Did Beyonce<\/strong>\u2019s Super Bowl commercial for Verizon contain the world\u2019s biggest Easter Egg for her fans?<\/p>\n

In the 90-second spot, Queen Bey concocts various viral strategies to \u201cbreak\u201d the carrier\u2019s internet coverage. Co-starring “Vice\u2019s” Tony Hale as her hapless assistant, she introduces an AI clone of herself, announces a presidential run, and attempts to become the first to perform a concert from space.<\/p>\n

One of those strategies has her fans certain of a Sphere residency because it depicts their idol on a metallic silver horse atop the Sphere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought you meant in <\/em>the Sphere!\u201d Hale yells at Beyonce while climbing the exterior of the globular concert venue only four days after an anti-abortion activist did exactly that in real life,\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, on <\/em>the Sphere!\u201d she retorts.<\/p>\n

The $50 million ad concluded by cryptically teasing the release of Beyonce\u2019s next album, “Act II,” on March 29.<\/p>\n

\n

Just before Thanksgiving, we told you<\/a> that Sphere owner James Dolan<\/strong> wanted a Queen Bey residency in the baddest of ways and that Beyonce\u2019s husband, Jay Z, <\/strong>and her momager, Tina Knowles, had been seen touring the $2.3 billion venue. The stumbling block was that her team reportedly demanded $10 million to produce the required high-tech video. That\u2019s the same size check Dolan cut U2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s a good bet that both sides are either nearing an agreement or have already agreed on terms.<\/p>\n

Beyonce is the highest-grossing Black artist ever, having earned $1.3 billion from the sales of 11.2 million tickets over her career.<\/p>\n
