A third fan wrote: "Adele is the Queen of the #Brits," with a fourth sharing: "Adele carrying the brits #BRITs."
Earlier in the night, Adele took home the Song of the Year award for her comeback single, Easy On Me.
"First of all I didn’t know that many songs were nominated for song of the year. I can’t believe that a piano ballad won up against that many bangers," she said as she accepted the accolade.
"But thank you so much. It is always a pleasure to be here. I always love coming home and the Brits is such a big part of my career since way back when I was a little foetus."
The singer broke down in tears back in January as she admitted her Vegas shows weren't ready.
"Listen, I'm so sorry but my show ain't ready," she said, "We've tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you but we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery
