Katy Perry says winning a BRIT Award is like "being knighted".
The US singer - who picked up the Best International Female accolade at London's Earl's Court on Wednesday night (18.02.09) - is still thrilled by her victory and can't think of a better honour.
Katy - who donned sexy skin-tight PVC leggings and a pink and black Hello Kitty corset for the glitzy ceremony - wrote on her blog "Oh my gawd. I'm am SO happy. I've won a BRIT. That's like being knighted practically! Maybe even better. Thank you. Didn't expect THAT!
"I just thought I'd show up in my ridiculous hello kitty top and get worse dressed and leave ) (sic)".
The 24-year-old singer revealed she was ill during her acceptance speech. Upon collecting her statuette from Lionel Richie, she said "Holy st! I'm so sick right now, but they said come along something good might happen."
Shortly leaving the stage, the 'Hot N' Cold' singer was violently sick and is now recovering in bed.
She wrote "I can't tell you how bad I feel right now. Last night I was sweatin it out, but yeah, lets just say this kitty does not look so pretty right now. I have the doctor on speed dial if the fever gets over 101102. I thought I was invincible and then my body decides to show me otherwise. I'm stuck in bed for the next couple of days as I should be. Im upset because Top Shop is right around the corner and I can't move outta my sweat bed. Fing flu.
"I can't wait to come back to the brits next year. and not puke (sic)."
