The Beyhive (the name of Beyonce's dedicated fandom) are awake!
It's been a monumental last two years for Beyoncé and her army. To start, 2023 saw the Rennaisance Tour, an ode to dance and electronic music. This year saw the return of the hoedown through down with The Cowboy Carter Tour, championing all things country, with Queen B in her element. She even involved children Blue Ivy Carter, and Rumi Carter. Cowboy hats and boots saw a rise in sales for sure!
Just when you thought Beyoncé would be taking a break after her record breaking tour, speculation is rife with whispers of the third act of to her trilogy coming soon. Here's everything we know...
On 4 August the internet went into a frenzy after Levi's posted a brand-new ad featuring Beyoncé, titled the Denim Cowboy. Concluding her year-long REIIMAGINE partnership with the famous denim brand, the ad ties together the eras that Beyoncé has embarked on.
The ad starts with Beyoncé riding a horse wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and a cowboy hat. By the end, Beyoncé drops the cowboy hat and ends up in a bedazzled denim two-piece set and rides off on a motorcycle. According to Beyhive intel, this moment is symbolic and potentially alludes to the next act... Act III.
What Is Beyoncé's Act III?
The Hive have been quick to claim that the Levis ad could be a major hint into the next chapter for Beyoncé's music. Fans are under the impression that the removal of the cowboy hat and leaving on a motorbike means that a rock album could be on the cards.
Is Beyonce making a rock album?
In act ii, Beyonce became the first Black woman to top the Hot Country Songs chart with hit track, 'Texas Hold Em'. Ever since then fans believe rock to be the obvious next step.
Rumours first began when Beyonce posted photos from her shoot the CR Fashion Book 2024 Issue, promoting her haircare line Cécred. In the images she sports a mullet, and wears a ripped tee and a black corset. Very rock n' roll!
Before act i's Lemonade album, Beyoncé was seen posing with lemons, so look out for the signs while we sit patiently waiting to see if the theories are true.
