25 Adele Facts We Bet You Don't Know

Adele appeared on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest in 2008, and the episode was the highest-rated in 14 years thanks to a cameo from then-vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin and a hilarious performance from Tina Fey, who portrayed her. Within 24 hours of Adele's debut, her album took the top spot on the iTunes chart, and the single "Chasing Pavements" went from No. 45 to No. 11 on the charts.

In an interview a few years later, Adele said, "Sarah Palin made my career by coming on that show," and told a funny story about meeting her backstage: "[She] asked to come and meet me, and my gays were in the room, saying, 'If she comes in, I'm leaving.' She cornered me and said hello. And I had a massive Obama badge on my t*t."
