While some of you have already given up on the May 29th theory, I firmly believe that it is still going to happen.

There are basically two main reasons why this theory originally came to light. The first and most importantly is the fact that it would create a perfect release pattern for all acts in the trilogy, as both act i and act ii came out on a Friday the 29th in their respective months.

Some hive members point out that this is a coincidence, but I disagree because Beyoncé never does the same thing twice, unless it's on purpose. And therefore I do believe that Friday the 29th has been set as the release day of all acts within this trilogy. I just can't imagine that she will release act iii on some random date and break the pattern that would otherwise form so perfectly. It's a trilogy after all!

The second reason is its connection to Tina Turner as she released her album Private Dancer on May 29th as well. Considering that act iii is widely rumored to be rock-related, it would also be a great way to honor Tina. This is a weaker argument, but it still adds to the significance of May 29th.

We are now only two weeks away from May 29th and we have still not heard anything concrete. I think that because we already heavily suspected May 29th, she isn't going to stick to the same announcement timings of act i and act ii.

I think she is making us wait longer on purpose to let us spiral and cast doubt on the May 29th theory. After all, act i and act ii were both announced 1-1,5 months in advance. I think that act iii will have an extremely short window between announcement and release.

I don't think it will be a surprise drop, but it will be fast-moving announcement, pre order and release schedule. Perhaps even without a lead single. Just enough time to do physical pre orders. I think she will trade the more classic rollouts of act i and act ii with a more fast paced and exciting rollout for act iii.

There just has been too much buzz for her to go back into hiding. I mean, even her mother can’t do a single interview anymore without act iii coming up.

Not to mention the recent articles from Vogue confirming CC is over and a new era is upon us. I fully believe she gave her blessing for those articles because she literally worked with them as the co-chair of the met gala.

Now, WHO IS STILL ON BOARD THE DELULU EXPRESS? 🚂🚂🚂

I normally don’t care about followers at all, but I noticed that her follower count dropped by 5M in just a day… seems quite extreme. It was 307M yesterday.

Very strange… was there like a global bot account purge on Instagram?
