Beyoncé fan's scream over bug sparked stampede after ‘Cowboy Carter’ show in Atlanta, hospitalizing 11

The scream of a 10-year-old girl caused a frenzied stampede, leading to 11 hospitalizations as pandemonium broke out after Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour stop in Atlanta.

Officials reported that a surge of fear began at the Vine City MARTA station shortly after midnight as admirers of the “Tyrant” singer exited the nearby Mercedes-Benz Stadium following Queen Bey’s concert, as per 11 Alive.

Terrifying video from the scene showed people being led into ambulances on stretchers or in wheelchairs and led to local hospitals.

“An individual outside the station began to scream, frightened by an insect in close proximity to the large crowd,” MARTA acting CEO Rhonda Allen explained at a press conference this week, noting that the scream triggered a “chain reaction” that spread within the station.

As panicked concertgoers began running down the escalator, it briefly sped up before coming to a screeching halt — causing people to fall on top of each other.

“They began to usher themselves down the escalator,” Allen said, adding that she told board members that the transit authority will do better during the next big event by adding staff and better managing of flow of passengers.

“We’re going to have a more aggressive approach to how we staff these events,” she added, saying tighter crowd control will be implemented.

“The escalator has been barricaded and escalator manufacturer Schindler and MARTA Safety will investigate,” MARTA told The Post in a statement.

Officials have not said what caused the escalator malfunction.

Beyoncé fan Amber Anderson said she was pinned under a man as the mob of at least 20 people fell on top of each other, according to Atlanta News First.

“I see that people are starting to run at the entrance, which of course when you see somebody running, you probably want to run too,” Anderson told the outlet.

“I told my friend on the ride back, I said, ‘We’re supposed to be talking about how amazing the concert was because it was absolutely amazing, but this is what we’re talking about,’” she added. “I’ve never been more fearful.”

The ordeal took place just hours after Beyoncé’s unreleased music was stolen from an SUV belonging to a member of the singer’s team in Atlanta.

Beyoncé’s choreographer, Christopher Grant, and dancer, Diandre Blue, told officers that two suitcases had been stolen from a Jeep Wagoneer that they were renting for the singer’s four-show stop at the city’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The two stolen suitcases reportedly contained never-before-heard music by Beyoncé, as well as plans for her ongoing Cowboy Carter tour and other “personal sensitive information.”

Clothing valued at over $1K, two laptops and a pair of AirPods were also reportedly taken.
