Fans went wild after Beyonce released the surprise new song
Fans had comical reactions to the new song.
A follower named TonysGroove said he was happy Beyonce was ‘experimenting’ with a new sound.
‘Not Beyoncé kicking me out the House of Renaissance before we even get ACT II,’ joked joshuachenault1.
She was referring to how Renaissance may be the first part of a trilogy.
‘Beyoncé made MY HOUSE for everyone who hosts parties at their house and want a song that tells people to get the f*** away at 3 a.m.,’ wrote Twitter user beyonceparkwood.
‘Beyoncé’s MY HOUSE has something for everyone,’ shared archangelsounds.
‘That “Lend your soul to intuitions” part is SO PRINCE. Definitely a live performance transition piece between sounds — an ENERGY on steroids.’
The reviews were positive.
Billboard liked the tempo: ‘Set to a cracking trap beat and bold, brassy tones, My House is both an early Christmas present, and a gift from the superstar.’
Variety called the ditty a ‘callback to her Houston roots, recalling the sneer of homegrown acts like UGK.’
The Guardian praised My House: ‘It steps away from Renaissance’s four-to-the-floor beats: the beat stammers, and seems equally inspired by Houston hip-hop and abstract electronica. But the song then proves to be episodic in structure, deploying one of the beat switches that rappers such as Drake and Travis Scott have recently favoured.’
This comes after Taylor Swift attended Beyonce’s premiere after Beyonce was seen at Taylor’s premiere.

After the pop icons were photographed together at the event, which took place in October in Los Angeles, Taylor wrote on her Instagram: ‘I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence.
‘The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms.
‘Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.’
The London premiere had a star-studded guestlist which included Ms Banks, Bimini, Mabel, Blake Lively, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and will.i.am among others.
Shortly after Beyonce’s appearance at Saturday’s Renaissance film debut, online trolls suggested that the hitmaker ‘was white now,’ while others complained that ‘she’s not a Black woman!’ after she appeared to have lighter skin and also wore a platinum blond wig.
The ‘Formation; singer had her fair share of supporters, however, as Nick Cannon defended her after she was accused of trying to resemble Kim Kardashian at the premiere.
‘Kim Kardashian wants to look like Beyoncé,’ he said on his radio program Daily Cannon Show, before adding that Kim, whom he dated in 2006, ‘wishes she looked like that’.

Beyonce was accused of lightening not just her hair but also her skin
Nick went on to say that Beyonce has ‘looked the same since she was 16’ and called the critics ‘out of their f****** mind’.
Her mom Tina Knowles also stepped into the ring to clap back against her daughter’s vicious critics.
‘I am sick and tired of people attacking her,’ Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video in which she denied commenters’ concerns.
She also compared her daughter’s outfit to styles worn by Black entertainers going back at least as far as Etta James.
‘Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,’ Knowles began her lengthy caption.

She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her Renaissance documentary, ‘where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’
‘How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,’ she seethed. ‘Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’
She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
Among those supporting Knowles in the comments were Insecure star Issa Rae, who cheered: ‘Go off!’
Robin Thede added: ‘LET THEM KNOW!!! The queen has only ever supported Black women and literally dedicates all she does to breaking down barriers for us in every arena!
‘She is a philanthropist, a mentor, a leader and a ground breaker. She is a FASHION ICON and anyone who doesn’t understand that she can use every color in the rainbow to create a look can kick rocks!’ she continued.
‘Do not delete your post! Leave it up so people can remember that you and your daughters are REAL PEOPLE who have done nothing to deserve the nasty things miserable idiots write! I’m sick of it!’
The actress Octavia Spencer also supported her.
‘@mstinaknowles You have raised beautiful, strong, intelligent black, PROUD TO BE BLACK women. Period,’ she wrote in the comments. ‘Anyone who says otherwise has their own issues to deal with. I’m sorry you’ve come across the negative comments that people don’t realize is a reflection of how they feel about themselves.’
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo added: ‘Snaps to all this!!! You have EVERY right to stand behind your baby girl!!! Love you ❤️❤️❤️.’
