The songstress, 28, belted out a passionate, bluesy rendition of “Love on the Brain” from her latest album, Anti. She rocked a fur-lined navy jumpsuit and bifocal-style sunglasses and completely slayed the performance with her impressive vocals. With no dancing or special effects, the pop superstar sang on stage solo, with her band behind eerie tattered sheets.
