Her self-titled album debuted at number 1 and ranks 24 on the year's list of best-sellers three days after release. So Beyonce had every reason to shake it up as she took her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour to Washington D.C. on Wednesday.
美國流行歌手碧昂絲，她的同名新專輯《BEYONCE》於上週五(13號)無預警於iTunes上架，才短短三天，全球締造82萬次驚人銷量，成為iTunes史上銷量最快專輯！憑藉僅僅三天的銷量，就成為本年度第24賣的專輯，登記全球108國iTunes專輯榜冠軍。
取得如此傲人的成績，碧昂絲有十足的理由在舞台上又唱又跳，她的《卡特夫人秀 世界巡迴演唱會》於週三來到華盛頓。
She had the confidence of experience as she strolled forward in black booties, with microphone in hand, towards her audience. Beyonce's tour kicked off in April and, after countless shows and travelling around the globe, the entertainer still had the energy of a wildcat.
碧昂絲豐富的演出經驗，使她散發十足的自信與舞台魅力，大展天后之姿。世界巡迴演唱會從四月展開，即使經過全球無數場次的演出，她仍帶來精湛舞蹈和完美演唱，熱力絲毫不減，驚人的體力令人佩服。

專輯當中收錄14首全新單曲和17支音樂錄影帶，這回請到嘻哈歌手Drake、R&B新秀Frank Ocean、澳洲才女Sia、流行天王Justin Timberlake、知名製作人Pharrell等音樂人合作，當然也少不了她的老公「嘻哈天王」Jay Z，他們1歲半的愛女Blue Ivy也「獻聲」。
Beyonce also shares that nothing compares to the love of her family.
'Nothing feels like my child singing "mummy,"' Beyonce reveals. 'No, nothing feels like when I look my husband in the eyes, nothing feels like when I'm respected, when I get on the stage and I see I'm changing peoples lives.'
碧昂絲表示家庭帶給她無比的愛與快樂。
她說：「我的寶貝女兒和我的先生是我生命中的一切。」
「當我在舞台上表演時，我覺得我受到尊敬，擁有感染人群的力量是件非常棒的事。」
