Adele admitted Thursday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that her private reaction to her botched performance at the Grammys Monday night was entirely different from the brave face she put on in public.
"I cried pretty much all day [Tuesday]," Adele said of her reaction to the technical difficulties that made her performance sound "pitchy." "In fairness, I would've cried if it had gone really well as well. ... I kept spontaneously bursting into tears yesterday but it was all right, I'm fine."
