Will Beyoncé's 'Act III' rock the music world? Fans weigh in

As speculation swirls around Beyoncé's 'Act III', fans wonder if it will reclaim rock music or feature a Destiny's Child reunion following the 'Cowboy Carter' tour. Image: Instagram/@Beyonce Now that the 'Cowboy Carter' tour has wrapped up, the Beyhive, as Beyoncé fans are known, is buzzing with speculation about what the final act of Beyoncé's trilogy album will sound like. Will she go back to where it all began and bring back Destiny's Child? Or will she channel the iconic Betty Davis on what may be her rock album? In 2022, Beyoncé released 'Renaissance', her seventh studio album, marked as 'Act I' of a mysterious trilogy. After announcing it at the Super Bowl in 2024, Beyoncé released 'Act II', later revealed to be titled 'Cowboy Carter'. With two acts already under her belt, the highly anticipated final act is the only one left to complete the trilogy It has been reported that Beyoncé's trilogy aims to highlight the black roots of various genres. With 'Renaissance', she celebrated the early 90s Chicago dance and house music, while through 'Cowboy Carter', she paid homage to country music's black roots. Given this pattern, fans speculate that the final act might explore rock and roll, fuelled by subtle hints and easter eggs in the project's visuals, which fans have also brought to light. On July 26, Beyoncé treated her fans to a surprise mini Destiny's Child reunion as she wrapped up her record-breaking 'Cowboy Carter' tour in Las Vegas, and fans loved every moment of it. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyoncé on stage, and the crowd erupted in excitement as the trio strutted onto the stage in shimmery gold outfits. Since then, the speculation has been that their surprise appearance may be another hint at what's to come in 'Act III'. While Beyoncé has not disclosed the genre for 'Act III', fans are speculating that she will reclaim rock music, following the pattern of 'Renaissance' reclaiming dance music and 'Cowboy Carter' reclaiming country. If true, she would likely pay tribute to the black pioneers who helped shape the genre, much like she did in the first two acts. Additionally, Beyoncé has been fueling the speculation about 'Act III' potentially being a rock album, having dressed up as rock legends Betty Davis and Prince for Halloween 2024. Based on a pattern, fans are speculating about the release date for 'Act III'. Noticing that both 'Renaissance' and 'Cowboy Carter' dropped on a Friday the 29th, X user @r0cktails pointed out the potential significance of this date for the trilogy's final instalment. The pattern reveals that 'Renaissance' dropped on July 29, 2022, and 'Cowboy Carter' on March 29, 2024, with both releases strategically timed to fall on a Friday, a common day for new music drops. Since the next Friday will fall on May 29, 2026, fans are speculating that 'Act III' will land on this date.
