Adele shed tears as she accepted the Grammy Award for Best Solo Pop Performance on Sunday (05.02.23).
The 34-year-old singer’s track ‘Easy On Me’ – which was about the aftermath of divorce – beat off competition from Bad Bunny’s ‘Moscow Mule’, Doja Cat’s ‘Woman’ Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’, ‘Abour Damn Time’ from Lizzo and Steve Lacy’s ‘Bad Habit’ to take the honour, and the British star gave an emotional shoutout to her and ex-husband Simon Konecki’s 10-year-old son Angelo as she reflected on writing the track.
“I wrote this first verse in the shower when I decided to change my son’s life, and he has been nothing but humble, gracious, and loving to me the entire time.”
And I adore A piano ballad winning an award because it is old fashioned and brave.”
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who Adele had finally met earlier in the evening, presented her with the award.
“Get up here, best friend,” he joked.”

During his opening monologue, host Trevor Noah walked around the tables and teased the ‘Someone Like You’ hitmaker about her crush on the ‘Ballers’ star, teasing her about her love for the ‘Ballers’ star.
“The person Adele has always wanted to meet but has never met is Dwayne Johnson,” he said.
“I don’t have Dwayne Johnson here tonight, but I do have a guy named ‘The Rock,'” he says.
The former WWE star then approached Adele, who smiled as she stood up to give him a hug.
“Adele meets The Rock, The Rock meets Adele!” Trevor exclaimed. Okay, you two get acquainted; we need to keep the show moving!”
As the camera panned away from their table, the 50-year-old actor was seen taking a seat next to the ‘Hello’ singer.
