Lizzo says she and Adele were 'so drunk' at the Grammys they didn't know what category was announced when Lizzo won record of the year: 'I was in total shock'

• Lizzo said on "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" that she and Adele got "so drunk" at the Grammys.
• Lizzo said that Adele had asked specifically to sit next to her at the event.

Lizzo said that she and Adele were "so drunk" during the Grammy Awards ceremony that they had no idea what categories were being announced.

According to clips taken from the ceremony, the two pop stars seemed to be having the time of their lives with each other, and at one point Lizzo filmed Adele as part of a TikTok celebrating Harry Styles' win for album of the year.

Speaking on "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" on Friday, Lizzo said that she was "in total shock" when she was announced as the winner of record of the year because she'd lost track of what was going on.

"I legitimately was so drunk. Me and Adele were drinking so much that we didn't even really know what the categories were at this point," the Grammy award-winning artist said. "We were like, 'Wait did they do the best new artist?' We didn't even know and then when it was time and they would call our names, we would just be like, 'Smile, smile.'"

Lizzo continued: "When they called my name I was actually in total shock because I didn't expect to win at all let alone in a big one. That's a big award to win, record of the year."

Lizzo received her fourth Grammy award at the ceremony for her hit song "About Damn Time." The singer also performed the song at the ceremony along with another song from her latest album, "Special."

Lizzo also told radio host Duran, and his cohosts Danielle Monaro and Gandhi, that Adele specifically asked to sit next to her at the event.

"I had zero say in where I was sitting but Adele had 100% say in where she was sitting so therefore Adele FaceTimed me when I was in [a] Grammy rehearsal a few days before and she was like, 'Oh my god, oh my god, we're sitting next to each other,'" Lizzo recalled, imitating Adele's accent.

She continued: "Literally, it was the same day that the seating charts were on the internet. Like, it came out hours later, but yeah, she was like, 'I want to sit next to you.' I was like, 'Well, great, because I wanted to sit next to you.'"

During the interview, Lizzo revealed she was drinking tequila from her flask on the night and she had brought Sauvignon blanc for Adele in another flask but ended up drinking that too.
