“Brazil, I’m devastated that I’m not well enough 2 come to Rock In Rio. I would do anything 4 u but I have to take care of my body right now,” the “Poker Face” singer wrote. “I ask for your grace and understanding, and promise that I will come back and perform for you soon.”

As a result, she sadly must withdraw from this Friday’s Rock in Rio performance. Lady Gaga is under the care of expert medical professionals. She sends her love to all her fans in Rio and thanks them for their support and understanding.”

Gaga, who recently divulged that she suffers from fibromyalgia, continued, “I was taken to the hospital it’s not simply hip pain or wear & tear from tour, I’m in severe pain. I’m in good hands w/ the very best doctors.”

Maren Morris did not take Best New Artist, but she certainly made an impression in this subtly sexy purple number.
Getty Images
Despite some problems with a certain airline, it's clear that Jason Derulo's baggage made it through: The singer looks like a true showman in this three-piece and overcoat.
Getty Images
This is an example of when a little bit goes a long way. Her outfit is very simple, but Kristin Cavallari looks stunning in a plunging neckline and high slit.
Getty Images
"E!" host Giuliana Rancic looked cute in her white lace dress, although we could've done without the white belt.
Getty Images
The dress itself is okay, but overall, Celine Dion looks gorgeous.
Getty Images
Adele looks good in this dress, but we aren't wowed by the way the look was put together.
Getty Images
Lea Michele's outfit is cool and her body looks amazing in it, but her eye makeup makes her look like a corpse.
Getty Images
CeeLo Green looks silly, but you've gotta give him props for doing something this crazy.
Ryan Seacrest looks like a used car salesman in his velour brown jacket.
Heidi Klum is beautiful in this metallic dress, but it's way too casual for the Grammys.
Getty Images
Nick Jonas may be a budding sex symbol, but this jacket looks more Dolly Parton than debonair.
Getty Images
It's clear that the car ride to the Staples Center wasn't that forgiving on Taraji P. Henson's mini -- but the woman can wear anything.
Getty Images
We're not really sure what Katy Perry was thinking in this metallic Tom Ford number.
Getty Images
Sorry, Solange -- we tried taking a cue from your sister, but we can't seem to make lemonade out of this choice of yours.
Getty Images
Dressed for his Sunday errands, Skrillex makes a pit stop at the Grammys.
Getty Images
She's a beautiful girl with a crazy-good voice, but this convergence of trends -- cutouts, quilted, Balmain reminiscent nightmare -- just looks vulgar on Demi Lovato.
Getty Images
When we tried to pinpoint what Santigold's outfit reminds us of, we came up with "going to church," "kinky '70s secretary" and "girls scout troop leader." There's a lot going on here and none of it is good.
Getty Images
Of course, Lady Gaga marches to the beat of her own drum when it comes to fashion, but this is barely a look.

"Orange is the New Black" star Laverne Cox is wearing a leather dress that looks like it's bearing staples to keep it together. Cox is usually dead-on trend, but this punk-inspired gown feels dated.
