Adele has thanked right-wing politician Sarah Palin for helping her to do what so many Brits find difficult -- becoming successful in America.

The singer appeared on 'Saturday Night Live' on the same episode as Palin and has attributed her for "making her career" -- even though she thought Palin was actually comedian and Palin impersonator Tina Fey.

In an interview with Attitude magazine (via Digital Spy), she also revealed that the Republican politician had asked to come meet her -- but when she did, the singer was sporting a gigantic Barack Obama badge.

She said, "Sarah Palin made my career by coming on that show. I saw the back of Sarah Palin, and I thought it was [SNL comedian] Tina Fey, and I f---ing love Tina Fey, and I was, 'Tina, Tina'. She didn't even acknowledge me, she was just completely oblivious.

"Then Sarah Palin asked to come and meet me, and my gays were in the room, saying, "If she comes in, I'm leaving." She cornered me and said hello. And I had a massive Obama badge on my tit."

As previously reported by AOL Music, Adele has announced details of her forthcoming second album, which is due to be released in late January.
