The rumor is true.
After making an appearance with her husband as he accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at this year's Grammys with blonde hair and dressed up in a cowboy hat and bolo tie, buzz started that Beyoncé was up to something. It started with the speculation that she was about drop new music and it would be country & western influenced.
And during one of the biggest sporting events in the country, Beyoncé confirmed this with a commercial during Super Bowl LVIII that "Renaissance Act II" is on the way (March 29th to be exact) and the album will feature country music. The two songs that were released are "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages". There is certainly some twang to these tracks from the vocals and instrumental arrangement, but Beyoncé has clearly put her own soulful spin on them, opening them up to people who say they hate this genre of music.
I admit I'm not the biggest country music fan, but I am also very intrigued by what Queen Bey has done and really like what I've heard so far.
