Beyoncé's rep Yvette Noel-Schure addressed rumors that her next album is complete and ready to drop this summer.
Tina Knowles Reveals Where Beyoncé's Sister Solange Was Conceived
Beyoncé's rep is putting the truth on top.
Indeed, Yvette Noel-Schure—who has been the “Love on Top” singer’s publicist for more than two decades—addressed a fan theory that Beyoncé’s long-awaited act III album will be released this summer.
As she commented on X under a post claiming to have the inside scoop on the new tracks, “This is unequivocally false!!”
The theory claimed that the Grammy winner’s third and final act of her music trilogy—which already includes Renaissance and Cowboy Carter—is ready for release.
“The album is 100% complete, only vinyl pressings remain, expected to be finished before June 2026, showing a summer release,” the fan account wrote on X April 27, adding that the album will have “two big features.”
The fan account also alleged that the 2026 Met Gala, which the “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” singer is co-chairing alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour, would mark the beginning of Beyoncé’s new era, long rumored to be influenced by old school rock ‘n roll.
“Met Gala officially begins the era,” they continued, “shortly after she will announce the album and a new lead single will be released next month.”
But this wouldn’t be the first time the Bey Hive buzzed in the wrong direction.
After all, fans suspected last August that a video shared to Queen Bey’s Parkwood Entertainment Instagram account served as a teaser that the album would drop on the Destiny’s Child alum’s 44th birthday Sept. 4.

In the clip, the words “The Smoke” with a timecard reading “9:04pm” flashes across the screen, which eagle-eyed members of her fanbase suspected were Easter eggs for a release date.
“Ya’ll notice the time? And she left on a motorcycle instead of a horse? Hmmm,” one user wrote, with another suspecting that the ad was Beyoncé confirming rock 'n roll as the final genre writing, “act III is definitely rock confirmed.”
While Beyoncé has been tight-lipped about what fans can expect from act III, she previously shared the importance of releasing her storied three-part project.
“This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic,” she wrote in a message shared on her website in 2022. “A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.”
Ahead of her long-awaited act III release—whenever that may be—read on for a look at all of Beyoncé’s best eras.
