beyonce take the stage. adele, when she took the stage and stopped, i actually thought it was a joke at first. remember when she performed at the grammys, there was that pitch issue. she didn't want that again. that's what she was referring to. she stopped and started again and the crowd was completely behind her. she swept the biggest awards of the night, song of the year, album of the year, beating out beyonce, she talked all about beyonce. take a listen. >> my life is beyonce. this album to me, the "lemonade" album, was just so monumental, beyonce, so monumental and so well-thought-out, and so beautiful, and soul-baring. we all got to see another side to you and we appreciate that. all our [ bleep ] adore you.
