Last night may or may not have marked the beginning of a new era for Beyoncé, whose internet presence is generally pretty sparing and limited to periodic Instagram posts that, like her music, always leave us wanting more.
Given the superstar's relatively low-key social media history, the possibility that Bey could be making additional appearances online some time soon is very exciting. And it looks like she just joined TikTok yesterday.
Fans quickly spotted the TikTok profile and turned to Twitter with tons of speculation about whether Beyoncé's apparent introduction to the video-sharing platform — where she's provided inspiration for a number of viral dance trends — means there's new music headed our way.
Beyoncé’s new music is on the way!!! Beyoncé on TikTok! She’s coming!!!
Beyoncé invented tiktok videos, it was only right for her to join. The tour dance break challenges bout to eat now!!!!
Either that, or we're in for some short-form advertisements tied to her Ivy Park brand, which Beyoncé and her daughters also promoted recently on IG.
Beyoncé waking up to 1 million followers on TikTok knowing damn well she’s only releasing an Ivy Park teaser:
There are big things happening in Beyoncé's music career right now though, as she and her husband, Jay-Z, are respectively nominated for Best Original Song at the upcoming Critics Choice Awards in January.
Plus, Bey hinted at other projects in the works during an interview with Harper's Bazaar over the summer. "I've been in the studio for a year and a half," she said. "Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies."
