There's a lot to uncover about Adele. The Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter has inspired millions of people over the years. Her music can be considered heavy and emotional which isn't a problem at all. Deeper, more emotional songs can be more relatable than surface-level pop songs.
She has been compared to Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and other pop singers in her realm plenty of times but that doesn't make a difference whatsoever. She is and always be her own individual person.
10 She's Not A Huge Fan Of The Gym But She Still Goes
The gym to some people is a place to escape and zone out. For others, going to the gym is more of a chore. Adele admitted, "I’m not, like, skipping to the f***ing gym. I don’t enjoy it. I do like doing weights. I don’t like looking in the mirror. Blood vessels burst on my face really easily, so I’m so conscious when I’m lifting weights not to let them burst in my face." Weight lifting is a great form of exercise but burst facial blood vessels sound like a bummer.
9 When She Was 30 Years Old, It Was A Difficult Year
On her 31st birthday, Adele posted a picture to her Instagram with the caption: "30 tried me so hard but I’m owning it and trying my hardest to lean into it all. No matter how long we’re here for life is constant and complicated at times. I’ve changed drastically in the last couple of years and I’m still changing and that’s OK." She changed a lot over that year, especially in terms of her physical body! Her fans have loved and accepted her through every single change.
8 She Appreciates Naysayers
Celebs deal with a lot of people who say "yes" to them all the time. The people who work for celebs or hang out as part of a celeb's entourage usually tend to be yes-men and yes-women.
Adele said, “I deal with them (naysayers) all the time. My manager, best friend, and partner, etc, are all like that. It is better than people who keep saying yes to you. It is better to have them." It is better to have honest people in your life rather than people who want to always be on your "good side".
7 Adele Loves Her Son But Misses Her Freedom
Adele is the mother of one and she recently shared how she feels about that so far. She said, “I think it’s the bravest thing not to have a child; all my friends and I felt pressurized into having kids because that’s what adults do. I love my son more than anything, but on a daily basis, if I have a minute or two, I wish I could do whatever the f*** I wanted, whenever I want. Every single day I feel like that.” (Vanity Fair.) Plenty of new moms can probably relate to Adele when it comes to how she feels about motherhood and the loss of full-fledged freedom.

Smoking is known to cause a long list of health issues and physical ailments.
