Beyoncé's F1 Appearance Sparks Rumors That Act III Is Finally On The Way

Beyoncé's recent appearance at the Formula One race in Las Vegas, Nevada, over the weekend has the BeyHive buzzing. For those who might've missed it, the "Cowboy Carter" singer turned heads when she popped out at this year's Grand Prix with her husband, Jay-Z, and British racecar driver Lewis Hamilton. Beyoncé's outfit was especially noteworthy, as she stunned in a tight, form-fitting leather racecar outfit, flowy, curly hair, and black heels. Later in the night, Beyoncé was still the center of attention when she hit the town in a red, leather one-piece, matching high-heels, and a matching coat. Beyoncé's appearance at F1 marks one of her first public outings since wrapping up her record-breaking stadium "Cowboy Carter" tour in the summer of 2025, and fans are thinking it was way more intentional than it appeared.

Beyoncé was the focal point of F1 this past weekend in Vegas, wearing a custom Louis Vuitton jumpsuit that had everyone talking.

At another point, the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer switched into a red Ferrari-branded leather bodysuit, according to E! News.

Beyoncé's appearance at the epic sporting event wasn't as random as some might think, as she and Jay-Z were shotgun riders in Hamilton's car for a "hot lap" that was shared on social media.

Members of the BeyHive haven't been able to stop talking about the singer's weekend moves, wondering whether it was a completely out-of-the-blue appearance or part of a bigger plan—one that potentially includes the third act of her ongoing trilogy.

For those unfamiliar, Beyoncé has been teasing a three-act project since 2022. So far, fans have received the groundbreaking dance album "RENAISSANCE" and her genre-bending eighth album "Cowboy Carter." While the third project remains a mystery, it's widely theorized that the tracks will be rock inspired.

Seemingly feeding into the narrative, Beyoncé shared a four-second clip of herself at F1 on Instagram and captioned it, "Give it to Mama!" referencing the funk and R&B track "Green Light" from her sophomore album, "B'day."

Beyoncé's F1 outfits have many netizens questioning whether she's officially wrapped up the country era and transitioned into her new vibe.

"Act 3 begins. This is not a drill everyone. Beyoncé does NOTHING without intention. We. Are. About. To. Be. FED," someone wrote online.

"Beyonce what are you up to?! Should I tell my landlord the rent will be late?????" another user joked.

"THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE ROCK AND ROLL ERA," a third posted.

"ROCKYONCE IS COMING," another shared.

While the genre of Beyoncé's next album remains unclear, it wouldn't be a total surprise if the songs feature rock elements. In 2016, Beyoncé released a rock track, "Don't Hurt Yourself," with rock icon Jack White—an experience he couldn't even believe he was able to be part of.

According to Billboard, Queen Bey approached White one day and expressed her love for his music and later shared that she wanted to be in a band with him. "I’ve always loved her voice. I mean, I think she has the kind of soul singing voice of the days of Betty Davis or Aretha Franklin. So, I was really happy to work with her," he said.

White then explained that Beyoncé took a part of the "lyrical outline" he had created for their collaboration and eventually turned it into "the most bodacious, vicious, incredible song."

He added, "I don’t even know what you’d classify it as — soul, rock and roll, or whatever it is. ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’ is incredibly intense; I’m so amazed at what she did with it."

Before Beyoncé's F1 appearance, members of the BeyHive, including her mother, Tina Knowles, were mourning the loss of one of the singer's most loyal fans, Sydney Hardeman.

The 25-year-old first went viral in 2018 when her reaction to Beyoncé's iconic Coachella set was featured in the Netflix film, "Homecoming."

Hardeman tragically died by suicide, and Tina shared a tribute on Instagram, honoring the late flight instructor and sending love to those closest to her.

"So sad to hear the news that this angel has gone to be with the lord. My Love goes out to her family and friends, and all the beehive members that knew and loved her," she wrote. "I didn’t know her personally, but I feel a real sad sadness today at this loss of this young beautiful woman. My prayers up for her family."
