Jennifer Lawrence has just confirmed what we allknew to be true — that Adele is indeed an “international treasure.” The Academy Award winnerpenned a moving, albeit funny essay about her friend for TIME's 100 Most Influential People issue, recalling how they first met and how the songbird's music has affected her.
“Adele and I metat the Oscars in 2013,” Jennifer began. “I remember sneaking backstage while she performed “Skyfall,” trying to squeeze a ball gown past a pile of ropes and cables just to get a little closer. See her from another angle as if to peek behind the Great Oz’s curtain."

She added, "I had been a fan of hers since“Chasing Pavements” (saying “fan” about Adele always sounds like anunderstatement, doesn’t it?).”
PROOF THAT JLAW ALWAYS HAS A REALLY GOOD TIME
The Hunger Games actress revealed that Adele's album 21 impacted her own life. “Suddenly there were words tothat before-indescribable pain, frustration, sadness, then revolution that allcomes from a breakup,” she wrote. “I felt understood, I felt stronger, andabove all, I hadn’t sung in front of a mirror with a hairbrush since Destiny’sChild.”
In the essay, Jennifer noted thatthe Hello singer has a “once-in-a-lifetime”voice and “the most successful career in the world.” Despite her talent,intelligence and “500-year-old wisdom,” Jennifer admitted, “What you don’t see is what a wonderful mother she is. What awonderful partner and friend she is. That she makes her son’s Halloweencostumes.”
