See Beyonce Star in a Surprise Super Bowl Commercial for Verizon

Beyoncé is back—for just 60 seconds.

The global superstar surprised the world on Sunday by making an appearance in a special Super Bowl commercial for Verizon during the night's big game.

The clip features Beyoncé taking on a challenge to not only break the Internet, but to break Verizon's 5G feature. She attempts to do so by accomplishing a number of skits, including running a lemonade stand that paid homage to her album of the same name, introducing “Beyoncé AI” tech, putting a “BarBey” spin on the viral Barbie movie, and even announcing a campaign to run “for Beyoncé of the United States.” The 60-second ad ends with Beyoncé launching herself into space, seeming to tease a new project by declaring, “Okay, they ready. Drop the new music.” You can watch the full commercial above.

Verizon teased an appearance from Queen Bey in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. Actor Tony Hale (Arrested Development) appeared in a number of teaser advertisements that hinted at Beyonce's commercial including a clip where the actor was squeezing together a pitch of lemonade and another where Beyonce's disco horse from the Renaissance World Tour (affectionately named Reneigh by her fans) made an appearance.

Fans were quick to show their excitement for Bey's starring moment on social media. One user wrote, “DID SHE SAY DROP THE NEW MUSIC?! BEYONCÉ WE GETTING ACT II RN?!”

We're still awaiting the official visuals to Renaissance after all and a potential Act II project from the superstar so until then, the Beyhive will take what they can get from the star. (But Beyoncé , if you're reading this, we've waited long enough. Please—release the visuals!)

Bey's Super Bowl gig comes after the star made a glamorous appearance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this month. The star also finally confirmed a release date for her highly anticipated haircare line, CÉCRED, which is set to be available for purchase starting February 20th.
