Beyoncé sparks Act III rumours with new Levi's ad as fans spot hints of a rock-inspired era
Beyoncé's new Levi's advertisement has reignited speculation about the third chapter of her multi-part musical project, with fans convinced the visual hints may signal a shift toward rock music. In the campaign, Beyoncé continues to reference her Cowboy Carter era, arriving on horseback and wearing a cowboy hat — imagery consistent with her most recent album. However, the ad concludes with the singer riding away on a motorbike, a detail that has caught the attention of her fanbase, who see it as a potential clue about her next direction. This follows her 2022 announcement of a 'three-act project,' which began with Renaissance — a celebration of dance and house music — and continued with Cowboy Carter, her exploration of country music. Both albums were well received, with Cowboy Carter earning the Grammy for Album of the Year earlier in 2025. Now, with the Cowboy Carter tour wrapped, fans have turned their attention to what may come next. Many have pointed to past interviews and visuals, including a British Vogue feature in 2022 where Beyoncé was styled in darker tones and seated on a motorbike — a motif now echoed in the Levi's ad. References to rock icons like Little Richard and Chuck Berry during her recent tour have only added to the belief that Act III could see Beyoncé embracing rock influences. As speculation continues, no official announcement has been made regarding Act III's theme or release date.

Beyoncé's Levi's campaign pulled into Sydney Sweeney ‘great jeans' ad controversy
The recent backlash against Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign has expanded, drawing Beyoncé's Levi's advertisement into the discussion. Critics originally targeted Sweeney's ad for its use of the pun 'great jeans,' which many interpreted as a subtle reference to eugenics, igniting debate over beauty standards and coded messaging in fashion. Sweeney's campaign features her saying, 'Genes are passed down from parents... My jeans are blue,' followed by the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Although the ad likely intended a playful pun, the combination of genetic language, Sweeney's blue eyes, and blonde hair led to accusations that it reinforced outdated ideals of racial superiority. Just going to leave this pic from Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist… — Nicole Saphier, MD (@NBSaphierMD) July 30, 2025 One user on X remarked, 'The ad infers that blue eyes and blonde hair are superior. It's not about denim, it's about what that phrase echoes historically.' The criticism has since grown, with many questioning how fashion continues to use loaded language in marketing. Amid this, comparisons emerged with Beyoncé's Levi's campaign from late 2024. Like Sweeney's ad, Beyoncé's campaign features denim styling and close-up visuals. However, critics argue the comparison is misguided. Beyoncé's campaign made no genetic references and was launched in conjunction with her Cowboy Carter album, celebrating Black contributions to country music. So Beyoncé can pose in Levi jeans and it's art… But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis? — Desiree (@DesireeAmerica4) July 29, 2025 A viral post questioning the double standard read: 'So Beyoncé can pose in Levi's and it's art… but when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis?' Others countered, emphasizing the importance of messaging context, with one user noting: 'Beyoncé didn't say anything about genes. It's about the message behind the words.' American Eagle has not commented officially. A viral post suggesting the brand issued an apology was later revealed to be fake. The controversy has reignited broader conversations about racial bias, historical sensitivity, and the responsibility brands carry in their messaging.
