Beyoncé’s “No Visual Awards” signage from her fake VMAs photoshoot backdrop appeared to be a cheeky jab at fans wanting her to release full-album visuals for both Cowboy Carter and her previous record, Renaissance.

The singer had previously released visuals for her self-titled 2013 record, and her 2016 album, Lemonade, Today reported on Tuesday.

In the music industry, “visuals” refer to music videos or visual albums that accompany an artist’s songs, often providing a cinematic or storytelling element to the music.

Beyoncé is known for releasing extensive visuals for her albums, enhancing the fan experience, as she did with her 2013 album Beyoncé.

The starlet addressed the lack of music videos for her two latest records in an interview with GQ in September 2024.

She said: “I thought it was important that during a time where all we see is visuals, that the world can focus on the voice.

“The music is so rich in history and instrumentation. It takes months to digest, research, and understand. The music needed space to breathe on its own.”

Beyoncé reportedly added that music videos can sometimes take away from a song, as she explained: “Sometimes a visual can be a distraction from the quality of the voice and the music.

“The years of hard work and detail put into an album that takes over four years! The music is enough.”

“Beyoncé looks more like Pamela than Pamela looks like Pamela,” a reader commented
