Lady Gaga Cried Before Performing with Elton John

Lady Gaga was so excited to be performing with Elton John that she broke down in tears before the Grammys on Sunday. The 23-year-old singer was forced to make an emergency visit to her make-up artist shortly right before takikng the stage because she was crying over the overwhelming duet.

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 fantasizing 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."
