Black Love Energy! Alicia Keys Pens Valentine’s Day Message To Swizz Beatz (Photos)

It’s all LOVE in Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz’s home! Days after Swizz defended his wife’s Super Bowl performance with Usher, the ‘No One’ singer returned the public praise.

Alicia took to her Instagram feed on Feb. 14 with some photographs of her and her hubby in what looks like a joyous moment! She shared three flicks of her sitting on the producer’s lap inside a private plane. It’s unclear where the couple was headed or whether the photos are recent.

However, their smiles in the pictures are undeniable. Alicia was dressed casually in tan pants and a white top, while Swizz rocked a black and neon green sweatsuit. Her socks, though, had a special touch — a photo of her and her husband. In the last picture, Alicia and Swizz seemed to be toasting with a bit of brown!

Her short caption, aka her Valentine’s Day message, said:

“I love u sooo deeply. Beyond words, beyond lifetime, beyond skies and universes. We soar!!!!”

Swizz Just Went To Bat Against Social Media For Alicia & Usher

Two days ago, TSR reported on Swizz Beatz’s response to Alicia and Usher’s intimate halftime show. The two took the 2024 Super Bowl stage, after much speculation, for a live rendition of their hit song, ‘My Boo.’ At one point, Usher slid behind Alicia, holding her by the waist, closing his eyes as they both proved their mics were ON!

Folks on social media ate up the performance and, from Swizz’s reaction afterward, read way too muchinto the rehearsed performance. He addressed speculation about whether he felt offended by praising both performers!

“Y’all talking about the wrong damn thing!! Y’all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium. Tonight’s performance was nothing but amazing, with two amazing Giants! Congrats @ Usher and my love @ aliciakeys that song is a classic,”Swizz wrote.
