Rao also stressed that she did not play “All of Me” because Legend was nearby, admitting that she did not immediately recognize the singer since he had a face mask on.

“I was playing it, and then he happened to appear after I started the song, so it was quite a shocking experience. I didn’t really recognize that it was him at first,” she was quoted as saying. “[He] had a mask on and then he took his mask off and his kids were there, [Chrissy Teigen, his wife] was there.”
