Beyonce surprised fans by teasing forthcoming new music as she stunned in a Verizon Super Bowl ad — for which she reportedly received a $30million payout — on Sunday.
The 42-year-old icon — who attended the big game alongside other notable stars — moved through various personas in the minute-long commercial, attempting to ‘break the internet’ with over-the-top performances.
It comes after days earlier the phone company teased the singer’s appearance in the advert with two brief bits shared on social media.
In one clip, actor Tony Hale squeezed lemons behind a lemonade stand and said: ‘Hold up, she wants me to squeeze all these lemons by myself? This better work.’
The clue was a reference to the pop star’s 2016 surprise Lemonade visual album.

And just like she did in eight years ago, the Grammy-winning musician blew fans away on Sunday as she dropped two new singles.
As she announced an upcoming album, a country-genre follow-up to 2022’s Renaissance, she also released two new singles in tandem.
Along with the music came breathtaking artwork, which included a very scantily clad Beyonce, who posed pantless.
In one snapshot, she put on a very busty display as she wore a silver hardware bra underneath a cropped black blazer.
The caption to her 319 million followers, she wrote, ‘TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARRIAGES out now.’
The 16 CARRIAGES artwork was a closeup black and white image of Beyonce — full name Beyonce Knowles Carter — in a black cowboy hat.
She rocked a voluminous and wispy bob haircut underneath the headgear.
And the Houston, Texas native was clad in a black cowboy shirt with stud detailing around the collar.

Beyonce shared the full Verizon commercial online and wrote in a caption, ‘@verizon #ad.’
She followed up the post with another video outtake — one that showed her driving an old yellow taxi car through a desert.
The Texas license plate on the vehicle read, ‘HOLD ‘EM.’
The scene opened with Knowles turning the key in ignition with a red fishnet gloved hand.
The shot then switched to her stepping on the gas while wearing a white sandal that showed off a red pedicure.
Eventually a group of late-aged men dressed in country-inspired attire appeared with baffled expressions on their faces.
One slowly pointed to a billboard, where an exaggerated caricature of Beyonce was seen in red cowboy boots, lingerie, and a cowboy hat.
While lying on her side, she held up one waving hand, and in black font against a yellow background were the words ‘Texas Hold ‘Em.’
Bluesy guitar strums from the first notes of her new song played before the screen went black with ‘act ii, 3.29’ surfacing in the same white font used to promote her wildly successful Renaissance album.
