Beyoncé fans experienced an unexpected 10-minute pause during her latest Renaissance World Tour stop Thursday night in Glendale, Arizona, after the audio suddenly cut out.

Per social media reports, including the fan account Beyoncé Legion, the "entire sound system failed" during Beyoncé's rendition of "Alien Superstar," which incidentally begins with lyrics including, "The DJ booth is conducting a troubleshoot test of the entire system."

"Beyoncé and her dancers have left the stage," wrote the fan account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, alongside a picture of the empty stage.

X account Pop Base shared a video of the moment the sound cut out, at which point the crowd collectively gasped.

After 10 minutes of silence, it seems Beyoncé returned to the stage in what appears to be a brand new outfit — a metallic silver dress with large wings — and started the song over.

"Beyoncé is THEE preeminent entertainer," fan account Beyoncé Legion wrote on X. "Nothing can stop her!"

Fans were quick to praise the "Cuff It" singer for her recovery following the audio mishap.

"I am at Beyonce in Phoenix and the music cut out. Not ONE dancer stopped," wrote on fan on X. "They kept going until they were told to stop. This is the shit we train for. I'm so proud of them and hoping their teachers see this tweet."

"Beyoncé having audio issues then comes back out with a brand new outfit queen," wrote another.

One fan described the break in the show as the "longest 10 minutes of my life."
