Adele says she ‘s–t’ herself ‘the whole show’ when Lady Gaga attended her Vegas residency
Sometimes the stars get starstruck.
Adele revealed she “s–t” herself “the whole show” when Lady Gaga attended her Las Vegas Residency, “Weekends with Adele.”
“I’ve spent a bit of time with her, but I rate her so hard,” she explained to the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Thursday.
“I was like, ‘The show’s terrible. It’s rubbish. I’m singing terribly. I’m not funny. My dress is rubbish this week,’” she recalled.
“I was judging myself. And she’s not like that. But she made me really, really nervous.”
Adele, whose residency has been attended by hitmakers such as Shania Twain and Jennifer Lopez — and even the doctor who delivered her now-9-year-old son, Angelo — said she never knows who will be in the audience.

“I was judging myself. And she’s not like that. But she made me really, really nervous,” Adele told the Hollywood Reporter of the nerve-wracking night.
“She came in disguise. Well, not in disguise, she just wasn’t dressed up,” she further remembered. Getty Images for AD
However, she did know that Gaga, 37, would be in attendance.
“She came in disguise. Well, not in disguise, she just wasn’t dressed up,” the “Rolling in the Deep” hitmaker, 35, said.
Although her residency, which is hosted at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, has been well-attended, Adele noted there is one person she still hopes will make it.

“The only person I want to see it that hasn’t yet is my mum,” she revealed to THR.
“I’m going to wait — I want her to see it at the end. Because I think she’ll find it really emotional as well.”
Adele kicked off “Weekends with Adele” in November 2022 after a nine-month delay due to production issues.

At the time she announced the last-minute delay, the emotional singer said she was “gutted” to cancel on her fans so abruptly and that she and her team were “awake for over 30 hours now trying to figure it out.”
The Grammy winner’s residency will now end in June 2024 thanks to the final 32-date extension she announced in October.
“This residency, these shows have changed my life,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have.”
“I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have!”
She added, “Being on stage over the last year so up close and personal with an audience again after all these years has been a truly extraordinary restorative experience that I’ll never forget.”
