During a Monday, July 22 concert in Montreal, Beyonce appeared to have whipped her hair back and forth a bit too violently, getting her renowned hair stuck in a large fan while performing “Halo.” Beyonce, being Beyonce, continued to shout out the emotional ballad for an 18,000-strong audience while guards attempted to release her tresses from the wind-blowing apparatus.

Mrs. Carter seemed to be frustrated at one point.

In the end, Beyonce maintained her cool throughout the incident, proving that she is the toughest performer on the globe.

The incident was captured on film by several individuals, and the singer afterwards laughed about it on her social media pages.

“Gravity can’t begin to pull me out of the fan again,” Beyoncé said in a handwritten letter.

“I felt my hair was yankin’ from the fan that’s always hatin’.”

While many online commenters were amused by the gaffe, a source close to Blue Ivy’s mother, 32, tells Us Weekly the true story behind the blunder. “Beyoncé’s hair got caught in the fan because she went downstage to an area she normally doesn’t go for a fan,” the insider explains, admitting that the Grammy winner was inspired by a particular fan – the human kind!

“There was a girl in the front who was holding up a sign with a bucket list on it of all the things she wanted to do with her life. It was things like ‘graduate from college’ and all the boxes were checked except the last one, which was ‘Sing With Beyonce!’” the source tells Us.

“Beyonce was so moved she went down into the pit to sing ‘Halo’ with the girl to give her her final wish,” says the insider. “She wasn’t even thinking of the fan — she was focused on the girl she was trying to do something nice for and it was unprompted. It really came from a good place.”

Jay Z’s wife also shared a video of the event, which received more than 100,000 likes on Facebook.

Mrs Carter Show, which began in Belgrade in April and will end in December, is the singer’s global tour.

The tour stopped by Europe earlier this year, but Beyonce will perform at the V Festival in Chelsmford and Staffordshire next month.
