Beyoncé’s fans in Washington D.C. faced a major storm before her live performance at FedEx Field. The singer, in return, spent a significant amount of money to ensure their safe transportation home after the show.
The concert was scheduled to start when lightning storms and heavy rain hit the area, forcing everyone to seek shelter. Beyoncé’s fans, known as the Beyhive, waited for approximately two hours in and around the stadium for the weather to improve. Videos captured the massive crowd huddled together patiently.
Finally, the weather subsided enough for the show to begin. However, it was still quite wet during the performance. Despite the delay, Beyoncé delivered an unforgettable performance on stage, braving the challenging weather conditions.
An important consequence of the delayed start was the need to extend the local Metro’s train service hours. This extension comes at a high cost, which someone had to cover. Fortunately, Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ tour company took responsibility for this expense, spending a total of $100,000. As a result, the trains at 98 surrounding stations ran for an additional 60 minutes, possibly into the early hours of Monday morning.
