Beyoncé made a surprising appearance in a Verizon commercial aired during Super Bowl LVIII, hinting at her potential venture into the world of gaming as a Twitch streamer.
In the commercial, Beyoncé is seen playing video games on Twitch under the handle “IamSlayoncé,” a nod to her iconic persona.
The account, seemingly created for the advertisement, quickly gained traction, amassing over 39 thousand followers at the time of reporting.
While there’s no confirmation yet if Beyoncé will delve into popular games like Fortnite, her presence on the platform sparked excitement among fans.

The 90-second commercial showcases Beyoncé’s humorous attempts to disrupt Verizon’s 5G network, including opening a lemonade stand, unveiling a robot version of herself called Beyonc-AI, running for president, and even performing in outer space. However, none of these endeavors yield the desired outcome.
Ultimately, Beyoncé resorts to her musical prowess to “break the internet.” As the commercial concludes, she declares, “Okay, they ready. Drop the new music,” before unveiling the trailer for her upcoming album, “Renaissance Act II,” scheduled for release on March 29. Alongside the trailer, Beyoncé surprised fans with the release of two new singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”
The minute-long clip pays homage to the 1984 film “Paris, Texas,” as Beyoncé is depicted navigating a drive while searching for the perfect soundtrack, ultimately settling on “Texas Hold ‘Em” for her journey.
