Beyoncé reigns at MTV Video Music Awards

Bow down: Beyoncé was the reigning queen of the MTV Video Music Awards.

The diva closed the awards show with an epic nearly 20-minute performance. Tears streamed down her face as she was joined onstage by her beaming husband and daughter, amid the numerous rumours surrounding her marriage.

Beyoncé sang and danced in a metallic leotard while Blue Ivy and Jay Z watched from their seats at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
