Beyoncé collabs with Travis Scott: Was she giving hints about it?

Fans were unaware that Beyoncé was hiding Easter eggs in her tour videos.

Travis Scott and Beyoncé unexpectedly collaborated on the song DELRESTO (ECHOES) from his new album, UTOPIA. While the collaboration caught fans off guard, they were even more stunned to discover that Beyoncé had been hinting at it for months.

Beyoncé, 41, performs her hit song America Has a Problem from behind a news anchor's desk as a surprise encore on her Renaissance World Tour. Stock tickers and news stories flash over the enormous screens behind her during the show.

A newspaper called The Echo spans the entire screen in one of these on-screen flashes. Fans always assumed the design, which included America Has a Problem as the front-page title, was just an artistic reference to her smash song, which she most recently remixed with Kendrick Lamar.

The single cover for DELRESTO (ECHOES), on the other hand, gave listeners a hint as to what this newspaper meant. The America Has a Problem headline is visible but cut off in the song's artwork, which features The Echo once more. No one seems to be aware of the full significance of the symbol that Beyoncé has been using to tease the partnership for months.

On Scott's latest album, notable figures other than Beyoncé are also mentioned. The album also features John Mayer on Sirens, Drake on Meltdown, Bad Bunny on K-Pop, and SZA on Telekinesis, among other musicians. The album has a colossal number of artists, practically all of them go uncredited. This is just a small sample.

The Renaissance World Tour of Beyoncé has been in the news before. The worldwide tour keeps creating viral moments, from choosing a fan's wedding song to honouring Juneteenth by donning all Black clothing.
