Wearing a bedazzled, rainbow-colored Tom Ford bodysuit throughout the
entirety of her performance, Queen Bey lit up the stage from her booty
poppin' moves to her killer vocals.

Starting off the set with the mid-tempo "Mine," Bey, 32, transitioned
into to favorites like "Drunk in Love" and "Partition," while also
including lesser-known songs like the sex jam "Rocket" and the
emotionally intense "Jealous."

While singing her hit "Drunk in Love," she was surrounded by dancers
covered in sparkling gold body paint in thongs and bras. After taking a
spin around a stripper pole during the lovably raunchy "Partition," the
noted feminist transitioned into her girl power anthem "Flawless."

She also sang a snippet of the Nicki Minaj "Flawless" remix,
in which she referenced the Jay Z/Solange Knowles elevator fight,
singing, "Of course sometimes s--t go down when there's a billion
dollars on an elevator."

Taking a turn for the emotional, the mother of Blue Ivy Carter, 2, then belted her song "Blue" while home videos of her daughter and husband Jay Z flashed behind her. She ended the performance singing her love song "XO," in a dedication to her many fans.
