She gave a shout-out to her 'beautiful husband' at the end of the opening concert of her Formation World Tour in Miami after days of speculation about the state of her marriage.
But in candid pictures from behind the scenes at the Marlins Park Stadium on Wednesday night, Beyonce is conspicuously missing her wedding ring, and Jay Z isn't wearing his band either.
The revelation is likely to re-ignite questions about what exactly is going on between the power couple who tied the knot in 2008 and have a four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
No band: But the photo also revealed
the singer, 34, is not wearing her wedding ring, days after she dropped
her new album Lemonade in which she rages about being a woman scorned
and 'throws away her ring'
Just a a
few days ago, Beyonce unleashed her surprise new album Lemonade with a
one-hour special on HBO in which she performs the song Sorry, about
infidelity.
She's
seen swinging a baseball bat in anger as the city goes up in flames
behind her as she rages against 'Becky with the good hair' who's stolen
her man.
And
in the video accompanying the track Don't Hurt Yourself, the singer
takes off her ring and throws it at the camera as she sings: 'If you try
this s**t again, you gonna lose your wife.

Making a statement? Despite the whole
world wondering about the state of his marriage, the Tidal mogul kept
the fourth finger on his left hand bare
While
the absence of the $5 million diamond ring given to her by Jay Z might
be explained as taking a wise precaution while she's on stage
performing, the 34-year-old wasn't wearing it either as she hung out
with Blue Ivy ahead of the tour kick-off.
Jay Z, who was photographed chatting with support act DJ Khaled before the concert, was also minus his wedding band.
The
couple also had the Roman numeral IV inked on the fourth finger of their
left hands to symbolize their official union on the 4th of April, 2008.
But the tattoos are fading and appear not have been re-inked.

Most
of the discussion since the Lemonade album dropped has focused on its
no-holds-barred lyrics, which simmer with the rage of a woman scorned.
It sparked widespread speculation about whether Jay Z had cheated on his stunning wife and if so, who he had cheated with.
The
gossip led by the ultra-loyal Bey Hive alleged that the 'Becky with the
good hair' who's been the object of his attentions was either American
fashion designer Rachel Roy or British singer Rita Ora.
Both women took to social media to deny the allegations and to insist that the rumors were false.
