The wait is over: Beyoncé thrilled during her Grammys performance, showing off her recently announced baby bump. She sang "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles," with video components featuring her mother and daughter; elaborately staged tableau; and a lot of female empowerment—her voiceover said, "Your mother is a woman and women like her cannot be contained":
She was dressed as the Yoruba goddess of "river and fresh water, luxury and pleasure, sexuality and fertility, and beauty and love," who was referenced in her "Lemonade" album.
