That was definitely a crazy, crazy night. I don’t remember any words I said on stage because I was so nervous, but it was such an honour. And then I met Taylor and cried uncontrollably. [It was Swift who initiated contact, crouching down next to the newly crowned award winner’s chair to chat with her] I was so shocked – but instead of us both standing up, I crouched down with her, so we were both on the floor talking to each other. It looked so ridiculous. No one could talk to me after that happened, I was crying so much.
