The blonde singer also revealed that picking up her latest Grammy has been another exciting moment on her rise to fame since winning “American Idol,” saying, “I think it’s all been such a whirlwind,” she said. “It started so quickly and it’s never slowed down – it’s amazing to think I ever ended up here, I don’t know how it happened. But I’m glad.”

On she ran into other celebrities before the Grammy’s like “American Idol” judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, she explained, “I actually saw Randy and Paula last night at Clive Davis’ party,” she said. “They’re just so happy to see us.
