Beyoncé announced part two of her ‘Renaissance’ trilogy during Sunday’s (February 11) Super Bowl. 

The US superstar appeared at the end of the ad for communications giant Verizon to tease the release, saying: “Okay, they ready. Drop the new music.”

Immediately after the advert aired, Beyoncé released two new songs – Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages – across digital platforms.
