Adele has turned the tables on her fans, revealing that many have been saying her name improperly for years.
The Grammy-Award-winning singer hosted a happy hour to give a glimpse of her new music video for “I Drink Wine.”
During Q&A session posted online last week, the 34-year-old artist praised a fan for properly calling out her name.
One video question for the pop icon was, “Hi, Adele. I’m Annie from London,” in which the fan asked the artist about her songwriting, before signing off the video with “Cheers babe, love you.”
