Beyonce Storms The Grammys Stage With Dazzling Performance In Baby Bump
Pop star and mommy to be Beyonce proudly flaunted her baby bump as she stepped on the stage for her performance at the 59 Grammy awards Yesterday night. 12 days before only she announced that she is expecting twins with husband Jay –Z.
Beyoncé sang a pair of songs from her Album of the Year-nominated Lemonade. She performed “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles” while pregnant with twins.
Wearing a golden crown and surrounded by more than a dozen dancers, Queen Bey moved gracefully through “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles” — at one point, pulling off a gravity-defying chair stunt. Beyoncé, who was introduced by mom Tina Knowles, began and ended her performance with the words of poet Warsan Shire, which she also sampled in “Lemonade.
Beyonce went into Sunday’s awards show with a leading nine nominations and won one in the early going for her “Formation” music video. It was Adele who opened the music industry’s big night on Sunday, with two early awards under her belt and a performance of her soaring hit ballad “Hello”
When she picked up the award for best urban contemporary album, she explained the inspiration for making “Lemonade.”
“My intention for the film and album was to create a body of work that would give a voice to our pain, our struggles, our darkness and our history. To confront issues that make us uncomfortable,” she said.
She continued: “It’s important for me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirror, first in their own families, as well as the news, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the White House and the Grammys, and see themselves and have no doubt that they’re beautiful, intelligent and capable. This is something I want for every child of every race.”
