She's going to have a ball! Beyonce is poised for kickoff in new snap released ahead of her Superbowl performance
|
It's the biggest honour an American artist can receive, well, after singing at a presidential inauguration that is, but as we all know... Beyonce already nailed that look.
So on Sunday, she gets to tick another box by performing the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans and possibly a chance to put the inauguration lip sync scandal behind her as she seemed to do at the press conference held on Thursday afternoon.
She explained herself there (it was all down to lack of rehearsals, the weather and technical faults) but for this most favourite of American daughters, it really never mattered.

After all, lip sync she might have but the gargantuanly successful beauty has got style, attitude and star quality in spades.
And she announced that she intends to sing live at Sunday's event after singing the Star Spangled Banner with no aid in front of the press conference on Thursday, telling them: 'It's what I was born to do.'
She showed this in shots from rehearsals for the event.
Beyonce even managed to make a long john-style onesie look sensational as she practiced and prepped.
In behind-the-scenes snaps for the dress rehearsal, the 31-year-old displayed her curves in the clingy attire.

And while Beyonce may have appeared as though she had just stepped out of bed, make-up free and her hair in tumbling curls, she looked cute and youthful.
Putting in her all for the practice run, Beyonce showed just what viewers of the famous half-time show are in for when they tune into the sporting event this Sunday.
After her miming controversy at Obama's Inauguration last week, the Crazy In Love star appeared to be singing live as well as exerting her famous dance moves.
Pared back: In other raw snaps, make-up free Beyonce was certainly not afraid to reveal a pared down look as she was seen wearing a beanie covering her long tresses and a basic black T-shirt
Lots of laughs: Beyonce added several pictures of herself in rehearsal via her Instagram and Tumblr, including shots of her lying on the ground laughing in the same hat
As well as Beyonce's personal snaps, a new Super Bowl promo photograph of the singer was released on Tuesday.
Dressed as a football referee in a striped and black hot pants, she shows off her curvy figure in daring thigh high boots.
When she steps on the stage on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Beyonce will be hoping to put the recent lip syncing controversy of her Inauguration performance behind her by putting on a dazzling show.
The diva was accused of miming the National Anthem at President Obama's inauguration ceremony, when a spokesman for the Marine Corps Band said she opted for a pre-recorded track of the song instead of singing live.

But hours later, a Marine spokesman backed off the claim and insisted he didn't know one way or the other: 'No one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded'.
Meanwhile, Beyonce is already stirring up a frenzy of anticipation for Sunday's show.
But amid swirling rumours, her Destiny's Child band-mate Michelle Williams recently denied that Beyonce would be reuniting with with the band for the show.
Michelle, 32, told WRUG Media: 'I'm going to be in the musical Fela! I hate to disappoint the people and tell them that it's not true.'
The singer is headlining a world tour of the Tony Award-winning show, which kicks off Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
But according to the show's website, she will intriguingly not be appearing in the show that day.

'I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry,' Williams said of the reunion rumours. 'But we did record a song with each other before the holidays.'
Destiny's Child - Love Songs, a greatest hits compilation of the group's most romantic recordings will feature a new song, Nuclear - their first in eight years.
However, Michelle did hint that a reunion outside the recording studio may still happen, saying: 'We have talked about it. You know, one day soon.'
