Multi-award winning singersongwriter Adele has much to credit for her success: the powerhouse voice, the emotive lyrics and ... Sarah Palin?br During an interview on her BBC special, Adele revealed that the former Governor of Alaska is part of how she got to where she is today.br As it turns out, Palin was meant to appear on Saturday Night Live the week after Adele was slated to be the show's musical guest - but fate turned the tables.br "It was one of the most watched SNLs ever and then it was two weeks before the Grammy ballot, which is when people decide what songs they want to maybe nominate, so, like, literally the stars aligned for me," she explained.
