Fans figured out something was amiss when the credits began to roll and Bey and Jay remained on stage.

Thanks to the several stage hands, both were eventually ushered safely backstage, according to fan video.

It's not the first time Beyoncé and her team had to use some quick thinking to keep a live show on track.

She recently avoided a wardrobe malfunction during her performance at Coachella back in April. And remember that time back in 2013 when she sang while her bodyguard, Julius, pulled her hair out of a fan's hands?

Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z will continue their \"OTR II\" tour, hitting the U.S. starting July 25.
