When “Annie from London” popped up with a question via video link, the hit star was amazed by the woman’s perfect pronunciation of her name, who asked her: “Adele, on your journey towards self-love while writing at 30, your perspective how you saw yourself when you wrote 25 completely changed, eh?”.
Adele immediately asked her: “Where are you from? Enfield or something? You said my name perfectly!”
Apparently we’ve all mispronounced Adele’s name for years. https://t.co/lGhZ4yjUwF pic.twitter.com/ynNuSLCBpF

The Tottenham star therefore took the opportunity to teach everyone a lesson on how to pronounce his name correctly, repeating a number of times to presenter Benito Skinner how to say “uh-DALE” and “huh-dale” instead of “Ah- says.
The “tutorial” video immediately went viral, and there were many comments from fans, ranging from those who began to discuss the nuances of the English accent to those who, with a touch of irony, wondered, “How could we make a complete mistake.” make “syllables throughout the last decade?”.
Aside from the linguistic mishap, the pop star spoke mostly about her plans for the future and about her upcoming visit to Los Angeles “to cement her EGOT status”.
An EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award) is considered one of the most coveted statuses an artist can achieve, and only 17 have received all four awards.
Adele, who recently became EGO after adding an Emmy to her collection, would only need one Tony to claim all four. However, the Hello star admitted she was too lazy to commit to Broadway and get it.
“Actually, I prefer the sound of an EGO to an EGOT. EGO is fun…” joked the singer, who also recently said she wants to take a break from music after the residency to go back to studying English and a PhD in literature, his all-time passion.
