'I was inspired by Priscilla Presley in the Seventies... Married to Elvis Presley, of course,' she told Ryan Seacrest on E!

Ryan joked that he had luckily had a lot of practice at staying focused when at that eye level. 

One person who managed to avoid staring was her supportive boyfriend John Mayer, who instead stared straight into Katy's eyes as the pair cuddled up inside.

Sat side by side, their hands clutched firmly, the pair were the picture of a loving couple.

It comes as Mayer said his relationship with Katy felt 'very human'.

The musician insists his romance with the Firework singer feels totally natural whereas he felt he was part of a celebrity circus with some of his previous partners.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, he said: 'I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. I know it is high profile.

'It's hard to explain ... For me it feels like something that's very human.'

The 35-year-old guitarist also admitted he has been thinking about marrying Katy, 28, in the future.

When asked if marriage could be in the pair's future, John answered: 'Of course. I mean, I'm still the kid from Connecticut. That's what you do.'

Meanwhile Katy's daring dress may have been revealing but it did comply with a memo from bosses at CBS, which screened the awards.

A Wardrobe Advisory warned that body exposure would not be tolerated at the event. 

The requirements specifically instruction to 'avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples.'

The 55th Annual Grammys airs on 4Music at 10pm on Monday.
