Fans took to social media to vent their anger after it was reported that the album was leaked two days early.
The album was due to be released on Friday but was delayed.
Some people were able to listen to the songs early on due to the audio files circulating on social media.
The news made people angry.
The Beyhive urged people not to share links and listen to the record before it was released.
She shared a striking piece of artwork showing her riding a luminescent horse while wearing only silver jewellery around her.
I hope you enjoy this music, she wrote.
I hope it encourages you to let go. That's right, ha! It's important to feel sexy as you are.
