"I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud."
~ Adele
English singer and songwriter, Adele is known for being one of the world's most famous and best-selling music artists.
Adele is a big woman -- no doubt about it whatsoever but her height is a bit puzzling at times -- sometimes she looks like a big tall woman, and at other times she looks like a big short woman.
Though fortunately, she mentioned her height at the Oscars red carpet (2013) as "Usually I'm 5'9" but with these [heels] on I'm a 6'1."
But from what we have seen of her in all her glory, Adele is tall -- but not quite 5-feet-9 inches tall.
The real height of Adele is
5'8" or 173 cm
