It looks like the Cotswolds might soon be adding a global music icon to its list of high-profile residents.
While Jeremy Clarkson, David Beckham, and billionaire Lord Bamford have long been associated with the area’s elite appeal, a certain superstar from Texas might be ready to make her mark.
Yes, we’re talking about none other than Beyoncé – and word is, she and Jay-Z are seriously thinking about putting down roots in the heart of the English countryside.
A Love for the UK and a Possible Move
The rumor mill has been buzzing ever since Beyoncé announced her Cowboy Carter World Tour, with a major stop in London this June. But it turns out this might be more than just a tour stop.
According to someone close to the couple, they’ve been thinking about finding a new base outside of their main home in Los Angeles – and the UK, especially the Cotswolds, is high on their list.
“The wildfires in California really made them think,” a friend shared.
“They’ll always be tied to LA, but the UK has always shown so much love to Beyoncé. She adores the energy here.”
Why the Cotswolds Has Their Attention
So why the Cotswolds, specifically? The insider says it’s all about the open space and peaceful setting.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have already spent time in the area and seem to have fallen for its charm.
They’ve been house hunting, checking out different properties – and while they haven’t bought anything just yet, they’re open to short-term rentals while they find the right fit.
And let’s be honest – for a couple with their kind of resources, a rental deal could be life-changing for the right landlord.
From Malibu to Bel Air: Their Taste in Homes
If their past homes are anything to go by, Beyoncé and Jay-Z don’t settle for anything less than extraordinary.
Back in 2017, after the birth of their twins Rumi and Sir, they moved into a 12,000-square-foot estate in Malibu called La Villa Contenta.
That rental cost them a cool $400,000 a month and came with all the luxuries you’d expect – think ocean views, a wine cellar, a private cinema, and more.
Not long after, they took it up a notch with an $88 million mansion in Bel Air – complete with eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, four swimming pools, and space for 15 cars.
A Lifestyle Fit for a Superstar Family
According to their friend, Beyoncé wants to make sure touring life doesn’t feel chaotic for their kids.
“She wants it to feel as normal as possible – and hotels just don’t cut it when you’re traveling with kids.”
Of course, “normal” for Beyoncé might still include state-of-the-art kitchens, recording studios, and sprawling gardens.
Last year, the couple made headlines again with a jaw-dropping purchase: a $200 million property in California, setting the record for the most expensive home ever sold in the state.
Where in the Cotswolds Could They Land?
While nothing is confirmed, there are whispers that the couple has their eyes on two prime spots.
Could one be Daylesford, the luxurious 1,700-acre estate owned by Lord Bamford? Or maybe even Blenheim Palace is in their sights? Either way, it’s clear they’re dreaming big – and with their budget, almost nothing is off-limits.
So far, Beyoncé’s team hasn’t offered any comment, but fans are already excited at the idea of Queen Bey becoming a local.
What’s Next?
With Beyoncé’s tour bringing her to London in just a few months, we might get some clues sooner rather than later.
Whether it’s a full-time residence or just a lavish rental, one thing’s for sure – the Cotswolds may be about to welcome royalty of a very different kind.
And let’s be real – if anyone can turn heads in the English countryside, it’s Beyoncé.
