But the singer was in good spirits at her BRITs homecoming, and even joked with reporters on the carpet that she was excited to get McDonald’s after the show. She, of course, also picked up a few awards.
“First of all, I didn’t realize there were that many songs nominated, I can’t believe that a piano ballad won up against that many bangers,” she said during her acceptance speech for Song of the Year, taking home the trophy for “Easy on Me.” “Thank you so much. It’s always a pleasure to be here. I always love coming home. The BRITs are such such a big part of my career from way back when when I was a little fetus.”
