Adele’s long-held dream to meet Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson came true in spectacular and surprising fashion Sunday at the Los Angeles Grammy Awards.
The surprise meeting took place on live TV during the Grammys telecast with host Trevor Noah making the introduction during his opening host remarks.
Noah put the spotlight on Adele, nominated seven times at the 2023 awards, sitting stageside next to her boyfriend Rich Paul at the Crypto.com Arena.
“This is one of the strangest thing I’ve found out. The person that Adele has wanted to meet, but never has is Dwayne Johnson,” said Noah, as Adele shook her head in agreement. “You’ve never met him.”

“And I found out that he’s a huge fan of yours,” Noah added. “I don’t have someone named Dwayne Johnson here, but I do have someone called The Rock.”
With that, the beaming 6’4″ superstar The Rock appeared and strode over to the flabbergasted Adele.
“Adele, meet The Rock. The Rock meet Adele,” said Noah. “First time ever.”
The two hugged with Adele laughing in shock and excitement over the meeting.
“You two get acquainted. We have to keep the show moving,” said Noah, moving on to the awards.
Later in the show, Johnson presented Adele with the best pop solo performance Grammy, announcing the winner as his “friend.”
The meeting garnered love and laughs on social media, with one Twitter user imagining Paul’s reaction to the chemistry.
“Adele and The Rock meeting is so randomly cute,” one Twitter user said.
Another Twitter user wrote, “Adele out here living my dream @TheRock.”
