Beyoncé Knowles-Carter had more than one Christmas surprise for her devoted Beyhive, posting a mysterious 14-second teaser on Wednesday, which made fans go wild guessing.
In it, the 43-year-old pop diva was in full-on Cowboy Carter mode - perched on a white horse, wearing all-white western wear, and waving a large American flag.
Beyoncé - who boasts 423.6M social media followers - cryptically captioned the slow-motion clip: 'Look at that horse.'
Most fans suspected Knowles-Carter plans on announcing a world tour to bolster her eighth studio album, which seemed apt considering Live Nation retweeted her teaser.
X user @papasang3l tweeted a giddy meme captioned: 'Tour dates?'
'She's warning us [now], save your money cause tour tickets drop on 1/14/25,' X user @grace_hackney guessed.

'Don't wait till then and say you're broke.'
X user @arianaunext cautiously agreed: 'The Cowboy Carter World Tour is coming?!'
'She told us to "look at that horse." The horse is fading to black,' X user @heypierreking tweeted.
'The Renaissance is not over.'
Considering Act I was about African-American roots in disco and Act II was about African-American roots in country, some thought the teaser's gothic font meant Act III would be about African-American roots in rock 'n' roll.
'The font is giving 80s rock,' X user @kairoyaltyy noted. 'Act III is upon us!'
X user @betscrables shared a meme of a pink-hued Godzilla roaring captioned: 'Drop Act III!'
'Act III or a Cowboy Carter World Tour,' X user @hard_tingz tweeted.
Meanwhile, X user @mihailo____ speculated the teaser might be hyping an upcoming music video or Cowboy Carter visuals.
Hours earlier, the 32-time Grammy winner headlined an epic NFL halftime performance at NRG Stadium in her Houston hometown.

Beyoncé certainly sleighed - performing a 15-minute, eight-song medley during the football game where the Baltimore Ravens absolutely creamed the Houston Texans 31-2.
Knowles-Carter enlisted her 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter to serve back-up dancer duties, and she also had Post Malone and Shaboozey join her onstage during the Netflix-streamed concert.
Queen Bey raised eyebrows using a finger-gun gesture just as a big 'Bang' banner unfurled beneath her platform, a move which is illegal for NFL players to make on the field.
Beyoncé's beleaguered husband Jay-Z is in the midst of a legal war against attorney Tony Buzbee, whose Jane Doe client accused him of raping her, at age 13, in 2000 alongside Diddy in a civil lawsuit.
'We are aware of the civil allegations and Jay Z's really strong response to that,' Roger Goodell said at a December 11th press conference.
'We know, obviously, that litigation is happening. But from our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.'
The 65-year-old NFL commissioner famously hired the 55-year-old Roc Nation founder to be the live music entertainment strategist in 2019, which is precisely how Knowles-Carter scored her televised gig Wednesday.
Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) also serves as executive producer of the halftime show, having been instrumental in picking Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020, The Weeknd in 2021, Dr. Dre in 2022, Rihanna in 2023, Usher in 2024, and Kendrick Lamar for 2025.
The married couple of 16 years - worth a combined $3B - originally met back in 1998, and they're also proud parents of seven-year-old fraternal twins, son Sir Carter and daughter Rumi Carter.

Beyoncé is nominated for 11 trophies - including album of the year - at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, which air February 2 on CBS/Paramount+.
On September 26, Knowles-Carter lost all 12 trophies she was nominated for her eighth studio album at the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards.
This, after the Oscar-nominated songwriter - who gets 55.2M monthly listeners on Spotify -shockingly received zero nominations at the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards.
And while country music industry elites went out of their way to snub her, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter became her eighth consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and the first album by a black woman to top the Top Country Albums chart.
Knowles-Carter's first foray into the genre also scored her No. 1 records in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
