Adele was spotted enthusiastically singing along to Dua Lipa's hit Don't Start Now at the British star's Radical Optimism tour stop in Los Angeles. Fans were quick to flood social media with clips and reactions. Some are celebrating the moment as a crossover between two of the UK's most beloved artists.

One such user commented:

"Adele singing Dua Lipa is such a full circle moment one powerhouse hyping another. British pop stays winning when it’s women supporting women instead of competing. 🇬🇧✨"

Adele has spent much of the past year out of the spotlight. She appeared to be enjoying her time at Dua Lipa's show as she cheered and danced from the VIP section of the Kia Forum. The singer was attending one of Dua's four sold-out LA shows, which is part of her ongoing Radical Optimism World Tour.
