The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer's music is a far cry from hip hop but she admitted she's a big fan of the genre and loves the video to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' new track 'Downtown'.

She commented: "The dancing! The marching! The mopeds! The chariots! You have to give it to that video - how ridiculous it is. It played a lot with hip hop culture - and I love hip hop culture, I love the bigness, the grandness, the showing-off-ness of it, I appreciate it and I revel in it."

The 27-year-old superstar revealed she was even "in tears" while watching the clip for the song because she found it so hilarious.

She continued: "There's something about these guys mocking the extravagance of [the culture] that I really responded to. It really made me laugh - I was in tears watching it. And actually I think you can see Macklemore p***ing himself laughing at the end."

However, she confessed her favourite video is one created for electronic musician James Blake's cover of Joni Mitchell's song 'Case Of You'.

She explained to The Observer magazine: "My favourite video of all time is actually for James Blake's 'A Case Of You', the one that has Rebecca Hall in it - I can't watch it without my entire body shaking."
