Overview
- Beyoncé, who co-chaired the Met Gala on Monday, flashed a “rock on” hand sign on the museum steps, which many fans read as a hint that an “Act III” release could lean rock.
- Beyoncé has not announced a new project or confirmed details, and her longtime publicist Yvette Noel-Schure has refuted specific claims about a Met Gala rollout or a completed album.
- An official post on Beyoncé’s website featuring a vintage clip of Stevie Nicks with Destiny’s Child has been cited by fans as a possible nod to rock influences.
- Supporters point to earlier signals to bolster the rock theory, including a 2024 Halloween look as Betty Davis, a 2025 Levi’s “Denim Cowboy” campaign, and Cowboy Carter merch described as “a little rock ’n roll.”
- Fans are parsing visuals and timing because Beyoncé has a history of surprise releases, so speculation persists even without confirmation.
