Beyonce made her performance debut as the expecting mother of twins on Sunday with a New Age celebration of women at the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n
The pop superstar, who leads the night\u2019s nominations, appeared for the first time in public since she set the internet ablaze with news that she is pregnant.<\/p>\n
Beyonce chose not to play it safe, instead of putting on an extravagant and abstract performance with touches of Indian spirituality and ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n
Beyonce was introduced by her proud mother before an image of the 35-year-old singer, her baby bump openly visible under her bra, flashed on the screen. She was also shown with her mother and daughter Blue Ivy, all in gold.<\/p>\n
The real Beyonce then appeared wearing a golden crown and flowing cape alongside dozens of female dancers, who made formations around her as they turned the stage into a sea of flowers.<\/p>\n
Beyonce sang two songs from her latest album, \u201cLove Drought\u201d and \u201cSandcastles,\u201d interspersed with spoken word incantations on women and their power.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we are going to heal, let it be glorious,\u201d Beyonce said.<\/p>\n
She ended the performance with a glance down to her husband, rap mogul Jay Z\u00a0and Blue Ivy, both of them beaming.<\/p>\n
The performance was in keeping with the new, edgier persona of Beyonce, who has geared her music away from the more mainstream audience of her pop hits.<\/p>\n
She was nominated for nine Grammys including the most prestigious category of Album of the Year for \u201cLemonade.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
