There were a lot of killer performances to talk about tonight at the 2011 VMAs, and it's hard to top years past show stoppers, but we gotta give it up to Beyoncé for saving such an AHHHH-MA-ZING lil' announcement exclusively just for us... Yeah, okay, and the rest of the world, too.
First, she showed up on the VMA Red Carpet looking all glowy and glam in a fab orange dress, and showed off her baby bump. And later, wearing a purple sequined tuxedo jacket and black slacks she launched into her lovely "Love On Top," opening the tune by saying, "Tonight I want you to stand up on your feet. I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me." *chills* We could picture little Jayoncé grooving in the womb along to the happy momma-to-be's serenade.
But then, wait, and THEN as she ended "Love On Top," for those who hadn't heard the news yet from the red carpet, Bey ceremoniously dropped her mic, unbuttoned her tux, put her hands on her hips and jutted her belly forward, and confirmed she was pregnant by RUBBING HER BUDDING BABY BUMP while beaming from ear to ear! Proud papa Jay-Z was on his feet, all smiles and clapping, then he saluted his wife on stage while his pal Kanye West gave him props and patted his back.
Sooooooo many congrats to you Beyonce and Jay! We can't wait to meet the little one!!!
+ See Beyonce reveal her baby bump during her performance of "Love On Top" at the 2011 VMAs!
