Lady Gaga "cried" because she was so overwhelmed at singing with Sir Elton John at the Grammys.

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 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."
