Hello, Adele. You're beautiful and lovely and inspire everyone with your awesomeness.

1. When she admitted that sometimes, love is just "bad timing."

"I had to come to terms with the fact that I'd met the love of my life but it was just bad timing." she told Fair Lady Magazine in 2011 of her inspiration behind "Someone Like You."

2. When she reminded us that being "brave and fearless" is the key to winning in life.

"Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason," she told Vogue in 2012. Just believe in yourself and have faith... even if things don't go as planned at least you can say you tried.

3. That time she didn't want snot ruining her acceptance speech.

And this is why we love her.

4. When she talked about her "soul mate" supporting her music.

"We're like in a solid relationship and he's my soul mate and my best mate, and he sees it as my art and my outlet and something that I did before him," she recently told Ryan Seacrest. ["Hello"] is not about a past boyfriend or anything like that, but if it was, I think he'd be alright with it anyway because we're in a strong healthy place. It wouldn't be an issue."

5. When she kicked off her comeback by releasing "Hello" and a heartfelt note on Twitter about what "25" means to her.

"My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I'm making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Makeup up for everything I ever did and never did..."

6. That time she was asked if she would ever play a Bond girl and she had the most brilliant response... straight up laughter.

7. When she assured us that it's possible to get over an ex.

"My love is deep and true with my man (Simon Konecki), and that puts me in a position where I can finally reach out a hand to the ex. Let him know I’m over it." You go, girl!

8. At the same time, she knows letting go of drama is important.

"Oh yeah, I used to f*cking love the drama of all of it, but now I'm a mum, only have so much head space," she said. "I've got to clear a lot of stuff the f*ck out, which is really therapeutic, 'cause I can really hold a grudge. Life is so much easier when you don't hoard your past."

9. But when a guy's a "dickhead" she's not afraid to call him out.

10. That time she got kicked off of Twitter for drunk-tweeting too much.

Though whoever wouldn't want to read her drunk tweets is absolutely insane.

11. When she reminded us she's making music for EARS, not EYES.... but couldn't help but mention she loves staring at Katy Perry and Lady Gaga's "boobs and bum."

"I love seeing Lady Gaga’s boobs and bum," she said. "I love seeing Katy Perry’s boobs and bum. Love it. But that’s not what my music is about. I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears."

12. And when she fan-girled hard over Nicki Minaj.

13. When Adele hilariously mistook an interviewer's question to be about masturbation.

14. When she reminded us that she doesn't put up with negative/toxic people.

"I have insecurities of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me," she said. Preach!

15. Instead of pulling the "I'm a huge, famous celebrity and the real question is how do you NOT know me" card, she gave her own adorable version of people not recognizing her.

16. When she admitted she gets stage fright.

"I get so nervous on stage I can’t help but talk," she said. "I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it’s pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I’m going to be able to deliver."

17. When she joked about her hiatus, we were a little scared she was serious about it.

18. When she revealed her perfect life motto.

19. When she was cut off during her acceptance speech and whipped out the middle finger on live TV.

20. But when she won the following year, she had the ultimate sassy response.

21. When she had her priorities straight.

22. When she came out with "Hello" and reminded us that it's OK to make mistakes.

23. When she fully owned up to her love for dropping F-bombs.

24. And when someone's rude to her for no apparent reason, it's NOT OK.

25. And finally, she reminded us of the true reason we love her... 'cause she's fucking awesome.

"I'm really happy to be me, and I'd like to think people like me more because I'm happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything," she said.

BOW DOWN TO QUEEN ADELE.
