Beyoncé may have been pipped to the Album of the Year Grammy by Adele, but it seems that her live performance at last night's awards went a little more smoothly than her rival's, at least.
The expectant mother performed 'Love Drought' and 'Sandcastles', both from last year's 'Lemonade' - her first live performance since her announcement that she is pregnant with twins - after she was introduced by her mother, Tina.

Other performers included Lady Gaga, who performed 'Moth Into Flame' with Metallica, a song taken from their most recent album 'Hardwired... to Self-Destruct'. Their performance also had 'technical difficulties' as frontman James Hetfield's microphone was not working.
