The 'Adele Dazeem' meme was born during the 86th Academy Awards in 2014 when actor John Travolta took the stage to introduce singer Idina Menzel for her performance of 'Let It Go' from Frozen. Travolta inexplicably butchered her name, calling her the 'wickedly talented, one and only, Adele Dazeem.' The internet reacted immediately, birthing a viral sensation that mocked the phonetic confusion. Within hours, a Twitter account for 'Adele Dazeem' was created, and name generators appeared online to 'Travoltify' users' names. The meme remains a classic example of celebrity award show blunders, often used to highlight moments of extreme mispronunciation or awkward public speaking.
