'She's one of the greatest songwriters of our generation': Adele gushes over Taylor Swift but admits she hasn't had the chance to listen to Midnights yet
Adele has gushed over Taylor Swift and called her 'one of the greatest songwriters of our generation' as she showed her support for the singer's 10th studio album.
The Hello hitmaker, 34, praised Taylor, 32, for her songwriting talents as she spoke at Happy Hour With Adele, a fan event celebrating the release of her music video for I Drink Wine.
When asked at the event if she had listened to Taylor's new album Midnights, Adele admitted that she hadn't because she had been busy in 12-hour rehearsals each day.
But she went on to laud the American singer as 'one of the greatest songwriters of our generation' as she showed her support for Taylor's record-breaking songs.
Admitting she hadn't listened to Midnight yet, Adele said: 'I haven't, but the only reason is 'cause I've been in rehearsals for, like, 12 hours a f**king day, I'm sick and tired of anything musical.
