Is Beyonce starring in a new movie?
The Bootylicious singer had been teasing fans with her Netflix film, Homecoming, since the beginning of April, before the streaming giant would go on to confirm that April 17 would mark the date the documentary was set to premiere on their platform.
The feature-length film focuses its attention on her journey to her big night performing at Coachella: preparations, rehearsals, and never-before-seen video footage of Beyonce and her family gearing up for what would ultimately be known as Beychella.
Is Beyonce releasing new music?
Yes- Beyonce shocked fans by dropping an album version of her Coachella set and a brand new song on the same day as her Netflix documentary Homecoming was released.
Following the release of Homecoming, what fans didn't know was that Beyonce had recorded original music to go along with the visuals as the feature-length motion picture.
Homecoming: The Live Album surfaced right after the Netflix documentary had been made available for streaming on April 17, 2019, which includes all of the songs that the 1+1 hitmaker performed during her incredible set.
Including live versions of her Crazy In Love and Drunk In Love remixes as well as her reunion with Destiny's Child and performances with hubbie Jay-Z and sister Solange.
A whopping 40 tracks make up the record's entire body of work.
Surprisingly enough, Beyonce has also included a new range of songs on the album, including Before I Let Go - a cover of Maze's 1981 song of the same name- which was co-written and produced by Memphis native Tay Keith, who is a frequent collaborator with artists such as Drake and 21 Savage.
Another new song featured on the album is titled Lift Every Voice and Sing, where fans can hear Blue Ivy showing off her singing abilities before Momma Bey bursts out into a cheery applause, giving her daughter plenty of praise.
Blue is then heard saying: "I want to do that again," to which Beyonce laughs: "You're like mommy, huh?"
"It feels good," Blue responds.
Will Beyonce be touring the UK in 2019?
There has been no word on whether Beyonce plans to head back on the road anytime soon.
But given that she has dropped two new songs from her HOMECOMING Netflix documentary, it would seem more than likely that she's potentially cooking up material for a full body of work.
Beyonce and her husband enjoyed an incredible amount of commercial success during their One the Run II tour, which grossed an astounding $253.5 million from just 48 dates.
Her previous tour, The Formation World Tour, grossed $256 million at the box office, showing clear signs that everything Beyonce does (or even tends to put her name on) quite literally turns into money.

That means their net worth as a couple broke the $1billion dollar mark at $1.16billion.
Forbes ranked her as the most powerful female in entertainment in 2015 and 2017.
How old is Beyonce, what is her real name and what are her biggest hits?

Her full name is Beyonce Giselle Knowles, and her forename is a tribute to her mother's maiden name, which was Beyince.

The superstar initially became famous for being one of girlband trio Destiny's Child with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, but they split in 2006 after Beyonce's solo career took off.
Bey's biggest hits include If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, Crazy In Love (a collaboration with Jay-Z), Halo, Listen, Formation and Run The World.
How did Beyonce meet Jay Z?
Beyonce has revealed in the past that she first met Jay-Z when she was just 18.
Jay Z, being 12 years older than her, was already pushing for the big 30, and while that could have been a problem for the couple; it actually ended up being the complete opposite.
Despite how private the couple is when it comes to all things regarding their love life and marriage, Jay Z recalls meeting his wife for the first time on his latest album, Everything is Love, which was a joint album released by the duo on 16 June 2018.
The song in question is titled 713, and goes into great detail as Jay Z notes how he happened to be on the same flight as Beyonce as they made their way to the 2000 MTV Spring Break Festival in Cancun.
And it didn't take long for things to kick off between the two, it seems.
They would go on to share conversations over the phone for almost two years before Beyonce and Jay Z would go on their first date, which the rapper says was at Nobu restaurant.
2002 saw the couple collaborate on Jay Z's album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse for their smash hit 03 Bonnie & Clyde.
Their chemistry was undeniable in the studio and during the video shoot, resulting in the duo's decision to recreate their spark for Beyonce's debut single Crazy in Love in 2003.
It remains to be the songstress' biggest song to date, heading to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and going on to sell 8.5 million copies worldwide.
When were Beyonce's twins born?
It was announced that Beyonce had given birth to twins - a girl called Rumi and a boy called Sir - on June 13, 2017, with later reports suggesting the babies had been born prematurely a week before.
A source told People magazine: "Bey and Jay are thrilled and have started sharing the news with their family and closest friends."
The Lemonade singer famously announced her pregnancy with an Instagram post in February.
She wrote alongside the snap: “We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over."
Did Jay-Z cheat on wife Beyonce?
Jay-Z finally admitted he had cheated on Beyoncé.
The recording artist and music mogul told the New York Times, that he’s still emotionally scarred from his impoverished upbringing in Brooklyn.
And as Jay-Z discussed psychotherapy that’s when he made his admission of “infidelity.”
“You have to survive. So you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode what happens? You shut down all emotions. So even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect,” he told executive editor Dean Baquet. “In my case, like it’s, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: Infidelity.”
