Undoubtedly, Adele is one of the most iconic stars of her time. The singer has been in the entertainment industry for over 15 years and has received numerous accolades for her talents. However, while the English star has bagged an Oscar, many Grammys, and an Emmy, one award has eluded her — a Tony. A Tony acquisition will give Adele the EGOT status — Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Many believe she will attain the feat sooner or later, but Adele says she can’t achieve the EGOT status. She made this known while appearing as the last Carpool Karaoke guest.
Adele EGOT Status May Not Happen
On Monday, Adele had an emotional chat with James Corden in their surprise Carpool Karaoke segment. During the discussion, the icon made a statement that left many fans heartbroken. Corden mentioned that the Adele EGOT status was closer than ever, as she had already secured “EGO.” The singer then jokingly replied, noting that she always had an ego. Next, Adele explained why she couldn’t achieve EGOT status. The songstress shared that to win a Tony, she had to write a musical, which she never saw happening. In her words:
“I would never write a musical or anything like that because I f***ing hate musicals. I f***ing hate musicals. I don’t think I’ve ever said how much I f***ing hate musicals.”
Adele also relayed that while she disliked the art form, she respected it. However, she had no desire to hear everything in songs all the time. Overall, the Grammy winner said she believed EGO suited her better.
Inside Adele’s Achievements
Adele getting the EGOT status may seem unlikely, but the singer is incredible nonetheless. In 2013, Adele clinched her first Oscar award for Best Original Song. Nine years later, the entertainment icon won her first Emmy award for Outstanding Variety Special for CBS special Adele: One Night Only. Besides the Oscar and Emmy, the chart-topping singer has 16 Grammys.
Although Adele, who has many successful albums, has said making a musical and bagging a Tony award is far-fetched, fans still hope she will change her mind. Being only 34 years old, Adele still has many years ahead in the music industry.
