Beyonce’s Back With New Teaser Trailer Of Mystery HBO Project ‘Lemonade’
Beyonce is making waves again with a mysterious new video that she posted to Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and beyonce.com.
Captioned simply as #LEMONADE both by Beyonce and HBO’s social media, the 20-second video depicts a woman (assumed to be Bey) rising from a heavy lean against a car. This image blacks out to plain white block text, “Lemonade”
The woman, most probably Beyonce, sports a head of blonde cornrows.
Beyonce’s mysterious project is being marketed as a “world premier event” that will be airing on HBO on April 23, exactly a week from today.

Speculation around #LEMONADE is high. Is it a new album? A new music video? Some sort of HBO special? A visual album maybe? All questions, it seems, will be answered on “4.23 9pm ET”
Whatever the project is, it is certainly a surprise, coming on the eve of Beyonce’s world tour of Formation which is all set to kick off on April 27 (four days after the anticipated revelation of #LEMONADE).
This collaboration with HBO for this new “world premier event” has gotten the Beyonce fandom (which calls itself the BeyHive) very high.
One hour after the singer, nicknamed Queen B, released her #LEMONADE teaser, it started trending worldwide on Twitter.
The BeyHive expressed collective excitement in a flurry of tweets:
I’m going on a lemonade diet to prepare my body. #LEMONADE @Beyonce

This end of the “BeyHydration” is also benefitting Beyonce’s partner in this mysterious Lemonade initiative – HBO is also getting a lot of attention from this new teaser trailer, as is seen by many BeyHive tweeters’ newfound interest in HBO itself.
