After being introduced by her mother, Tina Knowles, Beyonce arrived on stage visibly pregnant wearing a gold dress and matching sun crown. It was the first superstar's first performance since announcing she was pregnant with twins on Instagram earlier this month.

Beyonce's stunning Grammy performance
Visibly pregnant, Beyonce performs at the Grammys in what is being called "an ode to black motherhood".
The 62-time Grammy nominee opened her performance with a spoken word piece, complete with a eerily beautiful lightshow that saw holograms of daughter Blue Ivy running around her feet.
She then performed Love Drought and Sandcastles, two songs from her latest album Lemonade while her family watched on from the audience.

Shortly after her performance was over, Beyonce was called back on stage to accept the Grammy for best urban contemporary album.
During her acceptance speech, the superstar said she wanted her music to teach her children that it's OK to "confront issues that make us feel uncomfortable".
"This is something I want for every child of every race," she said.
"I think it's right we recognise the past ... and fix our mistakes."
