Before John Legend and Common closed the show with “Glory,” from the movie _Selma_, Bey performed the gospel song “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” (also featured in the movie, but sung instead by Ledisi) in an angelic ensemble [not unlike the outfits at her sister’s recent wedding](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/11/solange-wedding-beyonce-photos "undefined"). The singer, who won a Grammy earlier that night for “Drunk in Love,” has a personal connection the song: as Gwyneth Paltrow explained in her introduction to the set, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, used to sing it to her as a child. ### Grammys 2015: Red Carpet Photos  Taylor Swift attends the 57th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center on Feb. 8, 2015 in Los Angeles, Calif.
