Beyonce Reduced To Tears Following Obama Ball Performance

Beyoncé was left in tears after she performed for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance at the Neighborhood Ball.

The singer entertained fans with a cover version of Etta James' 'At Last' (watch a video of her performance here) and although she remained tear-free on stage, she quickly became emotional afterwards.

"I can't even describe to you how I felt," Beyonce told Good Morning America. "I'm actually right now fighting back tears because it's just so emotional."

"I'm just so proud of my country. There are just certain people in the world that God touches, and this man was born for this. And he was born to lead us, and I just feel so inspired and so proud."

Beyonce also opened-up about what was going through her head at the time she was singing 'At Last'.

"I was thinking all of the sacrifices Obama and his wife and his children have made, and at last he's here. I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed. I'm just so lucky to be a part of this history. It's probably the most important day of my life, and I'm so grateful."
