Beyoncé and Jay-Z will reportedly be collabing for the last act in the Renaissance trilogy. New York Times‘ pop culture reporter Kyle Buchanan tweeted that Jay-Z will join Beyoncé to fulfill the Renaissance three-part series. “Before Twitter goes down, instead of making you follow me somewhere else, I’ll just tell you what I’ve heard about the other 2 acts of Beyonce’s 3-part ‘Renaissance’ project,” the reporter wrote. “(2nd act is an acoustic album, 3rd act is a collaboration with Jay-Z).”

If this third act comes to fruition, it would be the second time Beyoncé and Jay-Z have created a joint album together. Their album Everything Is Love debuted in 2018.

“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,” Beyoncé wrote at the time. “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 judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration.”

Beyoncé seemingly confirmed that she will be going on tour in 2023 after tickets for a Renaissance World Tour were up for auction during the Wearable Art Gala last month. The package read: “Valued at a total of $20,000, United [Airlines] x WACO offers you a chance to see Beyoncé on her ‘Renaissance’ tour starting in the summer of 2023 at any of United’s national and international destinations around the world. This prize is complete with 2 first-class international United Airlines Polaris tickets to select cities with 3-night hotel accommodations at a Marriott property. And, to one of the most sought-after musical performances of all time, 2 concert tickets to Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ 2023 tour with a guided backstage tour with Miss Tina [Beyoncé’s mother]!”

The winning bidder was said to have paid between $45,000 and $50,000 for the prize, Variety reports.

Beyoncé's Most Striking Lyrics From 'Renaissance'

• 1. "I'm That Girl"

  Beyoncé sets the tone for Renaissance with “I’m That Girl.” On the opening track Beyoncé sings, “I pull up in these clothes, look so good/’Cause I’m in that, hoe/You know all these songs sound good/’Cause I’m on that, hoe.” The icon lets her fans know that she has been and forever will be “that girl.”

• 2. "Cozy"

  “Cozy” is all about being comfortable and confident in all that you are and Beyoncé did just that with the lyrics, “She’s a god, she’s a hero/ She survived all she been through/ Confident, damn, she lethal/Might I suggest you don’t f— with my sis/’Cause she comfortable.”

• 3. "Alien Superstar"

  “Alien Superstar” was an easy standout favorite and so is one of the most notable lines of the album: “Category, bad bitch I’m the bar.”

• 4. "Cuff It"

  That “Cuff It” to “Energy” transition lives rent-free in our heads but so does the line, “You Mister Nasty, I’ll clean it up” as Beyoncé channels her “Partition” alter ego on this track.

• 5. "Energy"

  Beyoncé did not hold back with the line “‘Cause them Karens just turned into terrorists.” Enough said.

• 6. "Break My Soul"

  When Beyoncé dropped “Break My Soul,” the disco-pop hit went down as the unofficial song of the summer. The line “Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped” is reminiscent of summer and a very accurate depiction of an unforgettable girls night out.

• 7. "Plastic Off The Sofa"

  “Plastic Off The Sofa” is a beautiful love song but the giggle after Bey delivers the line, “I think you’re so cool (even though I’m cooler than you)” shows off a piece of her personality that is not always seen.

• 8. "Church Girl"

  On “Church Girl,” Beyoncé brought back an old school saying with the line,”She gon’ shake that a– and them pretty tig ol’ bitties.”

• 9. "Virgo's Groove"

  You already know how Beyoncé loves a water sport reference (i.e. Drunk in Love’s “surfboart” line) and in “Virgo’s Groove” she does just that with the line,”Cuddled up on the couch/Motorboat, baby, spin around/Slow-mo coming out my blouse.”

• 10. "Move"

  Beyoncé is never shy talking about her spirituality so it comes to know surprise that the Moses’ Red Sea reference found its way on Renaissance with the line, “When the queen come through, part like the Red Sea/ Move out the way”

• 11. "Heated"

  On the track, co-wrritten by Drake, Beyoncé shouts out her late Uncle Johnny who she dedicated Renaissance to. Her uncle with the help of her mother Tina Knowles, made several outfits for Destiny’s Child.

  The line: “Uncle Johnny made my dress/ That cheap Spandex, she looks a mess”

• 12. Thique

  On “Thique,” Beyoncé celebrates her curves with the line “That’s that thique, that’s that real s—.”

• 13. "All Up In Your Mind"

  In “All Up In Your Mind,” Beyoncé poses the question, “Is my love a crime ’cause I wanna make you mine?”

• 14. "America Has A Problem"

  “America Has A Problem” and its that we can’t stop listening to this album. This track is the most rap-heavy of all the songs on Renaissance and Beyoncé proves she has bars. “Your ex-dealer dope, but ain’t crack enough” is one of the hottest bars on the record.

• 15. "Pure/Honey"

  We all felt it when Beyoncé sang, “Bad bitches to the left, money bitches to the right” on “Pure/Honey” as we try to run to both sides in the club.

• 16. "Summer Renaissance"

  You know once you get to “Summer Renaissance” that you’re at the end. But, before Beyoncé leaves, she shouts out the black-owned fashion house Telfar because you know Bey is always on trend.

  The line: “This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them s—- in storage.”
