Beyoncé’s Performance Didn’t Cause Power Shortage
“Lights out!!! Any questions??” Bey’s husband Jay-Z tweeted when half of the stadium went dark. Many people were quick to point out that Beyoncé’s extravagant show could have caused the shortage, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and some local officials have spoken out to say it was not Queen B’s fault.
In fact, officials were warned that this could have happened months ago.
The Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District tested the Superdome electrical feeders, and they were shown to have “some decay and a chance of failure.” They released a statement providing this information on Oct. 15, reports the New York Post.
Entergy New Orleans, the energy supplier to the Superdome, “had concerns regarding the reliability of the Dome service from Entergy’s connection point to the Dome,” the statement says.
Furthermore, and most importantly, Beyoncé’s show was powered by generators and not the house system.
So there we have it, Beyoncé did not cause the power cut. Metaphorically however, she blew the stadium down!
