Elle King ‘accidentally’ got high on pot muffins before the Grammys

wenn30908583

I am not as familiar with singer Elle King as I should be. I love Ex’s & Oh’s and I also enjoyed Good Girls from the Ghostbusters soundtrack but I don’t know the rest of her music. Just listening to the samples on iTunes, I love her vibe. None of that has anything to do with this story other than to say that the more I do know about Elle (who I hope is more politically savvy than her father), the more I think she might be fun to get a beer with. And, from everything I have read, she will generally have a beer on hand for me, as well as other mind-altering treats. Elle accompanied Dierks Bentley (I never tire of saying that name) to the Grammys to perform their duet It’s Different for Girls (not one of my favorites). Although her performance was fine, she did seem rather loose on stage and definitely was feeling at home on the red carpet. It turns out she had some help, thanks to one too many pot confections:

Note to self, don't eat a bunch of pot muffins before the Grammys red carpet. #AccidentallyHighAF

This might be only funny to me but I giggled more than I should about Elle’s, “something shiny,” comment. When I turned on the CBS Red Carpet show, The Mister saw Keltie Knight in that dress and asked why were the people being interviewed by micronauts.

Let’s admit two things are true here: 1) Elle didn’t “accidentally” do anything and 2) the result was she probably enjoyed this year’s Grammys more than anyone else who endured it.

Poor Elle has found herself on many worst dressed lists for the fussy floral pink ballgown she wore to the Grammys. I don’t know, I agree with Kaiser, I loved her look. Granted I tend to favor drama in fashion but this dress not only matched Elle’s loud personality, I actually thought it was a pretty dress on its own. And the floral headband matched the overall look but oh my stars, when she called herself a Snapchat filter? I can’t unsee that now. In typical Elle fashion, she left all her f—ks on the matter in her other handbag:

I also loved the dress she wore to the Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party:

The back!

Well that was fun…Clive, you never let us down.

I’m all about trains and capes, though. Like I said: DRAMA!

I don’t have much other news about Elle. She is still engaged to her out-of-the-spotlight boyfriend Andrew “Fergie” Ferguson and they keep posting pics of their adorable pup, Sugar, on Instagram (Fergie’s is still private). She was a part of the Kristin Wiig, Stevie Nicks, etc. tribute to Tom Petty with MusiCares. And, apparently, she is as big a Golden Girls fan as the rest of us, even dressing up as Sophia to announce her cover of the theme song.

    Well, that explains the dress.

    • smith says:

      Yea I’m digging her. Seems fun in an easy, organic way. Kind of the opposite of Chrissy Teigen.

      EDIT: Also, tread lightly with edibles, they sneak up on you. I’m sure she meant to get high, just maybe not quite that high.

  2. Jellybean says:

    I love it. people who have fun and don’t take it seriously should be encouraged. I always look forward to seeing Helena Bonham Carter. Nothing turns me off more than the trout pout pose. I gather Victoria Beckham is a nice woman, but watching clips of her posing on the red carpets makes me want to slap her. (only a turn of phrase, I have never struck anyone in life)

  3. ElleBee says:

    I like the dress but perhaps the Grammys wasn’t the occasion for it. The second look is gorg. No one gets high accidentally. The taste and smell of anything with weed in it is apparent

    • detritus says:

      Exactly. No one thinking it’s a straight muffin says ‘wow this is delicious’ about an edible. Not unless your taste buds are dead.

      I’ve had some gummies that were excellent, but you still have that slight off taste.

      Unless you were already drunk first maybe?

      • elleBee says:

        Popcorn is also good but she couldn’t have been drinking our she would have been freaking out on the red carpet

    • smcollins says:

      I don’t think she got high accidentally, but rather got TOO high accidentally. I just get that impression from her stating that she ate *too* many muffins. They must have been some good muffins, though! 😉

      • Ellie says:

        YES, exactly, I think she meant she got TOO high by accident, which isn’t too tough to do with edibles because it’s harder to guess how much THC you’re actually taking in.

    • Juls says:

      My grandmother accidentally got high on pot brownies my sister made. (She has no sense of smell and almost no sense of taste, to be fair). She was talking on the phone and just kept eating them, like 2 or 3 brownies. She was high af for a long time. That sh*t was HILARIOUS!

    • Brittney B. says:

      … have you all tried legal edibles, though? Like packaged and sold in dispensaries? Because I’ve enjoyed many chocolate bars and candies and cookies and fizzy drinks that taste perfectly “normal” in every way.

  4. Lindy79 says:

    I love her dress for the Clive Davis party

  5. anniefannie says:

    I soo wish she had switched dresses. The dress she wore to the Clive Davis party is soooo gorgeous. She looks like she’d be a fun hang.

  6. happinessinme says:

    Everyone knows what weed smells like, but it’s stil kinda funny.

  7. Alleycat says:

    I think it would have been funnier if she posted about it once and then left it. I don’t need a montage of pictures about how you accidentally hot high. Sounds v try hard.

  8. Kali says:

    Never heard of her before but suddenly I love her.

  9. JellyBeans says:

    I’m now a fan of this girl due to golden girls

  10. QQ says:

    LOVE he Clive Davis Party Dress she looks sexy! also I watched the Grammys high not accidentally so I can’t imagine being there on purpose with their crappy chairs not ABSOLUTELY off my gourd, or Taking in the Pregame like Riri Did

  11. kay says:

    wow, she is really sexy, and i am not usually attracted to blondes…

  12. Chelsey says:

    She is so cute. I have major cheekbone envy.

  13. Harryg says:

    Oh, I want pot muffins!

  14. NotSoSocialButterfy says:

    Gawd, I loooove her voice. America’s Sweetheart is one of my faves, even with its country twang, which I don’t ever gravitate toward at all. She is really talented, and I do think, one of those artists who will be producing great music for a long time.

    Check out the burn in this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF2C6KuN328

  15. NotSoSocialButterfy says:

    I just realized why I like her voice so much… I listened to “I Told You I Was Mean”, and at the beginning, especially, she is very Billie Holiday-esque!

  16. Micki says:

    Both dresses are beautiful on their own. The first one clashes horribly with her tattoos and the headpiece makes me think of a wholesome Hallmark movie.

    • susanne says:

      That’s the bummer about going tat crazy. It too often creates a too-much-going-on situation.
      Not hating on tattoos, but I would love to see that angel face and pretty skin in that dress.

  17. Mia LeTendre says:

    I live where pot is ,and edibles are no fragrant than anything else.

  18. Lucy says:

    She and Rih would get along well!
