im not expecting anything tonight...if she drops it won't be with everyone else.

BMS came out on a monday, and Texas & 16C came out on a sunday.

Either Friday or Monday/Tuesday is my guess

I have to say the run up to any Beyoncé album release is always some of my favorite times on social media. The memes make me cackle

The way twitter is convinced that bey is dropping a single tonight is annoying because no one said that lmaoo. I like to dabble in delulu but hate when everyone else is worse than me…

We know it's not coming tonight but it's fun to be excited 🤭🤭

wait people were actually expecting a release tonight?! at MOST I expect a cryptic clue/announcement

I'm waiting for LEGION to give a sign...

Honestly, the Hive is weak sauce this time. Usually I get hyped by the theories and possessed by the Delulu, but this time I'm not even moving. Who even thought something was coming tonight? Looking at everything and anything and coming up with a prediction for basically every Friday or semi-important date or full moon is weak ****.

Only May 29th carries some weight cuz it is after her 'comeback' with MET and is on the only Friday on a 29th (and the other two were released on a 29th). And even that is like... 29th might have been a coincidence, nothing is holding B to follow it with the 3rd release.

Lettuce see. Maybe it is also harder to fall for these after so many years of nonsense. Still, pre Beyoncé album times are fun

I knew nothing was coming! Let's go to sleep behive!

Well…..that was fun….

Same time next week darlings?

Lady Gaga releasing a video on Monday, Ariana anouncing an album with no single on Tuesday, Sabrina and Madonna releasing a single on Thursday and Taylor Swift releasing a soundtrack song on a Saturday. What happens on Friday?

nothing

The May 1st theories never made sense to be fair

there's no way she's not doing anything this weekend. I refuse to believe it

05/01

05/07

05/29

It aint over till its over. 2 more dates to go.

Hive to Yvette this week

Imagine if Yvette was completely right...

I personally really dont think anything is happening before or during the MET. Our insider who heard sth about 05/07 seems to be way more textbook Bey:

• You have the building anticipation

• The event itself where fans believe sth will coincide

• The "let down" of no new music, but happy cause she (hopefully) slayed the event

• A couple of days later on a random Thursday the "gotcha" moment while shes still the talk of the town

Y'all can pretend 5.01 was never a thing all you want, but she didn't start the era with her hands on 51 in the Renaissance release video, end the ITG visuals at 1.51, reference it in a Levi's ad, film a clock at 5.01, and post a still of Hold Up at 5.01 for no reason. Either something comes today or something went wrong like that journalist posted about last month.

Im not buying she planned a May 1st release regarding Act3 4(!!!) or even 5 years ago. I know on paper it seems very plausible, but that feels like a stretch to me.

Maybe we don't understand B the same. She doesn't play such trivial 'games' of hinting, that too years in advance. And don't come and say stuff like she posted lemons on her insta months before lemonade - that is not this insane 51 type hinting. Also, who told ya'll to turn 51 into the date 5/1? Some things are coincidences. Why are you removing the 1 from the 1:51 time stamp?

That same 51 from the teaser was used to make Area 51 theories for a whole year. A whole concept of visuals and dozens of hints feeding into it. What did we get? Nothing yet. The Levi's ad film could be everything from a coincidence to her playing on the 51 theme from the teaser, or to hype Delulu's into more theories. It doesn't mean it is some grand plan that she has had for years. B releases stuff when she's ready and is open to changing things at any moment. Hell, CC changed the album covers and its NAME, and had a messy rollout, even with the songs that finally ended up on the album. Imagine how last-minute that was.

Does B throw hints? Yes. Does her team like to play on the chatter to mess with us and generate more hype? Yes.

Do we need to play the insane (Taylor) level of Sherlock Holmes for every frame, post, angle, and whatnot? Nope.

We are all expecting and anticipating something, but this 5/1 is a bridge too far. At least it is for me. I didn't move. Next week or 29th May? Sure. I am expecting something post-MET Gala.

Let's see how they play this

to think some of y'all stayed up for nothing lol

These same ppl in this thread who are acting like May 1 never made any sense would be on some, "it was right there the entire time " had she actually released tonight

You are THE HEAT baby
