You can say a lot of things about Hillary Clinton, but you can’t deny the woman has a sense of humor. Last night, the former Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for President made a surprise appearance during the Grammy Awards that led to quite the reaction, both in the room (the laughter and cheers were so loud that they almost made her difficult to hear) and across the interwebs.

Host James Corden held “auditions” for the spoken word version of Michael Wolff’s controversial “Fire and Fury”, which chronicles Donald Trump‘s first tumultuous year in the White House. The video began with stars like John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Cher, Cardi B, and DJ Khaled all reading excerpts, but the crowd totally lost it when a certain blonde appeared with the book covering her face and slowly lowered it to deliver a section that discussed Trump’s fear of being poisoned.
