It's been more than a year since Adele began her Las Vegas residency in November 2022. Since then, her Weekends with Adele show has been loved by thousands, including one celebrity who made her question her performance.

It was Lady Gaga who inspired Adele's sudden self-doubt — and not because of anything specific she said or did. All the tension comes back to Adele's admiration for her fellow pop superstar. "I spent some time with her, but I was very critical of her," she said.
As Gaga looked on, she was visibly panicked. "I was like, 'This show is terrible. This is rubbish. I sing so bad I'm not funny. My outfit this week is terrible,'" Adele said. "I'm judging myself. And she's not like that. But she makes me really, really nervous."

Adele mentioned the name of another famous audience member in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , but she didn't meet the audience member during her performance. "I remember the first show I went to, Shania Twain came," she said. "Because she was wearing a hat, I walked right past her without recognizing her until someone later sent me a video."
Like Twain himself, the low-key appearance seemed to be a blessing in disguise. Adele later announced the news on her Instagram Story, sharing a screenshot of the video. “Thank God you wore a hat @shaniatwain,” she wrote, according to The Huffington Post. “If I saw it was you I would set myself on fire!! I adore you and I wouldn’t dare I trust you to come to my show.”
