At the “Hello” singer’s Friday show in Las Vegas — the latest concert in her 68-show residency,Weekends with Adele— she gave a heartfelt shoutout to Cyrus, 30, and her new song,“Used to Be Young.”
“I’ve always been a big Miley Cyrus fan and I’ve got such a soft spot for nostalgia and that song … whew, might make me tear up right now,” she said, holding back emotion.
Of the sentimental song, which, inCyrus’ words, is about “honoring who we’ve been, loving who we are & celebrating who we will become,” Adele said: “I absolutely love it. I think it’s amazing.”
“I think she’s such a legend and I love her,” she added of the “Midnight Sky” singer.
ThePlastic Heartssongstress responded to the sweetshoutouton X (Twitter) — and revealed that Adele’s love for “Used to Be Young” may be more than mere coincidence.
“[Adele], I thought of you often while writing this song - always hoped that you would love it,” Cyrus penned. “This means the world to me. I love you.”
“Mission accomplished,” she added.

Adele is not the only star who has been resonating with the song, whose chorus goes: “I know I used to be crazy, I know I used to be fun / You say I used to be wild, I say I used to be young.”
Diane Keatonshared a slideshow of photos from her youthset to the new track on Instagram along with the caption: “HERE’S TO MILEY. ❤️.”
The “Party in the U.S.A” singer not only noticed Keaton’s tribute but also responded: “I appreciate you deeply. This is so moving and exactly why I made this song.”
Like Adele, Cyrus said that Keaton, 77, was on her mind while she penned the tune.
“I said throughout the journey of writing it over the last 18 months, ‘all I want is Diane Keaton to dance to it’ and this is even more magical,” she wrote. “I love you. Thank you.”
