Someone on Beyonce’s Renaissance tour team might be handed a plane ticket home today after a huge blunder with the singer’s on-stage fan.
Everyone knows that air conditioning is essential for Beyonce, 41, when she tours and she typically has a fan follow her at every point of the show to keep her cool amid the hot lights and energetic choreography.
However, something went awry during her show in Chicago over the weekend as her fan didn’t seem to be switched on – and Queen Bey was quite literally Heated.
In a video clip going viral on social media, Beyonce is seen sitting atop a piano while belting out one of her opening numbers, ballad 1+1.
She suddenly motions to instruct a crew member to get the fan going but it was a failed attempt, prompting her to interrupt her lyrics to sing – in tune, of course: ‘Turn the fan on.’
Clearly, her crew were not paying attention as she flashed a bombastic side-eye and the sassiest of hair flicks before continuing on with the song. An extended clip of the awkward moment showed Beyonce’s hair blowing in the breeze proving they were luckily able to get the AC working.
Fans joked that Beyonce was ready to fire the culprit behind-the-scenes, with one tweeting: ‘Another one of those “somebody is getting fired” scenarios.’
‘Imagine losing your job because you forgot to turn on beyoncè’ fan,’ another commented.
One other laughed: ‘This woman kills me. Did she just say “turn the fan on” like it’s part of the song.’
‘I am crying! Imagine being in charge of the fans and you hear her sing this,’ wrote another BeyHive member.
It’s not the first time Beyonce’s had a mishap with a fan on tour as she famously got her hair tangled up in one during a Montreal show in 2013, leaving her devoted bodyguard Julius – and assistants armed with scissors – to free her from the machine mid-show.

The Renaissance tour has faced several comical mishaps so far, including Beyonce fumbling the tongue-twisting lyrics to Heated (Coco Canel, anyone?), audio issues plaguing one of her Polish shows and the time the singer’s crew failed to get her down from her huge horse prop in time.
You can bet that each and every time Beyonce came across an obstacle she reacted accordingly.
However, there have also been some sweet moments with the Formation hitmaker’s daughter Blue Ivy joining her on-stage on multiple dates, and Lizzo recreating one of Bey’s dance routines to perfection.
Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour continues in Detroit on July 26.
