Lady Gaga reckons Adele has set the bar high in terms of confidence with her body and how she has handled it all.

Gaga was recently shocked by the backlash she received by her recent weight gain.

“I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet, my mum called me and was like, ‘Did you gain weight?’ – everybody was telling me about it, and I didn’t really care,” GaGa told Stylish.

“But when I heard it was on the news, where they talk about wars, the economy crashing and the election – I just thought, ‘This is f**king ridiculous’. I mean, what kind of example is that to a young girl sitting at home?”

“I thought, well I don’t really care if they think I’m fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds.” Gaga said.

“She has set the bar very high for a lot of women. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people.” Gaga said of Adele
