Why yes, the beat did get sicker

Beyoncé sneezed on the 'Formation' tour and everyone lost it

Beyoncé continued her “Formation” tour on Tuesday night, playing the first of two sold-out nights at New York’s CitiField. Though she stayed close to script — running through highlights off Lemonade, covering “The Beautiful Ones,” and also playing Prince’s version of “Purple Rain” to honor the late singer’s birthday — one unexpected moment had fans elated: She sneezed.

Just before singing “Love On Top,” Queen Bey paused for a brief moment to let out a sneeze, causing the crowd to erupt in a joint “Bless you!” followed by cheers.

Beyond the sneeze, Beyoncé had another moment of impromptu crowd interaction on Tuesday night. She wished a fan happy birthday after spotting a sign in the audience.
