Christina Aguilera performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for the first time over the weekend, when the 2014 edition took place, and she made her festival debut a truly memorable one because she brought her unborn child with her.

The diva, who is now carrying her second child (and her first with fiancé Matt Rutler) took to the stage to wow fans with a medley of some of her biggest hits, including “Lady Marmalade,” “Candyman,” “Dirrty,” “What a Girl Wants,” “Ain’t No Other Man,” and the motivational “Beautiful” and “Fighter.”

You will find her rendition of “Lady Marmalade” embedded in the video below.

Wearing skin-colored tights, a fancy headpiece, and a tiny black dress that hung to her baby bump, Christina proved that she’s not letting pregnancy cramp her performing style. She danced with her backup dancers while looking fabulous on her trademark high heels, she engaged the crowd and, as always, she delivered impeccable vocals.

Though her performing is as lively as ever despite the pregnancy, Christina will be taking some time off very soon. A few days ago, NBC confirmed that Gwen Stefani will replace her for the upcoming season of The Voice, but she’s expected to resume her mentoring duties after that.
