Adele's Celebrity Idol: Beyoncé

Both Adele and Beyoncé have expressed love for each other, but the "Hello" singer really made her admiration known when she praised Beyoncé at the 2017 Grammys. After winning record of the year and album of the year, beating out Beyoncé in both categories, Adele made sure her idol still got all the recognition she deserved.

"I can't possibly accept this award, and I'm very humbled, and I'm very grateful and gracious, but the artist of my life is Beyoncé," she said. "And this album to me, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental, Beyoncé, so monumental, and so well thought out, and so beautiful and soul-bearing, and we all got to see another side to you that you don't always let us see. And we appreciate that, and all us artists here f*cking adore you. You are our light, and the way that you make me and my friends feel—the way that you make my Black friends feel is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you, I always have, and I always will."
