Over the weekend at the Glastonbury Festival, she headlined Saturday night’s festivities where she behaved like a goddess and sang a bunch of ballads. Whenever she messed up a line, she cursed about it. The pop diva said stuff like, “S–t, I did that wrong. Perfect time to f–k up a song, headlining at Glastonbury.” In fact, she peppered in so many f-bombs that it splintered fans on social media.

Thanks to her delivery, which continues to be down-to-earth and amazing, she kept the mood light.
