She told Stylist magazine: 'My husband was the first person who really said to me: "You're not going to dinner after that big awards show? Why?" It wasn't even part of my thinking to be like: "Wow, this is awesome. Look what we did."

'That wasn't the culture I was brought up in. I was working really hard and I don't know if I expected anything.

'When I began to know my husband, it would be little fun things he would do for me, or his friends. I never knew how he could know so many people.'

And while the singer is enjoying life at home, she will soon embark on a tour of the U.K. and will visit cities including Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and London between 18 and 30 May 2013.

She said: 'I’m so excited to be touring again and it’s great to be back in the UK! I Love it here and I’m looking forward to performing and feeling the energy of the crowd - there’s nothing like it. I plan to bring you something Emotional and exciting! I’m a brand new me!'
