Beyoncé the best of the night.
Starting things off with the biggest bang ever! Beyonce and Jay Z kicked off the Grammys 2014 inside L.A.'s Staples Center Sunday, Jan. 26 with a performance that'll be difficult to top. Although rapper Jay Z, 44, is the one up for multiple statues this year for his Holy Grail album, Blue Ivy's mom and dad selected a duet-track from Beyonce's late-December surprise album, "Drunk in Love" for their set.

For the opening performance of the 2014 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé and Jay Z tag teamed on “Drunk in Love.” The joint performance opened with Bey sitting on a chair with her back to the audience, belting out the slow, sexy lyrics – taking a few moments to give a sultry glance to onlookers at home. The stage was dark and smoke surrounded the superstar until she finally got up and started to strut a bit. When Jay Z came out for his verse, the audience erupted. The pair held hands, slow-danced a bit and got the show off to a steamy start. It was a near flawless performance — and the first time they’ve played this song together in public live.

Beyoncé set the stage on fire with her opening performance at the Grammys.
We’re not even through hour one of this year’s Grammys telecast, but already it seems like it might be all downhill from here. Beyoncé kicked the night off with a sexy, scorching version of “Drunk in Love” with her husband Jay Z, delivering a nearly note-perfect take on the surprisingly hot marital relations that are one of the major themes of Beyoncé.
To top it off, she came through with double surfbort—a little service to her fans.

Jay Z and Beyoncé, music’s hottest power couple, kicked off the 56th GRAMMY Awards with their steamiest performance yet.
Lights shined down on a wet-haired, Chromat-wearing Bey’ as she straddled a chair to "Drunk In Love." Her husband, Jay Z, joined her for his collaborative rhymes, making it their first televised performance of the hit from her Internet-smashing self-titled album. No one could miss the smile that Jay sported while performing alongside his wife -- or his hand as it slid down to pat her shaking derriere.

The stage looked like the scene out of a sexy cabaret show, with Beyonce posing seductively on a chair, enveloped in smoke, as the curtains lifted. When the dim lights turned on and her first vocals came booming through the arena, you could almost taste the aroma of sex appeal in the air.
That chair might be the luckiest piece of furniture in the world, as Bey spent plenty of the performance grinding and werkin' it while seated, her mesh body suit leaving very little, but just enough, to the imagination.
