Dear Gossips,

Images from Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER vinyl boxset are being shared online and by now we should all know… Beyoncé does not play when it comes to photo shoots. 

 

Here’s another spectacular image that could have been another cover for the album. 

 

And this is the “Jolene” page which, obviously, is Beyoncé giving Dolly: 

 

As for “II Most Wanted”, it’s B and Miley Cyrus, “always been country” from when they were kids. 

Will we ever get to see them perform this song live? Would we ever recover from a live performance of that song? 

 

Right now Beyoncé doesn’t seem to be thinking about performing. She’s just shared on her website a new set of photos of herself on holiday in the Hamptons, including one where she’s carrying one of the most coveted bags of the season: 

 

That’s from the Bottega Veneta Pre-Fall 2024 bandana foulard in red leather paisley, singled out by many as one of the highlights of the collection. I’m not really a bag girl but this bag is sick. 

Anyway, back to Beyoncé and her plans, if there are any plans. Because we’re really only three months into act ii, and just like act i there are no videos, so does that mean that all the visuals will be coming once act iii arrives…at some point… next year? She’s just sitting on a whole album and a vault of film footage or whatever, taking her sweet time with it, isn’t she? Time is the key here, and Beyoncé understands timing better than anyone else. 

It's always about mood. Remember she said that COWBOY CARTER was supposed to come first but with the pandemic and everything she put RENAISSANCE out instead because she wanted to give us some joy. What will the mood be, um, after this fall? And how will Beyoncé’s music, as it always does, meet the moment? 

 

Yours in gossip, 

Lainey
