A new album, documentary, and other speculations surrounding Beyonce's January 14 announcement explored

After Beyonce posted a cryptic video regarding a now-postponed announcement on January 14, 2025, fans of the singer and prominent publications like Billboard began speculating what the announcement could be about.

According to a report by Billboard dated January 8, 2025, Queen Bey's announcement could be about multiple things one of which is a Cowboy Carter Deluxe album. In her press release about Cowboy Carter, the singer mentioned that her process is experimental and that:

"I worked on many songs. I recorded probably 100 songs. Once that is done, I am able to put the puzzle together and realize the consistencies and the common themes, and then create a solid body of work."

Additionally, in a now-deleted Facebook post, zydeco accordionist Dwayne Dopsie mentioned information about writing zydeco and country songs for Queen Bey. The singer has a bank of tracks and the accordionist's post hints at a possible Deluxe album.

Moreover, the report mentions that since most of Beyonce's musical releases are accompanied by a documentary, the singer's announcement could be about a Cowboy Carter documentary.

Other speculations surrounding Beyonce's announcement include the singer coming with her country music festival, a 2025 Houston Rodeo appearance, and a Cowboy Carter world tour.
