The Destiny's Child reunion at Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour almost broke the internet — but Michelle Williams was worried it would break something else.

In a new solo episode of the podcast *Checking In w/ Record Breakers*, Williams opened up about her (very relatable) concern that she would fall on stage. This is, she explained, largely because she fell on national television back in 2004 when Destiny's Child promoted their final studio album on BET music show *106 & Park*.

"I was trying to stay focused because y'all know I still have trauma from falling on *106 & Park*," she told listeners. "I need y'all to be my therapist about that too, because every time I perform with the girls, it's in my head: 'Do not fall, do not fall, do not fall.'"

To help, Williams said she even enlisted former Destiny's Child stylist Ty Hunter to cut the fringe off the bottom of her pants. Joking that Hunter is "such a butthole at times," she said that Hunter took her request to the head of wardrobe for the Cowboy Carter tour.

"Ty Hunter is like, child, we got to cut these fringes off because we do not want Michelle to fall," she recalled. "I was like, 'Bro, that was between me and you. You didn't have to make no announcement.' But yeah, that's still in my head. Steps do frighten me now."

Even still, because of that fear, she said she rehearsed the steps for the Destiny's Child reunion between her and former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé, but she still let it get inside her head.

"Did I rehearse them steps? Sure did," she said. "And then when it came to I was like, oh my gosh, you dummy. You let fear or lack of trust [in] on that first step, because y'all, I was like, I'm not gonna let social media do me. I'm not. Because if that were to happen, and I fell, I would not be able to live that down for the next 20 years. So that's probably the only thing I didn't like, was that I didn't trust the steps."

The reunion in question happened July 26, replacing the dancers ballroom dance solos at Bey's closing night performance at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium. The singer disappeared beneath the stage as "Independent Woman" blasted over the speakers. When she reemerged, fans were shocked to see a silhoutte of Beyoncé with Williams and Rowland on each side, striking a Charlie's Angels pose.

"Destiny's Child, bitch," Queen Bey told the crowd as they strutted down the walkway. Together, the group then performed their 2005 hit "Lose My Breath." Rowland and Williams also stuck around to help Bey out with her *Renaissance* song "Energy." The trio also performed their 2001 anthem "Bootylicious."

Her fear of falling aside, Williams said she ultimately loved the experience and had no regrets. "We turned into little girls again, them teenage girls, those younger girls who just wanted to sing, dance and travel the world. And Beyoncé was like, 'Y'all, let's have fun. We just gonna go out here and have fun. Whatever happens happens, but we're gonna have fun.'"

She continued, "I knew we were gonna have fun. We always have fun. But when you come from Destiny's Child, and then when you see the level of excellence that Beyoncé performs at, you step it up, right?"

The onstage reunion between the trio was the first to occur since Beyoncé brought the ladies out for her 2018 Coachella performance, in which they sang several of their beloved hits.
