Adele has credited her success to former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. The "Hello" singer said during a recent interview for BBC One that if Palin had not been a guest during her first appearance on "Saturday Night Live," she might not have been as successful as she is now.

Adele's mainstream breakthrough came after the relatively unknown singer was scheduled to sing on "Saturday Night Live" in October 2008, according to Fox News. Palin was originally supposed to appear on the comedy show the week after Adele was set to perform, but due to a scheduling conflict, she had to reschedule.

"Something came up in the campaign," Adele said. "She came and did SNL the week I was doing it."

"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, according to Mashable. "The album shot to number one on iTunes and I was nominated for a Grammy and then I won one! It was a joke! It was a joke. All thanks to Sarah Palin!"

After hearing Adele's comments, Palin sent the singer a signed copy of her new book "Sweet Freedom: A Devotional" and wrote her a sweet note.

"Rumor Has It you recently threw me some credit for your amazing success - very kind coming from Someone Like You! Congrats on motherhood. Keep Setting Fire to the Rain. Love, your fan... Sarah Palin," the former governor wrote on her Facebook account.

Adele released her newest album "25" last Friday. The album has already sold an incredibly 3 million copies and broke the record for most albums sold in a single week, as HNGN previously reported.
