Verizon teases upcoming Beyoncé Super Bowl commercial: What to know

The short 11-second video ends with a flash of Beyoncé's song, "My House," and the screen shows the Super Bowl date along with the Verizon logo. The caption read, "Gotta squeeze faster than that if you want to be ready in time. 2.11.24"
Beyoncé’s 2016 album is titled "Lemonade." Fans took the lemon reference and the accompanying song to be a clear indication that Queen Bey might make some sort of cameo during a Verizon commercial on Sunday.
One user wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "GET UP BEYONCé IS COMINGGGGGGGG."
Verizon followed up all the speculation with another teaser. In a separate video, Hale is speaking to a huge silver horse. This particular horse is known to fans as "Reneigh" and has become synonymous with Beyoncé's latest album, "Renaissance."
