Beyoncé is keeping the COWBOY CARTER content coming with a surprise new remix of "Texas Hold 'Em," but she's also teasing something new after unveiling a mysterious website.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Beyoncé launched a cryptic website called beencountry.com, which takes you to a website with a photo of a young Bey performing at the Texas Sweetheart Pageant, alongside the message, "This ain't a country album. This is a 'Beyoncé' album." Posters stating Bey has "always been country" have also popped up around Los Angeles. The site also features a childhood pic of Bey's mom Tina Knowles, whose legal name is Celestine Beyonce.

Some fans are theorizing the site could lead to an announcement about a new tour, a follow-up to her successful RENAISSANCE tour that would focus on Act II of her planned trilogy.

Bey is also continuing her trend of blending genres on her highly-lauded album, this time with her new "Texas Hold 'Em (Pony Up) Remix" which brings New Orleans hip hop-inspired bounce sound to the previously banjo-filled track with more verses encouraging all her "cowboys" to get to the dance floor and to "pony up and salute your town."

Beyoncé was recently honored at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards with the Innovator Award, presented by Stevie Wonder, where she was recognized for her impact on music and culture throughout her vast career.

"Being an innovator is seeing what everyone believes is impossible. Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength," she said in her acceptance speech, adding, "So to all the record labels, every radio station, every award show, my hope is that we are more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art with no preconceived notions."
