'To hit that one note, to hold it as long as you did, and to hit another one at the end…you're showing America that you really want to be here,' said Pharrell Williams, while Blake said he was her 'biggest fan'.

'This isn't about artistry at this point, this is about a friendship…if there's anything I can do to help you in the future,' he consoled.
