Beyonce shared some unexpected news with fans following her sixth Cowboy Carter show at London 's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The diva, 43, is currently in the middle of the tour, which has so far drawn just as much praise as it has courted controversy.
The sluggish ticket sales across certain dates led some naysayers to believe that the Single Ladies hitmaker could be done with touring for the time being, but she put the rumors to rest after her final UK Cowboy Carter concert this week.
'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family,' she shared, before adding, 'Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!'
Fans on social media have erupted in excitement over the comment, with one writing, 'Again?!! Mother what you about to announce?!?'
Another commented, 'Oh so you're confirming another tour OK.'
A third wrote, 'Another tour confirmed already? HEARD YOU!!' while a fourth commented, 'Tour again?! Let's go!'
There has long been speculation that Beyonce's Renaissance and Cowboy Carter albums are part of a musical trilogy, and that the third act in the project will be a rock album.
This would presumably result in a third world tour following the success of the record-breaking Renaissance tour and the current Cowboy Carter tour.
Beyonce's groundbreaking series of UK concerts welcomed over 275,000 fans and grossed over £45 million (over $61 million USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history.
The star also now holds the all-time record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the most concerts performed by any artist.
Her Cowboy Carter Tour shows - held June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16 - surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
London isn't the only place that Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour has dominated.
After a rocky start that included sluggish ticket sales and technical difficulties, the Los Angeles leg of the tour earned Bey a record-setting $55.7 million from just five shows.
The songstress played five nights at L.A.'s SoFi Stadium, beginning April 28, with successive performances on May 1, 4, 7, and 9.
According to Billboard, she sold 217,000 tickets and now holds the biggest reported single-venue engagement of 2025 so far, surpassing Shakira and Coldplay.

It's also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, behind two legs of U2's Sphere residency in Las Vegas, Harry Styles' 15 shows at Madison Square Garden in New York, and eight nights of UK boy band band Take That at Wembley Stadium in London.
For a female artist, it's the highest-grossing reported single-venue engagement ever by a woman.
It's a far cry from the weeks leading up to the Cowboy Carter tour, which initially had large sections of unsold seats - which is almost unheard of for a star of Beyonce's calibre.
At one point, interest in the tour was so low that resale seats in the nosebleed section were going for as cheap as $20.
Some fans later complained that they'd forked out full price for floor seats, only to see tickets slashed considerably right before the tour kicked off due to slow sales.
There were also a number of shocking technical difficulties, most notably on the second night of Bey's SoFi Stadium run.
