Beyonce poses naked in gorgeous new pregnancy photos

Beyoncé followed up the bombshell announcement that she's expecting twins on Wednesday by posting a slew of pregnancy photos on Thursday morning.

The singer, who already shares 5-year-old heir to the thrown, Blue Ivy, with husband Jay-Z, is seen posing in a series of different settings that were presumably all part of one large photo shoot to gear up for her big reveal.

Some of the jaw-dropping photos show the "Formation" chanteuse swimming scantily-clad underwater and showing off her new figure. Wearing fabric draped around her in assorted colors, Beyoncé looks ethereal and powerful and happy.

Another batch of photos features Blue staring at and kissing her mother's growing belly -- she's clearly excited to become a big sister to not one, but two, new siblings!

Beyoncé is also completely naked in a handful of black-and-white photos, using just her hands and her hair to cover her private areas. They're truly gorgeous photos that put her new bump front and center.

"I have three hearts," the page containing the photo reads multiple times.

In her initial pregnancy announcement on Wednesday, the multi-talented singer -- who is up for nine Grammy Awards, taking place in less than two weeks -- spoke on behalf of her expanding family with a simple, appreciative message.

"We would like to share our love and happiness," the caption read. "We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters."

The photo that she posted of herself is now the most-liked photo in the history of Instagram, with over 8 million likes at the time we published this post. It surpassed Selena Gomez's Coca-Cola Instagram ad in less than 8 hours.

Beyoncé is also scheduled to perform during both weekend's of Coachella in April. She was announced as the buzzed-about headlining act at the beginning of this year, and the music festival's organizers reportedly had absolutely no idea that she was pregnant. TMZ reported on Wednesday that her performance was "up in the air" at this point, considering that she'll be close to full-term by the time the event rolls around.
