“That magic. That excitement. To see the fans, to see the crowd. To see show business again. It took a lot, a lot out of me,” she continued. “But my son, René-Charles, R.C., came and gave me his support,” she added.
The singer also said that presenting the Grammy for Album of the Year, the award she received in 1997 for Falling Into You, was “an honor because [Swift] is having the time of her life and I’m the one who’s presenting it to her.”
