Poker References In New Beyonc Single
As one might expect from someone releasing a song titled “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Beyonc made some poker references and allusions in releasing the tracks.
A minute-long video posted to Beyonc’s Instagram shows a taxi driving down a dusty road with a Texas vanity plate that reads “HOLD ‘EM.” Meanwhile, the single’s cover art shows Beyonc wearing a metallic heart, undoubtedly a reference to one of the four suits in a deck of cards.
Beyonc further alludes poker in the chorus lyrics of the new track: “This ain’t Texas, ain’t no hold ’em. So lay your cards down, down down.”
Beyonc isn’t the first music star to get inspiration from poker Lady Gaga’s 2008 hit “Poker Face” has more than 1.2 billion views on YouTube alone but she is one of the biggest.

Beyonc also announced a new album, Act II, a follow-up to her 2022 album Renaissance, that will be released on March 29.
