During Beyoncé’s concert at Maryland’s FedEx Field, the concertgoers, also known as the BeyHive, were faced with an unexpected and intense weather delay. As a severe storm, complete with lightning, surrounded the stadium, the concert organizers issued a shelter-in-place order for everyone attending the event. The stadium authorities quickly made an announcement via Twitter, urging fans to return to their cars if they were outside the gates or in the parking lot. Those already inside the stadium were instructed to take shelter under the covered concourse areas and ramps until the storm passed. This precautionary measure was taken to ensure the safety of all attendees.

As the storm raged on, fans anxiously waited for an update. During this time, many took to social media to share videos and express their frustration, with clips showing the chaotic scene of Beyoncé’s dedicated followers trying to stay dry while seeking shelter in the stadium. The storm led to a significant delay in the event, but after about two hours, the situation improved. The stadium’s administration eventually reassured fans that the weather had cleared up, announcing that the shelter-in-place order was lifted and attendees could return to their seats to continue enjoying the concert.

This wasn’t the first time Beyoncé’s fans had to endure weather-related delays. Back in 2016, a similar situation occurred at her Minneapolis concert, where fans had to wait through a storm before being allowed back into the venue. Despite the setbacks, Beyoncé’s loyal fans continued to show their support, staying patient until the storm passed and the concert could resume. The storm in Maryland, while disruptive, ultimately didn’t stop the concert from going on, and the BeyHive was able to enjoy the show once the weather cleared.
