All eyes were on Beyonce as she performed at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday – but you could be forgiven for not spotting her blink-and-you-miss-it stumble as she covered it up so well.
Queen Bey did a backwards hop and lost her footing – but she managed to make the misstep look like part of the plan.

The singer performed her brand new single Formation at the show, having dropped it just a day earlier – and it was while she was in formation with her back-up dancers that she almost lost her balance.
Beyonce was joined by Coldplay and Bruno Mars for the half-time medley of their hits – old and new.

She followed her performance by announcing a worldwide stadium tour, starting in the spring.
The Beyhive were impressed by the superstar’s flawless recovery…
Beyonce fans be like "Beyonce didnt almost fall… all her back up dancers missed a move"

Beyoncé is extremely athletic, she double hopped to ensure she wouldn't fall while crouched down & stayed on beat. 😳
