"Okay, they ready. Drop the new music," Beyonce said in the
Verizon commercial on Sunday, aired during the United States'
most-watched TV event.
Beyonce then posted a teaser video on Instagram previewing the
release of a new album, "act ii," on March 29. It would be the
second in a three-album project that kicked off with her 2022
critically acclaimed "Renaissance."
Her album announcement was followed by the release of two new
songs, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," which have already
soared to the top of music charts.
"Renaissance" and its singles earned Beyonce four Grammy Awards
last year, helping her break the record for the most career wins
with 32. Despite her success through the years, the 42-year-old
singer has never claimed the best album trophy.
Late last year, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce" premiered at
the top of the U.S. box office, marking the first time a movie
crossed the $20 million mark during the typically anemic first
weekend of December since 2003.
