Beyoncé’s new country album, Cowboy Carter, is out March 29._  by [Moises Mendez](https://time.com/author/moises-mendez-ii/)  ## Moises Mendez Feb 12, 2024 3:14 AM UTC Beyoncé’s new country album, Cowboy Carter, is out March 29.  by [Moises Mendez](https://time.com/author/moises-mendez-ii/)  ## Moises Mendez Feb 12, 2024 3:14 AM UTC In the middle of the Super Bowl, [Beyoncé](https://time.com/6341171/beyonce-new-song-credits-renaissance-movie/) released two new singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages,” on Tidal and announced a new album that will be released on March 29. Beyoncé dropped the singles on Tidal after her Verizon commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl, appeared to tease new music. After the ad aired on Sunday, Beyoncé posted a video on Instagram featuring a snippet of new music with a country sound. At the end of the video, text appears that reads: “Act II, 3/29.” It seems safe to say that this could be a new album, as her 2022 project, _Renaissance_, was referred to as Act I. In the Verizon ad, Beyoncé appeared with Tony Hale, working to “break the internet” and Verizon through gradually bigger stunts. She opens up a lemonade stand (a nod to her 2016 album), drops a surprise (a reference to her 2013 self-titled album), and launches a Twitch stream, as well as BeyoncAI and BarBey. She also announces that she’s running for Beyoncé of the United States, before ending with a performance in space. The commercial ends with Beyoncé saying, “OK, drop the music.” Instantly, X was flooded with questioning fans trying to figure out what was going on and “Act II” and “Beyoncé” trending. > [](https://twitter.com/PopBase/status/1756866715030634742) ## Transcript [00:00] So I went to the Renaissance tour for time and she was sitting [00:04] on the piano and she was singing one plus one and she you know [00:10] glasses over if she catches my eyes. [00:14] She blows me a kiss. [00:16] As you continue singing that every time I think that while [00:24] she's giving me me and nothing she can't stop herself. [00:27] She just continues to just drive into work her work. [00:32] Ethic is just beyond anything because she's already accomplished [00:36] everything that anyone, you know, Tara comes but she just has [00:40] a love for her art and she has a love for her fans and [00:45] she appreciates the love that we give her and I think that that [00:49] the whole project has is just a huge Love Letter to to her fans [00:59] going to get the green in regards to what I guess people expect [01:10] her to do as a black person and as a black artist myself to [01:14] see Beyonce ever effortless. [01:16] Navigate these different mediums of music that we aren't typically [01:22] associated with most of the times were associated with R&B and [01:26] Hip Hop, which is not a bad thing. [01:28] But we started a lot of these other genres definitely [01:32] country music and so to see Beyonce navigate these other different [01:37] genres of music is very empowering for someone like to see Mom [01:42] and it's very inspiring for someone like me to see you also, [01:46] and you also know that I can do something like that for country [01:49] music. I'm very very excited in particular because country [01:53] music is very polarizing in America at times in regards to who [01:58] is considered to be the gatekeeper of for that particular [02:02] genre from the inside towards the outside unless country [02:07] music fit a specific format that they are comfortable [02:11] with but I love the fact that Beyonce's also paying tribute to [02:15] the country music. [02:16] People have fallen fallen in love with some challenging [02:20] it in ways that reflects really who she is and her personality [02:24] while also sort of being the bridge for this sort of return [02:31] for African-American individuals into the Forefront of country [02:37] music that is country album into that discussion really highlights [02:42] the entirety of African African American history when it comes [02:46] down to country music and that's what I'm excited about specific. [02:50] I'm already looking into getting a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. [02:54] I'm just going to be it's going to be you know, [02:56] the Yeehaw Somerset ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6693789/beyonce-super-bowl-act-2-texas-hold-em/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6693789/beyonce-super-bowl-act-2-texas-hold-em/"},"headline":"Beyoncé Drops New Singles, Announces Forthcoming Album Act II Following Super Bowl Verizon Commercial","datePublished":"2024-02-12T03:14:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-19T07:39:33.236Z","description":"Beyoncé released two new singles and announced a new album during the Super Bowl","url":"https://time.com/6693789/beyonce-super-bowl-act-2-texas-hold-em/","keywords":["Music","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7f077e6d8e906ce3/698a4869457a5223a8d68cf8/beyonce-super-bowl-new-music.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Moises Mendez","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/moises-mendez-ii/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7f077e6d8e906ce3/698a4869457a5223a8d68cf8/beyonce-super-bowl-new-music.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"66th GRAMMY Awards - Show","caption":"66th GRAMMY Awards - Show","creditText":"Kevin Mazur—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/music/","name":"Music"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6693789/beyonce-super-bowl-act-2-texas-hold-em/","name":"Beyoncé Drops New Singles, Announces Forthcoming Album Act II Following Super Bowl Verizon Commercial"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Beyoncé’s New Country Album","description":"Beyoncé’s new country album, Cowboy Carter, is out March 29.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/scIYubME/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-03-15T18:21:37.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/scIYubME.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/6693789/beyonce-super-bowl-act-2-texas-hold-em/","duration":"PT3M4S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/6693789/beyonce-super-bowl-act-2-texas-hold-em/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
