Beyonce fans have been left bewildered as they tuned in to watch a clip from the opening night of her Renaissance tour.
The 41-year-old singer kicked off her world tour on Wednesday night at Stockholm's Friends Arena and later took to Instagram to share a montage of clips showing off her performance.
Queen Bey dazzled in a series of extravagant outfits as she put on an incredible show, but those watching at home had to do so in silence.
The video was completely muted, without warning, and fans quickly took to the comments to share their confusion.
"But the sound?!! Not me turning my volume up," one person wrote. Another said: "I even restarted my phone because I thought I had a sound issue."

A fourth fan commented: "Not me thinking my phone speaker is broken and the swiped to the next video and almost dropped my phone with the sound fully on. Bey you did me good."
Other fans ignored the lack of sound and went wild for Beyonce's outfits.
One person wrote: "You look absolutely stunning!"
Another said: "Omg this is fire," while a third person commented: "The fits omggggg."

In one part, the superstar was suspended in mid-air as she sat on top of a gigantic glistening horse and was lowered to the stage.
Another clip showed her surrounded by a group of dancers as they busted some energetic moves.
The world tour began this week to promote Beyonce's album of the same name which she released last summer. It was the first album she dropped since Lemonade in 2016.

She will then head to Toronto in July, before returning to the United States, visiting cities such as Los Angeles, Nashville and Las Vegas.
The tour is expected to gross up to $2.4billion (£1.9billion) in ticket sales alone, meaning Beyonce is set to make more than half a billion more than Taylor Swift on her Eras tour.
The estimates, which were reported by Forbes, are based on the most optimistic assumptions regarding the number of fans purchasing tickets, the high ticket prices and the amount of merchandise sold at each gig.
