Less than two weeks into Donald Trump¹'s presidency², it seemed the only news from here on out would be political.

 

特朗普上任不到两周，所有的新闻似乎都来围绕着政治。
 

 

The new president and his flurry of executive orders and swift-moving, substantive³ changes to US policy and procedure seemed to leave little oxygen for any other headlines.

 

But even President Trump lacks the star power of Queen Bee.

 

Prior to the inauguration⁴, some fans joked that Beyonce should drop an album as Trump was being sworn in, and in doing so steal the spotlight⁵ from the new commander in chief.

 

Beyonce did one better: she announced, via a resplendent photo on Instagram, that she would be dropping something else - two something elses, in fact.

 

That's right - Beyonce is having twins. And the news has been welcomed by more than eight million of her followers⁶ - making it Instagram's most-liked post of all time.

 

In her photo announcement on Wednesday, Beyonce posed in just a bra and panties in an ethereal shot while surrounded by flowers and cradling her bump in an Instagram post.

 

She added a caption⁷, reading: 'We would like to share our love and happiness. 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.'
