With no disrespect to sober Adele (she's great!), drunk Adele is the most ultimate of spirit animals.

Or she was.

During a yet-to-air special, Adele At The BBC, the 25-year-old answered questions from fans during a segment called ‘Rumor Has It.'"

“This is true,” she said, when asked if she didn’t send her own tweets. “I’m not a drinker any more but when Twitter first came out I was drunk tweeting and nearly put my foot in it quite a few times. So my management decided they needed to go through two people and then it all has to be signed off by someone.”

As for anyone questioning the author of Adele's tweets:

“They’re all my tweets, no one writes my tweets, they just write them [out] for me. So yeah, that’s very, very true.”

Other truths: Adele's "Hello" debuted at No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, notched over 100m views on Vevo in the shortest time ever, five days, and also set a new record for most views on the site in its first 24 hours of release – 27.7m.
