Beyoncé's performance during weekend 2 of Coachella featured the performer trying to pick up her sister Solange but accidentally dropped her instead.

The sisters were doing their dance-off to "Get Me Bodied" when Bey accidentally dropped Solange, falling over herself in the process.

The moment was adorable as the duo rolled on the stage laughing and then continued performing on stage.

"Give it up for my sister!" she told the audience.

This past weekend's snafu was a minor glitch in two weekends of powerful performances.

Fans on Twitter reacted to the sisters falling with humour and support. One fan said that Bey and Solange falling was "brilliant choreography."

Another Twitter user said, "I don't know if I relate so hard to anything but Beyoncé trying to pick up Solange and both of them falling."

One fan asked how the sisters "make falling over look so cute?"

Aside from the clumsy moment, Bey's set proved to be entertaining, reuniting with Destiny's Child once again and performing alongside J Balvin for "Mi Gente," which she played without him during weekend one.

She made history this year by being the first black woman to headline in Coachella's history.
