Beyoncé Producer Hints At Potential Taylor Swift Country Collab
Beyoncé and Taylor Swift might be teaming up, according to Beyoncé’s producer. Killah B, who wrote and produced on one of the singer’s newest singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” spoke to TMZ of the possibility of a Swift collaboration for Renaissance: Act II.
“You gonna have to wait and see,” he said, adding, “Let’s just say she is on the approach of shocking the world. I’ll let your imagination decide what that means.”
However, a source told Entertainment Weekly that Swift will not be on the new Beyoncé record. We’ll just have to wait to see on release day.
The two supported one another at their film premieres last year, having world tours last summer and following up with concert films. Swift wrote a touching caption after Beyoncé visited her Eras Los Angeles premiere.
“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce‘s influence,” the singer wrote. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career, and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”

Beyoncé Announces New Album, Releases New Songs
During the Super Bowl, Beyoncé announced Act II of Renaissance which will be a country album. In the Verizon ad, she tries to break the internet and ends with (actually breaking the internet): “OK, they ready — drop the new music. I told y’all the ‘Renaissance’ is not over,” she concluded in her Verizon ad. Following the commercial, she posted on Instagram that the two singles “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and “16 Carriages” were released. Renaissance: Act II will arrive on March 29.
Listen to Beyoncé’s new singles”Texas Hold ‘Em,” and “16 Carriages” below:
Beyoncé: The Best Viral Moments From Her 'Renaissance Tour'
Donald Glover's Swarm "Shade"?

Some fans were convinced that Beyoncé shaded Donald Glover’s Amazon Prime series Swarm when she was performing the Renaissance track “America Has a Problem.” She shouts to the crowd, “Swarm on these hands, n—-!”
The series, which features Dominique Fishback and her mentee Chlöe Bailey, is about the extreme fandom and how it leads Fishback’s character (Andrea) to commit violent acts due to an obsession with a pop star (who seems to resemble Beyoncé). The series came out shortly before Beyoncé hit the road.
However, it could also just be a coincidence that Beyoncé used the word “swarm” and did not call out the series since she is dressed in a bee-inspired stage costume. The “shade” was never addressed by either party publicly.

Beyoncé is known for her visual albums and it is no secret that the Beyhive has wanted a visual component alongside Beyoncé’s Renaissance. However, we’ve never gotten a direct response until now. During her Kentucky tour stop in July, she gave fans an answer. The singer responded, “You are the visuals baby” in a now-viral clip.
Take a look at the clip here.
