Bootylicious diva Beyonce has announced she’s taking a break from music next year in order to explore the world. The ‘Single Ladies’ singer, who has recently finished a world tour, explains she wants to focus on life outside of the world of showbiz.
She says, “I’m going to take, hopefully, a couple of months off. I’m not going to plan anything. I’ll perhaps take some art classes, I’ll visit some museums and I’ll check out some shows on Broadway. I’d like to travel somewhere – maybe back to Egypt, without anyone, without any security – and focus on things I’ve always wanted to do myself.”
But – never fear – Beyoncé will be back in the spotlight for the Grammy Awards. The nominations have just been announced and she leads the pack with 10 nods, including for Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Country newcomer Taylor Swift came in a close second with eight nominations, while her nemesis Kanye West was completely snubbed, receiving no mention for his latest album ‘808s & Heartbreaks’.
