LOS ANGELES—Beyoncé is full of surprises—and on Tuesday, March 12, dropped yet another one. Her forthcoming album has a name: “Act II: Cowboy Carter.”
The title was revealed on Bey’s official website, along with details on a few limited-edition CD, vinyl and box set releases.
“Act II: Cowboy Carter” arrives March 29.
Beyoncé first announced the news of her album last month after starring in a Verizon commercial during the Super Bowl that ended with the superstar saying, “Bey ready, drop the new music.” The main details about the release had been a cryptic Instagram video with country iconography appearing that teased “act ii” coming out in March. (Beyoncé’s 2022 album “Renaissance” is frequently referred to as “Act I: Renaissance.”)
Soon after, she released two new country tracks—”Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” Those releases made Beyoncé the first Black woman to top Billboard’s country music chart.
