BEYONCE laughed off an on-stage mistake during her sell-out performance in Edinburgh on Saturday.
The music megastar was performing to a crowd of more than 50,000 people in her first appearance in Scotland since 2003 when she slipped up during a performance of “HEATED”.
A song from her Renaissance album, which is also the name of her current world tour, HEATED makes multiple references to French fashion icon Coco Chanel.

But in performing the song on the stage at Murrayfield, Beyonce slipped and sang instead “Coco canal”.
The star giggled and stopped singing after the error, but the crowd kept on with the song regardless, waiting for her to rejoin them.
One fan wrote on Twitter after the mistake: “Beyoncé gagging herself after making a mistake with HEATED lyrics. Well, if Beyoncé said it’s ‘Coco Kernel’ then it’s Coco Kernel, period!”

The unofficial Renaissance World Tour fan account shared the video, writing: “Beyoncé has the cutest reaction to messing up the ‘HEATED’ verse tonight in Edinburgh”.
“Even her flops are legendary,” another fan added.
Beyonce praised the crowd at the Edinburgh show for bringing so much energy despite the heavy rainfall.
She said at the close of her performance that she “can’t wait” to come back to Scotland.
Wearing a black and yellow outfit seen as a nod to her “Queen B” nickname, Beyonce told the audience: “I hope tonight you guys are feeling joy and love! I hope y’all feel safe tonight! I hope y’all feel free and liberated!
“Thank y’all so much for being such an incredible audience in this rain! I love y’all!”
Fans of the singer hailed her as “a true class act” after the show, which they called a “once-in-a-lifetime experience”.
During the second UK show of her Renaissance world tour, she performed hit tracks from her dance music-focused seventh studio album including Alien Superstar and Cuff It.
The singer also dove into her back catalogue as she delivered powerful renditions of classic songs like Crazy In Love, Run The World (Girls), Partition and Love On Top.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
