    Adele can do literally anything. She can belt out notes we never dreamed of. She can break record after record with her mega-hit songs. She can make us laugh hysterically, just by being herself. And just when we thought Adele couldn't impress us any more, we learned that the Grammy-winner can give up pizza.

    It's a feat most mere mortals can't even dream of, but Adele really did it. Refinery29 reports that the incredible singer gave up everyone's favorite food and she did it all for us. Well, kind of. She says she cut pizza from her diet for the good of her singing voice.

    "I can't eat pizza anymore guys, how bad is that?" British newspaper theDaily Star quoted Adele as saying. "Because it's got cooked tomatoes on it, which are bad for your throat and give you acid reflux. How bad is that, that I can't eat pizza, can you get over that?"

    No, we can't. We can't get over how dedicated Adele clearly is to her craft.

    And speaking of amazing things Adele has said no to recently, she revealed during her August 13 concert in Los Angeles that she turned down an offer to perform in the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show.

    "First of all, I'm not doing the Super Bowl," Adele said during the concert. "I mean, come on, that show is not about music. And I don't really—I can't dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I said no."
