Beyonce opened the 56th Grammy Awards on Sunday with her new song Drunk In Love, which appears on her surprise fifth studio album released in December 2013.

The 32-year-old, who wore a black sheer body suit and sported a short hairdo, started the performance dancing provocatively on a chair.

She was then joined on stage by her hubby Jay Z. The rapper wore a black suit and a bow tie as he performed his verse on the track.

Beyonce and Jay Z were also nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for the song Part II (On the Run) off the rapper's twelfth studio album released last July. This makes Beyonce the most nominated female Grammy artist alongside Dolly Parton with 46.

This year's Grammys were hosted by rapper LL Cool J, who also held the same title at the 2013 award show.

"Just being a part of it is great," he told Us Weekly. "I mean, winning is always going to be the best. I mean, nothing tops winning! But it's always fun being involved and it's fun hosting. This is a good time."
