As Beyonce continues her album rollout of act two of the Renaissance trilogy, Cowboy Carter, fans will definitely be keen to look into hidden meanings and inspiration in the country album and to scope out the singer’s current private life through the lyrics.In 2014, rumours began to surface stating that Jay-Z might have had an affair. However, it was after the huge Met Gala that year, that footage emerged of artist and Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, in an altercation with Jay-Z in a lift during the after party.
The release of the footage led to the family posting a statement about the incident: “There has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” it continued “Jay and Solange… have apologised to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”Both the sisters are accomplished musicians ( Image: Frank Micelotta/REX/Shutterstock)
In 2016, the ‘Halo’ singer’s sixth studio album, ‘Lemonade,’ was released exclusively onto the streaming platform, Tidal requiring a subscription to listen to the new project. Many fans and critics believe that this album was a ‘Cathartic release’ for Beyoncé as songs on the album were centred around adultery and forgiveness.
Additionally, it was also where the singer experimented with her sound as she delved into genres including Rock, Blues, and Country.
The song ‘Sorry,’ stood out amongst her fanbase the “BeyHive,” not only as a defiant break-up song but there was a figure described as “Becky with the good hair,” which left them trying to connect the dots to whom Beyoncé was referencing.

Following the release of the album, Jay-Z interviewed with The New York Times discussing pain and negative feelings: “The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.”
In the following year, the couple took to the road for the ‘On The Run II’ tour which kicked off in Wales. Consequently, the announcement of their joint album ‘Everything is Love,’ was announced during one of the shows in London.
In 2019, Disney released a remake of ‘The Lion King’ with Beyonce voicing Nala the Lion and creating the soundtrack to the film, featuring the likes of Pharrell Williams, Jessie Reyez, and Kendrick Lamar.
Recently, the couple were spotted at the SuperBowl earlier this year with their three children awaiting the premiere of Beyonce’s advertisement with Verizon and the surprise announcements of the singles ‘Texas Hold Em’ and ’16 Carriages,’ and the second act to the Renaissance trilogy ‘Cowboy Carter,’ a Country album to be released on March 29.
