Ahead of her highly anticipated album drop tomorrow (Friday, 29 July), Beyoncé has revealed that Renaissance will only be the first part of a 'three act project'.
The pop superstar had fans shook when she first announced she had been working on a new album, and subsequently released the song of the summer, 'Break My Soul' just last month.
Now, the Beyhive are absolutely losing it, after learning that the album will be just one of three upcoming releases from Queen B.
Posting a foreword to her personal website ahead of Friday's album drop, Beyoncé wrote: "This three act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.
"Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving.

"My intention was to create a safe place. A place without judgement. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration."
She continued: "I want to give a special thank you to Rumi, Sir, and Blue for allowing me the space, creativity, and inspiration. And a special thanks to my beautiful husband and muse, who held me down during those late nights in the studio.
"A big thank you to my uncle Jonny. He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album.
"Thank you to all of the pioneers who originate culture, to all of the fallen angels who contributions have gone unrecognised for far too long. This is a celebration for you.
"Thank you to me Parkwood crew, my slab, dream, and all of the talented producers involved. Mama, I luhhh you. To my father, my O.G, my first teacher, you inspire me in every move that I make. I love you.
"To all of my fans: I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel unique, strong, and sexy as you are. Love y'all deep. B."
People could hardly contain their excitement after hearing the news, and took to Twitter to celebrate:
Tomorrow just can't come quick enough.
