Beyoncé and Jay Z Just Dropped a Surprise Album, So Naturally Twitter Is Losing It
Beyoncé and Jay Z dropped a surprise (though long-rumored) joint album together on Saturday night, June 16, ringing the alarm for the Beyhive to collectively lose its mind. As if that’s not exciting enough, there’s a new feature track and a corresponding music video—filmed at the freaking Louvre—to go with the album news. Called “Apes**t,” it’s a visual masterpiece. But what else did you expect from Bey?
And while Beyoncé had been posting cryptic images to Instagram all afternoon, leading some curious fans to think she might be dropping something, it’s safe to say no one expected Christmas to come this early—and definitely not in the form of a joint album with Jay Z. The couple are, after all, very busy on their current On the Run II tour. Still, in traditional Bey fashion, all was kept under wraps until the appointed date and time.
Of course, Twitter had a lot of reactions to share as news of the album dropped. Some people immediately canceled their Saturday plans, while others joked about finding ways to listen without signing up for Tidal. One user even made this point, “I don’t wanna listen to an album where some MAN keeps interrupting Beyoncé.”
Here are some of the best reactions:
