The powerful singers' emotional meeting in Las Vegas brought the couple full circle after Adele attended a Dion concert at the same theater a few years ago.

In January 2018, Adele visited Dion backstage after performing at the Coliseum during the “Power of Love” singer's second Vegas stop.

In a post shared on Instagram at the time, Dion wrote after meeting Adele at her show: “Couldn't be at all of my shows but was thrilled Adele came to one of them…I love her so much!!”

Superfan Adele also wrote about the experience on Instagram: “Queen Celine! What a show, an absolute highlight of my life, thank you for the attention you gave your audience and the insane humor. Happy New Year, Ms. x.”

The “Hello” singer posted a photo alongside her message of herself appropriately wearing a Dion T-shirt while attending the concert.

The British singer has long been a big fan of Dion and revealed this in a “73 Questions” video fashion in 2021 that her “proudest possession” is a framed piece of Dion's bubble gum.

““It’s pretty amazing,” the singer told the outlet in the clip. “James Corden – who's a friend of mine but also does Carpool Karaoke, which I did – did one with her.” He knew how much of a fan I was of hers and he let her put her gum on a piece Spitting paper she framed for me.

Adele is expected to end her two-year stay in Las Vegas in November.

During her September concert in Munich, the 16-time Grammy winner shared that she plans to step away from music for a “long time” after her residency ends.

In a video posted to TikTok, Adele told fans on stage: “I have 10 shows to go, but after that I won't see you for an incredibly long time and I will carry you in my heart.”
