By her own joking admission, Adele took long enough in releasing 25, her third studio album. But now that it's finally dropped, Adele can sit back and have some fun.
In a video released Friday, Adele collaborated with BBC on an excessively silly prank. She donned a disguise, changed her voice, and introduced herself as "Jenny" to infiltrate a group of her impersonators. She gamely but covertly joked around with them about herself before watching the performers do their best impressions.
Then it was Jenny's turn. She faked stage fright, but the jig was up nearly as soon as she started in on "Make You Feel My Love," the Bob Dylan cover on her debut album. Watch below as the impersonators realize exactly what's happening and then get really excited about it. Julie Kliegman
