Beyoncé’s performance, which was a medley from her album, including hits “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles,” was one of the more eye-catching shows of the evening and was complete with visual homages to Oshun, a goddess of love and empowerment.

For much of the subdued performance, Beyoncé was seated as dancers slowly moved around her.

Earlier this month, Beyoncé announced that she was pregnant with twins.
