We are just days away from Beyoncé‘s hotly anticipated eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter. And as Bey is known to be protective of her art, the Beyhive is abuzz, as they wait for more details. Ahead of the album, Bey teased that she “collaborated with some brilliant artists,” however, has not revealed which artists, nor has she shared the names of any tracks, other than the previously released “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”
But now, fans are theorizing that one of Bey’s previous collaborators may appear on Cowboy Carter.
In the days leading up to Cowboy Carter, Little Monsters and members of the Beyhive have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to theorize that Lady Gaga and Beyoncé may have recorded another collaboration.
The two previously collaborated on a remix of “Video Phone” from Bey’s 2008 album I Am…Sasha Fierce and “Telephone” from Gaga’s 2009 album The Fame Monster. The video for “Telephone” premiered in March of 2010, and ended with a screen reading “To be continued.”
