The award-winning television special included the singer's first live performance in six years, filmed at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. It also included an extended interview with Oprah Winfrey, and was the most-watched special since the Oscars as of its airing last November.
The 30 singer is now only a Tony Award away from joining the elite group of artists who won all four of the entertainment industry's biggest awards. There are only 17 EGOT winners, including West Side Story's Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, and Jennifer Hudson, who won a Tony in June for producing the musical A Strange Loop.
The singer also skipped the VMAs this year, as the famously-private artist is likely preparing for her rescheduled Las Vegas residency, which will start in November. She was recently spotted enjoying a romantic Italian getaway with her boyfriend, NBA agent Rich Paul, last July.
