She posted this on Instagram almost immediately after, announcing Act II along with two new songs called, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages."

It's been a while, so IDK if you remember, but back in 2022, Beyoncé announced that her critically acclaimed Renaissance album would be the first of three acts.

She didn't share further details at the time, but it sounds as if Act II will be a country album, which tracks with earlier reports.

Naturally, fans freaked out over the announcement and rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their excitement.
