if to turn on a television.

‘Beyoncé wanted to laugh so bad… she looked up at the robot like it wasn’t a robot,’ a user on X who posted the video wrote.

‘Beyoncé is so unserious,’ another person wrote in the replies.

Although the video vantage point didn’t make it clear what led the robotic bartender to miss its mark, one fan claimed that the messy mistake was a result of ‘human error.’ 

‘They didn’t put it directly on its mark kinda like when they didn’t mark where she had to stand to perform Cozy,’ they wrote.

‘She ready to fire the robot,’ another commenter joked.

Several fans admitted that Beyoncé’s apparent ‘eye contact’ with the robot bar tender was the funniest part of the video.

The Single Ladies singer has face other controversies on her recently launched tour, including over her daughter Blue Ivy’s substandard dance moves. 

Beyoncé has lately been struggling to sell tickets for her ongoing tour, which may reflect less interest in her country-tinged Cowboy Carter material compared to her dance-friendly Renaissance material.

The singer–songwriter also may be struggling to get fans who saw her on her whirlwind Renaissance tour to come back just two years later, this time at even higher prices.

Those prices — $200–$300 a ticket for some of the worst seats at her upcoming Chicago shows — may be also turning off fans.

Beyoncé appears to have drastically slashed prices at some of her shows in order to get fans to buy the unsold tickets.

Some fans who saw her in LA were able to nab tickets as cheap as $35 before Ticketmaster’s fees, and tickets are still available for her upcoming six-night run in London, with some tickets now going for as little as £66.

Although several hundred tickets are available for her upcoming Soldier Field shows in Chicago, there are a sea of available seats when adding in all of the scalper and regular concertgoers who have put their tickets up for resale just on Ticketmaster alone.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, an inside source maintained that resellers — individuals or businesses that scoop up mass amounts of concert tickets and resell them to fans for exorbitant prices — are largely to blame for limited attendance. This can be seen in seat maps on Ticketmaster, where resale tickets make up a large portion of empty seats. 

Still, the insider explained that Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z are remaining hopeful and ‘expecting more of her fans to buy tickets today and in the coming days if resale gets cheaper.’

‘Ticket prices could be slashed the evening of some dates to fill the seats if they are noticeably empty,’ they added.

Compared to her massive Renaissance tour, which ultimately featured 56 total shows, Beyoncé currently has only 32 concerts scheduled for her all-stadium tour.

She’ll be going to only nine different cities due to multi-day runs, with US stops including Chicago; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Houston, Texas; Summerfield, Maryland; Atlanta; and Las Vegas. 

Her two international destinations will include six concerts at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and three shows just outside Paris. 

Despite her issues moving tickets, Beyoncé made history by playing more shows than any other artist at Sofi Stadium — though the venue has only been open since September 2020.
