Adele Cried All Day After Off-Key Grammy Performance

If you were watching the Grammy’s live on Monday, or even saw a clip online, you may have noticed that Adele’s performance was less than stellar. Many would say she was rather flat or off-key. Adele took to Twitter immediately following her performance to explain her technical difficulties. “The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that’s what the guitar sound was,” Adele tweeted. “It made it sound out of tune. Shit happens. Because of it though… I’m treating myself to an in n out. So maybe it was worth it.”

While appearing on Ellen on Thursday,  Adele explained her Grammy performance once again. “Sound check was great … I was really excited, and then during the changeover the microphones fell onto the piano strings which is what the guitar noise was,” she told the talk show host. “Some people thought it was Bieber rehearsing, but it wasn’t him. We’re on great terms,” she joked before adding, “And then it kind of put the whole thing off really.”

She went on to tell the daytime host, “I’m always a bit pitchy anyways,” she added. “When I’m flat and I’m sharp, I’m just emotional. But it was fine. I wanted to tell everyone straight away because it seemed to be a lot of confusion as to what it was … I was so embarrassed.”

Adele admitted that she took her misstep extremely hard. “I cried pretty much all day yesterday … I kept like spontaneously bursting into tears yesterday. But it was all right. I was fine.”

She then said that she got over it with a treat of In-N-Out Burger and beer.
