Shania Twain and Lady Gaga had Adele rolling deep into her feelings after both superstars attended her Las Vegas residency show, the superstar musician has revealed.

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning recording artist reflected on notable audience members who've visited her Vegas concert series in the past, telling The Hollywood Reporter that she mistakenly (and hilariously) ignored Twain because she didn't recognize her at first.

"I remember one of my first shows I did, Shania Twain came. Because she had a hat on, I walked straight past her and didn’t recognize her until afterwards someone sent me a video. Then I saw her at the Grammys and we were talking about it. I’ve had lots of amazing people there," Adele told the outlet.

She continued, noting that there was one particular attendee who caused her to "shat" herself during "the whole show" earlier this year.

"[Lady] Gaga. And I’ve spent a bit of time with her, but I rate her so hard. I was like, 'The show’s terrible. It’s rubbish. I’m singing terribly. I’m not funny. My dress is rubbish this week,'" Adele said. "I was judging myself. And she’s not like that. But she made me really, really nervous."

Gaga and Adele have maintained a friendly relationship over the years, with the former jokingly tweeting in 2019 that she planned to name her upcoming album Adele.

All three women have current or future Vegas residencies, with Adele and Gaga's already in rotation, while Twain's second overall concert series in the city is set to debut in May.
