Adeleis the latest star to join the “Femininomenon” ofChappell Roan.

During a rainy performance at Munich’s Messe München on Wednesday, Aug. 14, the soulful singer, 36, shared her thoughts on the rising pop star (whose real name is Kayleigh Amstutz), 26.

“I heard a song a little while ago at my birthday, and I loved it, and it was on one of my friend’s playlists. And then, I went down a rabbit hole on Monday. All day long,” Adele said, referring to Roan, in fan-posted footage toX (formerly Twitter).

“Anyway, that’s all I’ve done this week is discover Chappell Roan," Adele concluded.

Sincethe release of her debut albumThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princesslast September, Roan’s career has taken off. Recently, her single “Good Luck, Babe!” became her first top 10 hit, while her other singles “Hot to Go!,” “Pink Pony Club,” “Red Wine Supernova,” “Casual,” “Femininomenon” and “My Kink Is Karma” have all joined it on the Hot 100 chart. Meanwhile, her debut LP entered the top 10 on theBillboard200 nearly a year after its release.

“I’m reflecting on my life and the past couple of weeks have been cuckoo,” Roan, whose star has grown as she’s toured and played this year’s summer festival circuit, said in the clip. “But what’s so reassuring and so f—ing sick is — the pop girls that you and I have loved our whole lives or have been f—ing stans [of] the past two or three years — a lot of them have reached out and are so supportive and girl’s girls.”

“To have people I look up to reach out and offer like a friend or help, I don’t know, it’s just sick and it makes me believe in the world,” she added.

“I just want to be honest with the crowd. I just feel a little off today because I think that my career is just kind of going really fast and it’s really hard to keep up. I’m just being honest that I’m just having a hard time today,” Roan said in fan-captured footageshared to TikTok.

She continued, “I’m not trying to give you a lesser show, it’s just, there’s a lot. Thank you for understanding. This is all I’ve ever wanted. It’s just heavy sometimes.”

Inan interview with PEOPLE last September, Roan opened up about why her music resonates with fans so much.

“I think people like to party and I think my project feels like a party,” she said. “I think that people just want to be happy and reflect, sing, dance and dress up, and feel free.”

Roan added, “The project gives people an opportunity to express themselves without judgment and freedom to discover themselves in the same way that I feel like the project allows me to discover myself.”
