KMazur/WireImage Though they've kept much of the ceremony under wraps in the years since, they've offered fans a few glimpses of their big day, and in 2017, Lawson shared a never-before-seen wedding portrait of the couple to mark their anniversary. Beyoncé recently opened the 2022 Oscars with an elaborate, tennis-themed performance of "Be Alive," which was nominated for Best Original Song. Back in September, she told Harper's BAZAAR that she was working on new music, and had been in the studio for a year and a half. "Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare," she said. "One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies. Still, there's nothing like the amount of love, passion and healing that I feel in the recording studio. After 31 years, it feels just as exciting as it did when I was 9 years old. Yes, the music is coming!"
