The latest stop in the global Renaissance Tour was struck with disaster when horrible weather conditions forced attendees to seek shelter at the venue.
Beyoncé's smash world tour hit up the FedExField in Summerland, Maryland, five miles east of Washington DC on Sunday, July 6, but a bout of stormy weather proved problematic.
The show was initially delayed due to the rain, which set off the fixed schedules for last trains out of the venue, but the singer, 41, made a generous donation to ensure her fans would be safe and sound.
As weather conditions got more intense, attendees were forced to seek shelter at the venue, but Metrorail announced on social media that thanks to Beyoncé funding $100,000, last trains out were extended by an hour.
The statement shared by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority read: "Due to inclement weather that may delay the start of tonight's Renaissance World Tour at FedExField, Metro will extend the last train by an extra hour beyond the extended closing previously announced. The extended time means the #BeyHive can stay for the 'Party' and still get home on Metro."
It explained: "The additional hour will be funded by the Tour to cover the $100,000 cost to run more trains, keep all 98 stations open for customers to exit, and other operational expenses."
