Lady Gaga was so excited about performing with Sir Elton John at the Grammy Awards on January 31, 2010, she broke down in tears shortly before they were due on stage.

Lady Gaga "cried" because she was so overwhelmed at singing with Elton. The 23-year-old singer was so happy the pair got to perform a spectacularly extravagant duet - seated either side of a giant piano which sprouted hands - at the Grammy Awards on January 31, 2010, she was forced to make an emergency visit to her make-up artist shortly before she was due on stage.

She said: "I'm just so happy, I can't say enough and Elton was so amazing and the performance was really truly magical. I had been fantasising about this performance piece for a while and we got to do it... and I'm just really truly floored. I ruined all of my make-up right before the show. Crying... I was just so happy."

The 'Bad Romance' hitmaker picked up two awards at the event - Best Electronic/Dance Album for 'The Fame' and Best Electronica/Dance Song for 'Poker Face' - and dedicated her wins to her legion of fans. She told 'Access Hollywood': "This is not an award for me, it's for my fans. And I love my fans so much. And I wanted them to know that they should believe in themselves. And I wanted to be everything that they hoped I would be tonight, and that's what we got to do."
