It was crazy doing the Grammys because I had some of my original material out on the EPs, but the first live show I played outside of Nashville was the Grammys," Ekko told MTV News, expressing his disbelief. "At the Grammys was my first time wearing in-ear monitors and there were just a ton of factors...knowing it was coming whether I wanted it to or not [and thinking], 'This is your shot, you can either blow it or not.' "
Luckily, Rih knew just what to say in that moment of panic. "She walked over to me right before the curtains went up and she said, 'I'm so nervous.' And that, for me, was one of the most calming [things]. It made me feel like...[OK], it's totally natural. It reminded me of being in high school at a talent show...except it was a world stage."
I think its natural for any artist to get nervous ,but I must say the image Rihanna potrays definetely made me think she's not one those ,just goes to show how little we know about the real people behind the image ....
