The 28-year-old singer got engaged to 'Young and the Restless' star Max Ehrich in July, after just four months of dating, but the pair ended their engagement in September.

And during her opening monologue, the pop star joked about 2020 being "the longest three years of my life" amid the coronavirus pandemic, before going on to poke fun at her love life.

She said at the virtual ceremony at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on Sunday (15.11.20): “I am so excited to be here tonight because honestly this year has been the longest three years of my life.

“Don’t get me wrong, it started out amazing. I performed at the GRAMMYs and sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl. But then, COVID hit, and everything shut down.”

She added: “So I did what everyone else did, I went into lockdown mode, and got engaged.

“I got into painting, photography, meditation, tested the limits of post mates unlimited. Also, I didn’t know this could happen, but reached the end of Instagram four times. I binged seven seasons of ‘Pretty Little Liars’, got unengaged, then went looking for aliens in the desert.

“So basically the same as everyone else."

Prior to her hosting gig at the weekend, the 'I'm Ready' hitmaker spoke about how much the People's Choice Awards mean to her.

She said: “This is actually the awards show that’s always meant the most to me. [The people] are the ones that get to vote. They are the ones casting the decision.

“And it’s not up to some academy that’s political or whatever. This is up to the people and that’s what this year’s been about, listening to the people. Finally, we’re doing it again, but it’s going to be less pressure and more fun.”
