I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but there was a brief Beyoncé concert that aired during halftime of some football game Sunday night (Feb 7). I think they call it a Superb Owl? Or is it the Super Bowl? Who knows? WHO CARES?
Anyhow, following her opening acts Coldplay and Bruno Mars, Beyoncé performed, and she was so “***Flawless” that you might not have even noticed that she almost fell.
Yes, you read that right. BEYONCÉ ALMOST FELL ON STAGE WHILE PERFORMING THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW.
Them: did you see Beyoncé stumble!?!

The almost fall happened during her epic dance-off with Bruno Mars when she was milly rocking to the “Betcha Can’t Do It Like Me Challenge.

It was one of those blink-and-you-miss-it moments, yet we live in the age where NOTHING is missed because EVERYONE is watching, waiting for something “viral” to happen.
But Mercy said NO! What could have been a disaster (who wants to fall on their butt while 100 million-plus people are watching?) turned into a moment in which the world was reminded why Beyoncé is the Queen.
How to save yourself. In heels. In front of a huge national audience. She's a pro. #SB50 https://t.co/71ftf7edAy

Meanwhile, these folks have other theories:
Beyoncé didn't almost fall. The earth just moved a little bit.

Beyoncé didn't almost "fall". Her power tilted the Earth's axis and she was just compensating. FOH

Beyoncé didn't almost fall. The fall almost Beyoncéd.

She even got props for her apparent athleticism:
Beyoncé is extremely athletic, she double hopped to ensure she wouldn't fall while crouched down & stayed on beat. ?

Most athletic play of the Super Bowl was Beyonce saving her fall IN HEELS & making it work https://t.co/2cwbGKvmBN https://t.co/aqk5mIG9jp
