Beyoncé may not be able to stop the rain, but she can single-handedly keep the subway trains running.
The superstar paid $100,000 to keep all 98 trains in the D.C. Metro system operating for an extra hour on Sunday after her latest Renaissance World Tour performance was delayed due to lightning and heavy rains. This was her second night performing at the FedEx Field in Maryland, roughly 11 miles east of Washington, D.C.
“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,” the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority said in a release.
