Adele and Celine Dion shared a tearful exchange at the British singer's show.
Dion, 56, was one of many people in attendance at the “Hello” singer's recent concert in Las Vegas.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Adele can be seen breaking down in tears after seeing the Canadian singer in the crowd.
The Grammy-winner – dressed in a sleek black dress – then jumped over a barrier and proceeded to greet Dion, giving her a big hug.
Dion then kissed Adele's hand before letting her go and taking her seat again, dabbing her teary eyes with a tissue.
“Leave it to Miss Celine Dion,” Adele said, prompting the music legend to stand to thunderous cheers from fans in the audience.
Speaking to the BBC, Nasser, a concert-goer who captured the moment on his phone, said: “It really felt like he was proudly handing the keys to Adele. And when Adele gave him that hug, everyone felt their feelings. .”
The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace, where Adele currently hosts her concert residency, was originally built for Dion's 2003 debut residency.
Their mutual admiration for each other is well documented, with Adele previously showing off her most prized possession: a used piece of Dion's chewing gum that she framed.
Last month, Adele announced that she would be taking an extended break from music after finishing her Las Vegas residency in November.

The 36-year-old explained that he's been touring and performing non-stop for nearly three years and is ready to get back to “living my life.”
“I've spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now,” the singer said through tears. “I want to live the life I'm building and I'll miss you terribly.”
The Grammy-winner insisted that this period was the “longest” she's ever had and that she'll likely never commit to such a schedule again.
Meanwhile, Dion left fans teary-eyed with her “stunning” appearance at the Paris Olympics earlier this year.
It was his first performance since 2022, when he was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare, incurable disorder that causes rigidity in the torso and limbs, as well as severe muscle spasms.
She was subsequently forced to cancel her world tour as she focused on learning to live with the condition.
SPS is an autoimmune and neurological disorder that causes rigidity in the trunk and limbs. Symptoms include stiffness of the torso and limbs, along with muscle spasms.
Dion previously said that when she's at her worst, it feels like someone is squeezing her larynx and pharynx when she tries to sing.
