Lizzo gushed about her friendship with Adele to Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show Andy Cohen Live on Monday.
“We’re both Tauruses, and when we’re together the decibels of how loud we get with our laughter is incredible,” said Lizzo. “She’s fucked with me for years. I met her at a Grammy party. I think it was Mark Ronson’s Grammy party and she was like, ‘Oh my God!’ and I was like, ‘This is fucking Adele!'”

Lizzo shared that she and Adele each have small circles of friends. ”We really are super similar and we don’t really fuck with too many people but we fuck with each other,” she continued. Adele told Rolling Stone in a November 2021 interview she was initially reluctant to make high profile friends.
“I had avoided talking to anyone that was ever famous in any capacity,” she said. She credited her reservations to her upbringing. “I’m very British like that,” she added.
Lizzo also said she received support from her friend prior to her appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” She pulled double duty as the host and musical guest on the April 16 episode of the show. “At ‘SNL,’ she texted me. I hadn’t heard from her in a minute, ’cause you know, life,” she said. “But I was looking at her photo ’cause it’s right outside the dressing room and she texted me and was like, ‘I hope you kill it this weekend babes.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God! I’m looking at you!'”
Adele previously hosted “Saturday Night Live” on October 24, 2020. Many of the hosts’ and musical guests’ pictures are on display behind the scenes of the show’s sets.
“She’s so supportive and she really believes in me,” Lizzo said.
“I like her. She a ghetto bitch like me,” she added.
