Beyoncé surprised fans by teasing upcoming new music as she wowed in a Verizon Super Bowl ad — for which she reportedly received a $30 million payout — on Sunday.
The 42-year-old icon – who attended the big game along with other notable stars – moved through various characters in the minute-long commercial.
It comes after the phone company days earlier teased the singer’s appearance in the advert with two short pieces shared on social media.
In one clip, actor Tony Hale squeezed lemons behind a lemonade stand and said, “Wait, she wants me to squeeze all these lemons myself? This is better work.”
The clue was a reference to the pop star’s surprise 2016 visual album Lemonade.

And just like eight years ago, the Grammy-winning musician blew fans away on Sunday when she released two new singles.
While announcing an upcoming album, a country-genre follow-up to 2022’s Renaissance, she also released two new singles.
Along with the music came breathtaking works of art, including a very scantily clad Beyonce, who posed without pants.
In one snapshot, she put on a very busty display while wearing a silver hardware bra under a cropped black blazer.
She captioned it for her 319 million followers: “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARRIAGES out now.”
The 16 CARRIAGES artwork was a close-up black and white image of Beyonce – full name Beyonce Knowles Carter – in a black cowboy hat.
She rocked a voluminous and wispy bob hairstyle under the headpiece.
And the Houston, Texas native was dressed in a black cowboy shirt with studs around the collar.

Beyonce shared the full Verizon commercial online, writing in a caption, “@verizon #ad.”
She followed up the post with another video shot – one that showed her driving an old yellow taxi through a desert.
The Texas license plate on the vehicle read: “HOLD ‘EM.”
The scene began when Knowles turned the key in the ignition with a hand gloved in red fishnet.
The shot then switched to her hitting the gas as she wore a white sandal that showed a red pedicure.
Finally, a group of middle-aged men appeared, dressed in country-inspired attire, with bewildered expressions on their faces.
One pointed slowly toward a billboard, which showed an exaggerated caricature of Beyonce in red cowboy boots, lingerie and a cowboy hat.
As she lay on her side, she held up a waving hand, and in black letters against a yellow background were the words “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Bluesy guitar strums from the opening notes of her new song, played before the screen went black with ‘act ii, 3.29’ popping up in the same white font used to promote her hugely successful Renaissance album.

In the final scene, the star used a line that referenced her hit single Break My Soul, from Renaissance, before teasing at the end: ‘Okay, they’re done. Put on the new music!’
