15. She Went To The Same School As Other British Stars
In 2006, Adele graduated from the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, London, England. While attending, she was classmates with famous British pop stars Jessie J, Leona Lewis, and Amy Winehouse. In an interview with i-D in 2005, she reveals some of her thoughts on being associated with the controversial singer and artist. “Contrary to reports, me and Amy didn’t really know each other,” she told the publication. “We weren’t friends or anything like that. I went to Brit School and she went for a little while, but I adored her.” What is even more interesting – and funnier – is the 27-year-old songstress credits Winehouse for inspiring her to play the guitar and even more. “If it wasn’t for Amy and Frank, 100 percent I wouldn’t have picked up a guitar, I wouldn’t have written “Daydreamer” or “Hometown” and I wrote “Someone Like You” on the guitar, too.”
14. She Credits Sarah Palin For Her US Success
In an interview with UK magazine, Attitude, Adele explains that former vice-presidential hopeful, Sarah Palin, “made her career.” “Sarah Palin made my career by coming on that show,” she told the UK publication. “She asked to come and meet me, and my guys were in the room, saying, ‘If she comes in, I’m leaving.’ She cornered me and said hello. And I had a massive Obama badge on my t*t.” In 2008, the “Someone Like You” singer appeared on Saturday Night Live where Tina Fey was applauded for her hilarious performance on the show, portraying Palin. Just within 24 hours, Adele’s album made it to the top in iTune’s chart as her single “Chasing Pavements” went from No. 45 to No. 11.
