The post's first image showed Beyoncé on a gorgeous beach, wearing a brown jumpsuit with a matching belt. She's holding on to lemons and a bottle of SirDavis Whiskey, the brand she made in partnership with Moët Hennessy, making a celebratory face. She completed the look with a yellow flower crown. 

"Cheers to ten years! With love and deep gratitude," she captioned the post. 

Her followers were quick to share their theories regarding her upcoming "Act III," the expected conclusion to her trilogy album, which has been met with great success over the past few years. Two records have come out, "Renaissance" and "Cowboy Carter," with her touring them both in places all over the world.

Beyoncé has been making music over the past couple of years, winning Grammys and going on world tours. "Cowboy Carter," released in 2024, took home the best album of the year, a recognition that Beyoncé had never achieved in her towering career.

“This album took over five years,” she said of the record in a press release. “It’s been really great to have the time and the grace to be able to take my time with it. I was initially going to put Cowboy Carter out first, but with the pandemic, there was too much heaviness in the world. We wanted to dance. We deserved to dance. But I had to trust God’s timing.”

She also shared a look at her process, which relies on experimentation. “I enjoy being open to have the freedom to get all aspects of things I love out, and so I worked on many songs. I recorded probably 100 songs. Once that is done, I am able to put the puzzle together and realize the consistencies and the common themes, and then create a solid body of work.”

She concluded the press release by calling the album some of the best music she's ever made.
