With her first Emmy win, Adele is adding to a slew of other major award wins, including 15 Grammys and an Oscar for Best Original Song for her hit James Bond theme “Skyfall”.
All that’s left now is for the singer to win a Tony Award in order to reach the coveted EGOT club.
The singer joked about her newfound “EGO” status in a tongue-in-cheek tweet referencing the achievement.
“Bloody hell I’m pleased as punch!” she wrote.

On Twitter, fans celebrated Adele’s latest award win.
