The chart-topping singer, who will perform three shows at Auckland's Vector Arena in October, later hopped on Instagram to joke about the incident.
"Gravity can't begiiiiiiiin to pull me out of the fan again. I felt my hair was yankiiiiiiiin, she wrote, reworking the lyrics to Halo. "From the fan that's always hatiiiiiiiin," the handwritten note read.
"I got snatched! Goodnight All, B."
A source later revealed to Us Weekly: "Bey's hair got caught in the fan because she went downstage to an area she normally doesn't go for a fan.
"There was a girl in the front who was holding up a sign with a bucket list on it of all the things she wanted to do with her life. It was things like 'graduate from college' and all the boxes were checked except the last one, which was 'Sing With Beyonce!'.
The source added: "Beyonce was so moved she went down into the pit to sing Halo with the girl to give her her final wish. She wasn't even thinking of the fan - she was focused on the girl she was trying to do something nice for and it was unprompted. It really came from a good place."
What a trouper!
