Why couldn't she post this earlier today. I hate ha sometimes 

This! How tacky and unprofessional. She knew the media and everyone was discussing her announcement and could have said anything. Her PR team sucks as well.

It was definitely a tour, @Nazareth any tea on dates, cities, countries?

I totally get the decision but waiting until the exact second to postpone is…a mess

The only excuse I can think to give her is she knew all eyes would be on her at this moment, and they're directing everyone to BeyGood.

 

On the other hand, it kinda feels like another slap in the face to the Hive

I'm gonna kill myself

I wish she just didn't say anything. The eat the rich club is gonna drag her to hell and back for basically saying thoughts and prayers and help donate here. If The Rock can get it she will get it x10. 

Twitter Hive is dragging her left and right

 

But yeah this confirms a tour imo. It'd look bad to post dates of a city that's on fire knowing she's gonna charge 1.5x what she charged us for Renaissance with her greedy ass.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but beyond the fact she postponed it, I think it's a tour or live component because she specifically says "The January 14th announcement."  If she were dropping a single, it wouldn't be an announcement..  it'd just be a drop.

Renaissance had an announcement before Break My Soul came out.  Texas and 16 Carriages came with an act ii announcement too. Doesn't rule out anything tbh.

Yeah, there was definitely something off about you and this just confirms it.  See ya.

She was buying TikTok but Elon outbid her. That was the initial announcement. 

The Stade de France dates are true so yeah...i get it

Okay, so call her a ***** or something.  Still a bridge too far in my opinion, but do you realize how bizarre it is to ask for her and her family to burn in a fire?  We all live to drag her once and awhile, but some things are too far even in the name of online trolling.

Same 

 

They are seriously so annoying. Everyone was wondering if it was going to be postponed but since they never said anything and waited until the literal announcement day to speak is really irksome. Parkwood and beylegion always get indignant with hive when it's their poor management.

Okay I agree,

 

I take back what I said.

i'm sorry everyone I was just really pissed off and popped off at the mouth :(

Back to Surprise it is....

I respect her decision but to wait until the 14th is ANNOYING. She should've at least said "announcement will be coming next week due to the devastation of the wildfires". Or something to ease it a lil. But now we really will never know and it's just gonna be a surprise. (Which is lowkey a gag lol).

What later date? 

The originator of the visual album format, and the preeminent visual artist, decided to lead without visuals giving fans the opportunity to be limitless in their expansive listening journey.   It is a chance again to be listeners and not viewers, while taking in every gem of the pristine production.   While "Break My Soul," the first single, arrived with a minimal lyric video, the release of RENAISSANCE sans visuals is another culture-shifting move from the artist who has defined an era with reinvention.

 

While the visuals are scheduled for a later date, the album comes with a robust menu of formats giving music fans and collectors plenty to choose.  The music store on Beyoncé's website offers album merch and multiple configurations of RENAISSANCE, listing a CD, digital album, a limited-edition vinyl, launch with a bit of her signature mystery, that is now sold out, and four box sets, Pose 1 to 4, which include a t-shirt and CD in a special box, also all sold out, before fans were given the descriptions of the content. The breakout single, "Break My Soul," comes as a digital single and is also available in a capella and instrumental versions.

 

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it's Act iii announcement.

 

This video compiles all the theories into one: 

TLDR: The teaser represents the end of Act ii (CC). In the teaser she's putting down the flag (which represents the end of a rodeo), the lighting it dark as in lights out", the horse is transitioning in color (legs are black). 
 

Theres also some theories in there about how she's been teasing each element of the Acts since Renaissance and each alternative cover of each album has Easter eggs.

 

The idea of each era being represented by a metal: Renaissance (silver), Cowboy Carter (gold), Act iii (bronze) 

 

All the way to ppl saying Act iii isn't even rock and instead a tribute to her creole roots.

 

Really interesting theories in there

 

Spoiler

But could also be over analyzing so take it with a grain of salt.

Let em know, sister.

If it's a tour, I genuinely hope that the plans are massively affected to the point that the tour may even be cancelled. This is simply not the right time to tour with everything our country is facing politically and economically. Especially not only two years after your last tour with an album you let bomb. I am praying for the downfall of this tour. Maybe she will shift the announcement to be act iii related now and do the tour next year.

I'm probably thinking way too far but I wonder if on tour she'll sing "Wildfire burnt his house down" line

All my hype evaporated but I'm not mad at her.  I'm resigned to a tour I probably won't get to go to and if it's anything else that'll just be a pleasant surprise
