Beyoncé surprise drops two new songs following her appearance in Super Bowl ad

Fans thought that Beyoncé had hinted at plans to release new music in a Super Bowl ad, but it turns out she went ahead and dropped it.

The Verizon ad which aired just after halftime, featured the pop superstar attempting and failing to "break the internet," before saying at the very end of the ad "okay they ready, drop the new music."

Her two new songs, 16 Carriages and Texas Hold 'Em are now available on streaming service Tidal and are said to be released on all streaming platforms after the game.

She also announced that her new album Act II will be released on March, 29.

She announced the new drop in the Verizon Super Bowl ad which started with the her filming a music video, before being handed her phone.

Having supposedly "broke the internet" with leaked footage of the music video, Beyoncé then says, "it's coming in hot," to which her manager replies, "well it's Verizon 5G, the network is incredibly powerful."

The singer then embarks on a mission to prove that she can indeed break the internet.

The minute-and-a-half ad takes us through several of Beyoncé's eras, as she tries to prove that she can, in fact, take down the Verizon network.

We see her as a Twitch streamer with the username IamSlayoncé, a robot named Beyonc-AI, and as a star in the Bar-Bey movie.

She then goes on to announce her run for "Beyoncé of the United States", and become, "the first woman to launch the first rocket for the first performance in Space".

But no matter what the Crazy In Love singer tries, she seemingly cannot break the network.

That's until right at the end of the ad, where we see the Verizon logo appear as Beyoncé says, "okay they ready, drop the new music".

Fans online are currently speculating that Act II could be a country album, due to the song Texas Hold 'Em and the fact that the singer has been spotted in multiple western themed outfits recently.
