We know Adele to be many things: a powerhouse singer, a legendary songwriter, an underrated comedian... One thing she's not? The one.

We previously learned this when she addressed the viral and dangerous trend of fans throwing things onstage.

Holding a T-shirt gun at a show, Adele said, "I fucking dare you. Dare you to throw something at me, and I'll fucking kill you."

We also saw it when she had to get her own security together for "bothering" one of her fans.

Now, Adele's proved it once more after a heckler screamed an anti-Pride remark last night during her Vegas show.

The singer had been talking about performing over the weekend, which marked the first weekend of Pride Month, when the audience member shouted, "Pride sucks!"

"What was that? Did you just yell Pride sucks?" Adele immediately and fiercely replied.

"Did you come to my fucking show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you fucking stupid? Don’t be so fucking ridiculous. If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut up, alright?”

The rest of the audience cheered and applauded Adele — and people online praised her, too.

One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "That guy picked the wrong place and the wrong artist to shout that ... You go Adele!"
