Moments after the Verizon ad spot aired, “Beyonce” became a top trending topic in the United States as fans were rushing to her page for new music.
WASHINGTON — Beyoncé is…. Back?
After a Verizon commercial starring Beyoncé aired during the Super Bowl ended with the superstar saying, “They ready, drop the new music,” the question became — was she serious? Later, a cryptic Instagram video with country iconography appeared on her page, teasing “act ii” on March 29.
It appears on her official website as well. Under the “music” tab, two titles are listed — potentially referring to new song titles. They are “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”
At the end of the clip, a plucky acoustic guitar riff plays, and Bey’s unmistakable voice kicks in. She sings, “This ain’t Texas / Ain’t no hold ’em / So lay your cards down down down,” in a Southern twang.
Beyoncé’s 2022 album “Renassiance” is frequently referred to as “Act I: Renaissance.”
Moments after the Verizon ad spot aired, “Beyonce” became a top trending topic in the United States as fans were rushing to see where the new music had launched.
Fans were sent into a frenzy online as they scoured the internet to find the new music announced.
“WHERE’S THE NEW MUSIC?!?!” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“BEYONCÉ WHERE DO WE NEED TO GO,” another fan wrote on X.
“Dropped music. Broke the internet. But not the network,” Verizon tweeted after the announcement on Beyonce’s Instagram.
Beyoncé was also shown soon on the telecast soon after at Allegiant Stadium watching the Super Bowl with husband Jay-Z.
Last year, Beyonce broke the record for the most decorated artist in Grammy Award history. The “Break My Soul” singer has a total of 32 Grammys.
