Beyoncé is dropping her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, otherwise known as Act II and the sequel to 2022’s Renaissance, this Friday, Mar. 29.

Ahead of the official release of this country-influenced album, Queen Bey dropped the tracklist for the new project. As expected, everyone on the internet immediately started to lose their minds over the song list, potential features and collaborations, as well as other references found in the artwork.

The internet sleuths are sleuthing!

From a tracklist design inspired by posters for the Chitlin Circuit to the long-rumored cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” to a new song featuring the legendary Willie Nelson to the persisting rumors that a sequel to Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” will be included in this album, there’s a lot to unpack in this tracklist… and we’re happy to curate a collection of details highlighted by the BeyHive on social media!
