A CBS promo that aired Jan. 19 confirmed the duo would hit the stage Jan. 26.
After some speculation last week, Beyonce has been confirmed to be taking the Grammy Awards stage on Jan. 26, alongside hubby Jay Z.
The appearance was confirmed in a commercial that aired on CBS on Jan. 19, listing the married couple among the performers of the upcoming ceremony. Taylor Swift, Lorde, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Daft Punk, Paul McCartney, Katy Perry and Kendrick Lamar are among the many other performers taking the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles next weekend.
The Grammy Awards has yet to announce the latest lineup additions, and whether or not Bey and Jay will collaborate onstage. Although Jay Z pops up on his wife’s latest hit single, “Drunk In Love,” the rapper is also entering the upcoming Grammy Awards with nine nominations, including best rap album for last year’s Magna Carta … Holy Grail.
On Friday, the Los Angeles Time reported that Beyonce and Madonna would be making surprise appearances at the 56th Grammy Awards on Sunday night. Madonna has yet to be formally added to the bill.
Beyonce’s upcoming Grammy moment will mark the singer’s first televised performance since the launch of her self-titled fifth album last month. Current sales for Beyonce stand at 1.5 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Kanye West on Madonna
“Madonna, I think, is the greatest visual musical artist that we’ve ever had. If you look at her photo log, the photographers that she was able to work with throughout her career framed her in the proper way. It was the proper context. It was that visual that made sure that everything was gonna cut through in a certain way.”

Statement from Madonna (regarding ‘N’ word at Instagram pic)
“I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the N word on Instagram. It was not meant as a racial slur.. I am not a racist. There’s no way to defend the use of the word. It was all about intention.. It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white. I appreciate that it’s a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression. Forgive me.”

Madonna Braves The Cold Of New York On Crutches
Moving slow, but still managing to get around town, Madonna set out today (January 17), aided by a pair of crutches in New York City.
The 55-year-old songstress took on the snow of the Big Apple in a long black winter coat with a fur coat, black snow pants and a pair of regular running shoes
The “Like a Virgin” singer injured her leg after suffering a fall while on vacation in Switzerland over the holidays, and hopefully she will be up-and-at-em soon!
We hope that Madonna’s leg injury will not also detract from her singing career, as she is set to continue writing and performing the soundtrack of family reality series “Dancing on Ice,” which continues throughout this winter season.

How I speak to her, is how I speak to you now, she just became a really good friend of mine”

Queen Bey is going to the Grammys. Beyoncé will reportedly perform at the 56th annual ceremony later this month.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the 17-time Grammy winner will take the stage at L.A.’s Staples Center for her first televised performance in support of her self-titled album. Since its surprise release in December, the project has sold 1.5 million copies in the U.S.
Grammy Awards show producer Ken Ehrlich would not confirm Bey’s performance, but did not deny it. “Let’s put it this way … We have a really great history that goes back to the early days of Destiny’s Child,” said Ehrlich. “I love working with [Beyoncé]. She’s incredible. She is so into what it is that she does and making sure that everybody who sees her walks away saying, ‘wow.’”
He added, “Should she be on the show this year? I would think that the potential is there for that kind of moment.”
The 32-year-old singer and her husband Jay Z are nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Part II (On the Run)” at this year’s show. She last performed “If I Were a Boy” and “You Oughta Know” during the 2010 telecast.

Beyonce, Madonna expected to perform at Grammys
Madonna and Beyonce appear to have their eyes locked on the Grammy stage.
The pop superstars are expected to be among the big surprise moments during next week’s ceremony, according to two sources with knowledge of the plans.
Late last year Beyonce pulled off one of the best-kept secrets in recent music history when she stealthily released her self-titled album without as much as a hint.
The Grammys is where she will make her first televised performance in support of the project — which shattered iTunes records upon its release in December — according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Madonna, however, is expected to pop up and lend guest vocals during a performance from one of the night’s nominees, an additional source confirmed.
Longtime Grammy Awards show producer Ken Ehrlich said he “can’t confirm” an appearance from Beyonce during an interview with Pop & Hiss to preview the show. Ehrlich didn’t confirm or deny Madonna’s involvement.
“Let’s put it this way … we have a really great history that goes back to the early days of Destiny’s Child,” Ehrlich added. “I love working with [Beyonce]. She’s incredible. She is so into what it is that she does and making sure that everybody who sees her walks away saying, ‘wow.’ ”
“Should she be on the show this year?” he continued. “I would think that the potential is there for that kind of moment.”
Other Grammy performers include Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr; Daft Punk with Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams and Stevie Wonder; Kendrick Lamar with Imagine Dragons; Lorde; Katy Perry; Pink and Fun’s Nate Ruess; Robin Thicke and Chicago; Macklemore & Ryan Lewis; Kacey Musgraves; John Legend; Taylor Swift; Keith Urban and Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Blake Shelton.
Reps for Madonna and Beyonce had yet to return requests for comment.
