Los Angeles - Adele has called Beyoncé "the most inspiring person I've ever had the pleasure of worshipping".
The Hello singer shared a photograph of her hugging a poster of Beyoncé - who released her visual album Lemonade late last month - and added a gushing caption.
She wrote: "I'm not late on this I've just been speechless. Beyoncé is the most inspiring person I've ever had the pleasure of worshipping. Her talent, beauty, grace and work ethic are all in a league of their own. I appreciate you so much! Thank god for Beyoncé X (sic)."
Adele has previously spoken of her admiration for Beyoncé and even quipped that the star is the most important person in her life, apart from her son Angelo.
Referring to reports that she had turned down a duet with Beyoncé, she said: "Whoever started that rumour must have been having a laugh, because anyone who knows me knows that my main priority in life outside of my child is Beyoncé."
