Since it was first confirmed that we would be receiving more than one RENAISSANCE album from Beyonce, the BeyHive has been speculating what else the mother of three might have up her sleeve besides the disco deliciousness she delivered in 2023. We now know that she’s throwing her cowboy hat in the country ring next month with the arrival of Act II, and one of her lead singles, “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” has already claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 100.
Though we’re still waiting for plenty of details about the Southern-inspired project, people are already discussing Act III on social media. For the most part, there seems to be a division between those who are expecting rock-influenced music, a Destiny’s Child reunion, or a rap project in tandem with Jay-Z. Now that photos from Bey’s CR Fashion Book have made their way to us, even more people suspect she could be paying homage to the late Tina Turner, or even hitting the studio with Lenny Kravitz.

“I’m starting to think maybe ‘Act II’ is a double-sided album,” one Twitter/X theorized this week after seeing CR’s stunning snaps. “Me too, country and rock at the same time so ‘Act III’ can be the rap album we’ve been waiting for,” another agreed with them, hoping to see The Carters reunite after breaking the internet with their 2019 LP, Everything Is Love.
