exactly these are why i think she's touring for both Act II and Act III, and act III would be coming very soon

Exactly! It makes more sense to tour once the iii acts are out. Touring RNS was fine because it was kind of a standalone album, but touring CC feels incomplete.

[Calvin]

I think it's act iii

[Bethenny Frankel]

ngl I love Cowboy Carter but I will pass if its tour for it

[Taylor fanboy]

Time for Asia this time.

[everytime]

please don't pay australia dust this time queen 

[Starshine]

Make sure y'all ask your family for receiptS of the gifts y'all just got, returns usually extend far into January. 

[XDNA]

If it's a residency i'll have a reason to go to Vegas. If it's a tour I hope I can get tickets.

Her waiting 2 pay cycles into January is so strategic and iconic lmao

The Ken Kutaragi PS3 strategy.

it's holidays, everybody is broke. turn your brain ON

Announcing a tour doesn’t mean tickets go on sale immediately…

 

Also… plenty of people get gift cards/cash for Christmas so no, not everybody is broke. And even if they are, they most likely wouldn’t have any problem using a credit card.

given that this is an incredibly American album, are we expecting the tour to venture outside of the US?

There's literally a song on the album called Riverdance…

It has to be a tour announcement or visuals for CC, if it were act iii she wouldn't have used CC's aesthetic right?

[toast]

I feel like this is visuals. Assuming act iii is some kind of rock era, touring CC and act iii together seems like the best option.

No it has to do with the psychological aspects of it. The time frame from Black Friday until Christmas is the biggest spending period of the year, so people are usually more money conscious right after. It's just not an optimal time to have on sale dates until at least the new year (which is what she's doing). That's marketing 101

I wonder if she'll come to Australia since she's not been here since 2013 chile

Lol, it's really not. December 26 is one of the biggest shopping days of the year....

 

And, based on your analysis, is 3 weeks (1 paycheck later for most who are paid biweekly) really that far removed from the holidays that they're financially stable enough to make a big purchase? No.

 

I'm mildly curious about a rock album, so I'd rather her move onto that rather than drag CC out more. Very few people want that.

This is obviously the tour announcement. You guys still don't get how her mind works, lol:

1. Reneigh came out in July 2022 and its respective tour started in July 2023; CC Came Out in March 2024 and its tour will start in March 2025.
2. She will release act iii in 2026 with NO visuals and follow the same pattern of Album - Tour, and perhaps Tour Movie, until 2027.
3. We'll finally get the visuals for all acts and perhaps all the tour movies in streaming in 2028, released all at once or just a few months apart from each other, to keep the conversation going and keep shocking the world.

As "lame" and boring as you say this strategy is, it means we will have been experiencing a period of Beyoncé's creative and commercial dominion that started in 2022 and ended in 2028, with only 3 albums released during those 6 years, all of them so great, acclaimed and with a rollout so complex that they really won't age easily, will be impactful even years after their respective releases and will be looked back at as cultural phenomena, just like Thriller or The Dark Side of The Moon or at least that's what she's trying to achieve (and I mean they will be as culturally relevant as those albums, even if they don't end up selling as many copies as those ones). She works smarter, not only harder, that's why she doesn't release a 1000 versions of an album or doesn't do tons of promotion for them either.

 

PS: All the people saying a tour will be boring and will "flop", are just like the ones who were saying the same thing about the Reneigh World Tour, which sold out stadiums OUTSIDE of the US and is still the second highest-grossing female tour of ALL TIME, at almost 600M in revenue and just behind the iconic Eras Tour;  and this is just because Bey did only 56 dates, while Taylor did 149, meaning that Bey would have grossed 1.5 Billion if she had done the same number of dates and if we applied a rule of three to the equation.

 

She just doesn't try as hard anymore because she's already a mother and has all the success, acclaim, and respect she needs and wants, perhaps minus an AOTY award, but she'll always be iconic anyway, no matter what.

 

All the haters can seethe.

If it's a tour I feel like it would've been better to announce it right away, but who knows, maybe there's more  

[shark_heather]

I never understood the point of announcing an announcement 

 

And especially if we have to wait 3 whole weeks 🙄

This is Beyoncé lol. 

[Lorelei]

Why would her publicist deny these tour rumors only for her to announce a tour?

Announcing announcements is becoming too common and still very annoying. Just drop the news.

[ICLDXU4HS]

Giving a date like that feels like we're actually getting something substantial then so I don't think it's a tour announcement. She could have announced a tour after the performance and have it go on sale early January.
 

I think it's gonna be the lead single(s) and possibly release date/title of Act III. 
 

BMS was announced for midnight on a Tuesday (came out a little early on Tidal) and THE/16C came out on a Tuesday too.

[qegqeg]

Why would it be anything related to act III if she's wearing the cowboy aesthetic?
