Bey also sent her first tweet Thursday: “Hey World, It's B! I'm so excited to invite you to my new beyonce.com - we've been working hard, and it's finally ready for you XO." In just six hours since her inaugural tweet, Beyonce has notched an impressive 3.6 million followers.

Until recently, Beyonce and husband had been known for refraining from speaking publicly about their relationship and family. After the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy Carter in January, the power couple opted to use Tumblr to share the first images of her. Jay-Z also shared a very personal rap, titled "Glory," in the days following their daughter's birth. In the track, posted to Jay's Life + Times social website, the rap mogul included Blue Ivy's newborn cries and revealed that Beyonce had previously suffered a miscarriage.

Fans can see Beyonce onstage May 25, 26 and 27 at the Revel resort in Atlantic City. Tickets go on sale April 6.
