Adele Says Britney Spears is a Queen: 'I Love Her'

Adele wears her favorite color and a pair of cute animal-print slip-on shoes on Wednesday night (November 25) in New York City.

The 27-year-old “Hello” singer recently opened up about her love for Britney Spears.

“Britney is the queen,” Adele told NPR. “I love her. So yeah, sometimes it is a bit intense. But I usually crack a joke, and then it breaks the ice.”

As for people crying to her music, Adele said, “I take it as a huge compliment, really. You know, I listen to music as a fan, for the outlet of my emotions and stuff like that. So the fact that people seem to be listening to my music for the same thing, or react to it in the same way I do with certain artists and bands, it’s really wonderful, and that’s why I like to put my music out there. Obviously, I hope that I bring joy to people’s lives, not just sadness. And I find that most people feel quite relaxed around me. I’ve met a couple that, have been a bit hysterical – like, uncontrollable shaking and stuff like that. But I’m like, “C’mon. Stop it. It’s just me. I’m not Britney. What’re you doing?”
