CBS have now confirmed it was not a stroke and she is fine, so it's okay to laugh. It appears it was just a major attack of nerves!

Turns out she had migraine aura, a type of migraine that can mimic symptoms of a stroke:

"I knew something wasn't right as soon as I opened my mouth. I hadn't been feeling well a little bit before the live shot. I had a headache, my vision was very blurry. I knew something wasn't right, but I just thought I was tired. So when I opened my mouth, I thought, 'This is more than just being tired. Something is terribly wrong.' I wanted to say, 'Lady Antebellum swept the Grammys.' And I could think of the words, but I could not get them coming out properly."
