The singer didn't let her pregnancy prevent her from bringing the house down with an energetic performance.



She cheered on her husband Jay-Z, who performed new single Otis with Kanye West, before taking to the stage herself.

After a fabulous performance of Love On Top that attracted a standing ovation from the audience, Beyonce ripped open her jacket and proudly rubbed baby bump.



The cameras panned to the audience where Jay-Z was beaming, as his friend Kanye jumped up and down, smacking the father-to-be on the back.

Beyonce, who has won 16 Grammy awards, said in a recent interview that she feels she has achieved enough in her career to settle down and make family a priority.



'When you're young - 18 or 19 - you have the energy and drive. That's the time to work as hard as you can,' she told the September issue of In Style.
