As Adele forced out the last few shaky notes and the piano keys haphazardly plinked to an end, the entire arena erupted into rapturous applause. A sea of expensive fabric and golden jewellery; the audience rose to their feet, rapidly mashing their hands together in giddy admiration. Adele smiled weakly, her heart sinking ever lower as the failings of her vocals still echoed in her mind. She always hated these high pressure performances, and she cursed herself for ballsing up what could have been a classic and iconic performance.
Strangely, it didn't seem to matter. They were still applauding; practically drooling at the mouth as they gazed at her with glazed eyes. Adele tried not to laugh bemusedly; she could never understand these people and their appraisal of mediocrity. Still, it was better than being derided.
A tall bony figure crept through the crowd and back to her seat. She was just in time, as the camera swooped around to catch her. Like a pro, she composed her features into utter joy and whooped and shouted louder than anyone around her. She didn't care if she was overdoing it, she had to be seen to follow public opinion. Taylor could see the disappointment playing on Adele's face, and the dark fire burning around her frosty heart blazed fiercly. There was no convincing the general public that Adele had ****ed up, but if the crooner herself was unhappy, then Taylor's malpractice had been a success. As she made to sit back down, a wire cutter dropped out of her pocket. Selena Gomez beside her looked down, puzzled, but a dark flash from Taylor instantly quelled her curiosity. Ms Swift hastily kicked the tool away from her.
Collin, continue!

A disengaged, weeping Rihanna began a worrying sprint from backstage as the commercial break began. Taylor knew what this was about; she grinned.
"THANK YOU," wept Rihanna, tossing herself into Taylor's arms. "She's ENDED! We don't have to live in fear anymore, gyal. It's our year." Selena Gomez snaps a photo giggling. "Thanks for Same Old Love!" she whispers behind the loud roaring sobs of Rihanna; the Bajan star swiftly bent over to pick up the wire cutter and slam Selena across the head as a pasta-y rat stench approached.
A musky, smelly Lady Gaga wants to get in on the action. "Hmph, Adoeel was quite nice!" she New York'd'ly
mumbled, as the three women stared, blankly.
Lady Gaga pulled up her Twitter feed. "Just look at the headlines! 'Adele SLAYS performance at Grammy's', 'Adele STEALS the night', 'Powerhouse Goddess receives massive standing ovation after game changing performance of All I Ask' - wow, she is truly an inspiration."
Rihanna's weeping ended abruptly; a look of lost, hopeless rage took form.
"Oh, what's this?" mutters a showbiz Gaga. "'A Lazy Rihanna skips Grammy's to Smoke Weed', 'Has Rihanna Lost Her Touch?', 'What Happened To Bajan Beauty's Performance?', 'Following Anti Bomb Rihanna Skips Grammy's To Go To The Beach (Photos Inside)'. Well that's just si-"
Rihanna shoves 2x4 Swift and, uncontrollably screeching, exits stage left just as the commercial break ends.
Taylor, shrugging, sips her vodka cranberry and takes her seat.
Hate that this is 100% Gaga.
This dumb PUTA. As if he even has headphones that support FLAC files. 
Go.
