Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter momentarily brought herself down to the level of a mere mortal during the first of two sold-out Formation Tour shows at New York City’s Citi Field on Tuesday, June 7. Beyonce breezed through her setlist in traditional fashion, taking fans through most of Lemonade and her hit-studded discography, and covering “The Beautiful Ones” in honor of the late Prince‘s birthday, but one unscheduled moment threw the crowd into a frenzy: She unexpectedly sneezed right before jumping into “Love On Top.”
The entire stadium said “Bless you!” and cheered at this cute turn of events. Fans on Twitter lamented the lack of a video that would prove the one and only Beyonce could be troubled by a stuffed nose.
