Adele took home all her nominations on Grammy's last night. What she did not took home is the opportunity to sing with Beyoncé and Rihanna.

Though Beyoncé may be Adele's special inspiration, the British chart-topper turned down the chance to perform with the American singer, songwriter and actress as well as Rihanna to instead show an all-star tribute medley to the late, pop superstar George Michael. Adele perform the wild, energetic pop music 1996's "Fastlove" by turning this upbeat song into a sad ballad

As reported by American Top 40, her slowed-down rendition of "Fastlove" was a sudden sidestep of the original plan in which should include a song of different tempo and era like "Freedom" and "One More Try" that involved Bey, Rih and Corden, each taking a verse in the songs for one ultimate mash-up. This is unveiled by the Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich according to a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Adele's sad and slow version of Michael's 1996 hit "Fastlove" wasn't the supposed original for the pop icon's tribute. It could have appeared on a very different tone at the ceremony on Sunday (February 12).  

According to Daily Mail, While the evening itself was to crown Adele's second Album of the Year. She also honored Beyoncé's album "Lemonade" with her speech.

"But I can't really accept this award. And I'm very humble and I'm very grateful and gracious, but my artist of my life is Beyoncé. This album you made, the 'Lemonade' album, is so monumental," Adele said when receiving her award for the album of the year.

On Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, the singer addressed the rumor that she turned down a song with Beyoncé. "There's a rumor going round that I turned Beyoncé down," she said.  "Which I would never be so disrespectful as to do. I'd never disrespect her like that. Obviously, like, Queen Bey 'til the day I die."

Repeating her accomplishments from 2012, the British star won album, song and record of the year at the Grammys with her successful album "25". She's the first artist in Grammy history to sweep the top three categories twice, and now has a total of 15 Grammys. Adele also gained the award for best pop vocal album and pop solo performance.
