Beyoncé used her show-stopping NFL performance on Wednesday as a welcome distraction from the 'mess' her husband Jay-Z's rape lawsuit has caused for her family, a source has revealed.

'One major and wonderful turnout from her performance was that it gave her some time to not worry about anything that Jay is going through with his lawsuit,' the source explained. 'She was so consumed with her performance, so concerned with Blue Ivy and so consumed with all the details of the performance that it took away any thoughts of the mess that they will be dealing with as a family over the next few months,' they continued.

The source added that the Cowboy Carter hitmaker was able to release 'lots of stress' on stage during the halftime show. 'She's a professional and she and her crew knew that she was going to kill it, but those nervous jitters are what makes her tick, makes her still want to do it,' they said.
