Alongside a photo of her wearing a Céline t-shirt, she added: ‘What a show, an absolute highlight of my life, thank you so much for the attention to your crowd and insane humour. Happy new year lady x.’
Céline reciprocated the love at the time, sharing a photo to social media of her posing alongside Adele, who was wearing the singer’s merchandise.
She wrote: ‘Wasn’t able to do all my shows, but was thrilled that Adele came to one of them…. I love her so much!! – Céline xx’.
Adele returned to The Colosseum this weekend to continue her residency after taking a break to perform a series of shows in Munich in a purpose-built outdoor arena.
Weekends With Adele launched at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in November 2022 and is due to conclude in November this year.
Her run of sell-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people, has been a success but has also taken its toll.
In July, she announced she will take a ‘big break’ from music after her run of upcoming shows.

Meanwhile, Céline made a triumphant return to live singing in the summer to close the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics amid her battle with stiff person syndrome (SPS).
She has spoken candidly about SPS, revealing her diagnosis in December 2022 after cancelling her Las Vegas residency in 2021 due to health concerns.
The condition is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that most commonly causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, according to the Johns Hopkins Medicine website.
In March 2003, Céline launched her first residency at The Colosseum, which played for 717 shows through to December 2007.
She returned to the venue for her second stint in March 2011 and played 424 shows before wrapping it up in June 2019.
