"Thank you for your patience during this time. We are setting the show and getting the floor ready to receive guests. Looking forward to a great show!"

The concert eventually started at around 10:15 p.m. CT. Beyonce started by saying:

"I'm so happy to be on the stage seeing all of your beautiful faces. Thank you for all your love even throughout the storm. Y'all are here. I am here, and we're going to have a good ol' time."

A fan, who attended the show, Damian Roa, said (via USA Today):

"It was quite a day but we made it! I know Beyoncé is a professional, so she would never cancel a show! I got my hat protector and poncho in case the rain would continue."

The iconic superstar will perform the Cowboy Carter concert at Soldier Field on May 17 and May 18 as well. She did five shows of the concert at the SoFi Stadium on April 28, May 1, May 4, May 7, and May 9.
