Lady Gaga has revealed that Adele's confidence in her own body is something to be admired.

The 'Born This Way' singer's body has been subject to media scrutiny over the past couple of months after she appeared to put on weight whilst on tour.

She soon after launched a 'Body Revolution' project, which aims to empower people and their own bodies.

Speaking to Stylist, Gaga said that her feelings on the subject intensified after hearing about her own weight becoming big news. She was asked about her 'Body Revolution' initiative, to which the singer replied:

"I've realised I don't have to do very much anymore but make music, because my fans do it all for me. They carry the message so far. Ever since they saw how much 'Born This Way' could affect people, they wanted to do more and have that sort of space of kindness and compassion. I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet – my mum called me and was like, 'Did you gain weight?' - everybody was telling me about it, and I didn't really care."

The 'Marry The Night' star continued: "But when I heard it was on the news, where they talk about wars, the economy crashing and the election – I just thought, 'This is f*cking ridiculous'. I mean, what kind of example is that to a young girl sitting at home? I thought, well I don't really care if they think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds. Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of woman. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people."
