Beyonce “shocked” her husband Jay-Z when she declared her love for him in her Grammy Awards acceptance speech, insisting she didn’t mean to turn the spotlight on her notoriously private partner.
The R&B superstar took to the stage at the prestigious event last Sunday to accept a trophy for Best Female Vocal Performance – one of six prizes she took home on the night.
But Beyonce stunned her husband by thanking him in her acceptance speech, telling the crowd, “I’d love to thank my family for all their love and support, including my husband – I love you.”
The superstar confesses she was so giddy from her win she didn’t realize what she was saying – but now recognizes she overstepped the line because the couple rarely talk about their marriage.
Beyonce tells Access Hollywood, “He was shocked. He was just like, ‘What did you say?’ I was just like, ‘What did I just do? No, I didn’t just say that.’ I was so happy, I could’ve said anything. That’s why I ran off the stage.”
But the Halo hitmaker insists Jay-Z wasn’t angry with her for the slip, revealing: “He said you have six Grammys and you smell good.”
