Just call her Troll-once.
Musical superstar Beyonce got her many fans all worked up overnight, teasing a major announcement that was, in the end, seriously underwhelming.
Suspicions that Beyonce had something cooking were first raised when fans noticed her website was down for several hours.
Social media went wild with speculation, wondering what was to come: A live album? New tour dates? The mysterious visual element to her Renaissance album – or perhaps even a follow-up, Renaissance Act II?
Finally, the website was back up and running – along with a video message posted to the social accounts for Beyonce’s company, Parkwood Entertainment.
“OK, OK, y’all didn’t have to break my website. But I told y’all, the Renaissance is not over,” Beyonce begins in the video, before reeling off a long list of countries.
“Brazil! Italy, Thailand, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia …” and on she went, before the video showed spectacular clips from the Renaissance tour.
Fans had to watch to the very end of the video for the kicker: These aren’t new tour dates, but merely new countries that will now screen the Renaissance tour film in cinemas. The film was already released to cinemas in many major markets worldwide earlier in December.
“The Renaissance continues across the globe in a theatre near you,” Beyonce said.
Beyonce’s Renaissance tour played 56 dates over five months this year, visiting North America, Europe and the UK.
Other major markets – South America, Asia and Australia – didn’t make the list (in fact, it’s now been a decade since she toured this country, last visiting in October 2013 with the Mrs Carter Show world tour).
Fans were left fuming over the announcement, with some even complaining they’d stopped the video once their country was announced to alert friends that Bey would finally be touring in a city near them.
“The way she loves to play with our feelings,” read one top-rated comment under Parkwood’s Instagram post.
“I thought this was a damn tour announcement,” another fan fumed.
“Can we have like a list of whats coming next in the Renaissance if it ain’t over yet? I just want to be prepared. My heart can‘t take it anymore,” one fan suggested.
Still, Beyonce has form when it comes to teasing major announcements that then end up being anything but.
More Coverage
Fans still have PTSD from the Great Beyonce Announcement of 2015: “Beyonce has something amazing she wants you to know,” a dramatic promotional teaser for Good Morning America promised in June of that year, prompting much speculation.
“This is something I have to share with everyone,” the woman herself promised fans.
The next day, that “something amazing” was revealed to be not a tour, or an album, but the news that Beyonce had switched to a vegan diet.
