The One Career Moment She's Really Proud Of

Idris Elba asked Adele, "You've inspired singers, you've created incredible albums — what's one tiny moment that you're most proud of?" Adele admitted that it was overcoming a fear and performing at Glastonbury Festival. She explained that she was asked to headline the 2016 festival while watching Kanye West's set there in 2015, and she was so caught up in the magic of a live Ye concert, she agreed.

Adele said she didn't think she'd ever actually show up for the set. And yet, she still got in her car, blasted Spice Girls the entire way to the festival to calm herself down (relatable), and was proud of herself for turning up and actually doing the damn thing. Adele said she probably felt like she couldn't perform Glastonbury due to imposter syndrome, but admitted that she thinks imposter syndrome can actually be a good thing. Keeps us humble, I guess.
