Oprah Proves She's A Relatable Icon After Belting Out Adele Song Despite Not Knowing All The Lyrics

Oprah Proves She's A Relatable Icon After Belting Out Adele Song Despite Not Knowing All The Lyrics
@Oprah/Twitter

Basically everyone is an Adele fan at this point, and belting out her heartbreak anthems as if you can sing as well as her has become a tradition all over the world—even for an icon like Oprah Winfrey.

The veteran media queen posted an instantly relatable video clip of herself to Twitter last night just after her CBS special with Adele, One Night Only, went to air. In the clip, Oprah is seen jamming out with pop star Lizzo, belting out full-voiced to Adele's "Hello."


Who among us hasn't done the same thing—albeit without Lizzo by our side?

Except Oprah clearly didn't know most of the words and the instantly legendary video has Twitter in hysterics.

See the clip below.

One Night Only featured an exclusive conversation between Oprah and Adele, followed by a performance of Adele's hits and tracks from her upcoming album 30 in front of a star-studded audience at Los Angeles' gorgeous Griffith Observatory.

Adele, of course, has about a gazillion smashes by now, but perhaps none of them hit quite so hard as "Hello," a gloriously dramatic barnstormer of a ballad about a love lost. It's arguably the most relatable song she's ever done—so it's no wonder it captured Oprah's heart too.

But make no mistake, Oprah does not 90% of the words.

There's just no way around it—she stumbled and stammered through basically all of the lyrics besides the "Hello from the other side" refrain just like your mom would have if she'd been there.

Oprah being seated next to Lizzo—who clearly knew not only every lyric, but every inflection Adele delivered them with—made the scene all the more hilarious and endearing.

And, dare we say, inspiring?

Because Oprah was not only totally unfazed by her fumbling the lyrics, but still posted the video of her fumbling the lyrics to the entire internet. That is a boss move only Oprah could pull off.

Naturally, Twitter lost its collective mind over Oprah's perfect moment.
















Many were of course reminded of the legendary moment when Oprah also didn't know the words to Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" during a taping with the star.

And why should she‽‽

She's Oprah. She can sing whatever lyrics she wants.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
