11 celebs who have openly fangirled over Beyoncé

Adele

Adele’s Grammy night was an emotional roller coaster

She made Grammy history, made Beyoncé cry and then (kind of) announced her marriage.

Sunday evening’s Grammy Awards saw and go head-to-head for the Album Of The Year trophy, with Adele’s 25 emerging victorious over Queen Bey’s Lemonade – much to the Hello singer’s surprise. In the spirit of girl power, Adele’s acceptance speech paid full tribute to Bey, with the baffled star saying, “I can’t possibly accept this award.

“And I’m very humbled and I’m very grateful and gracious. But my artist of my life is Beyoncé. And this album to me, the Lemonade album, is just so monumental. Beyoncé, it’s so monumental. And so well thought out, and so beautiful and soul-baring and we all got to see another side to you that you don’t always let us see. And we appreciate that. And all us artists here adore you. You are our light.”

With a Beyhive full of fans transcending age, race, gender and status, it probably comes as no surprise that Adele isn’t the only celeb to have fully fangirled over Beyoncé. Here’s what Queen Bey’s other famous fans have to say about her…

When asked about her friend Beyoncé on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2016, then-First Lady Michelle said, “She’s a special person. She’s a sweetheart.
