The Miss Piggy character is famous for her diva antics, so it's no surprise that she would want to emulate award-winning songstress Adele.

And she did exactly that in a new promo released on Sunday during the American Music Awards, in which she recreated the video for the 27-year-old's smash hit Hello.

Miss Piggy along with ex Kermit the Frog appeared in their own sepia-toned video, with the famous pig even dressing like the star.  

Her inspiration: Miss Piggy channeled Adele as she recreated the video for the star's smash hit single Hello in a musical promo for The Muppets, which aired on Sunday during the American Music Awards

The short clip begins with Miss Piggy dramatically gazing at the camera, while beginning to lip sync to Adele's emotional track.

She has blonde hair, styled just like the performer in the video, and sports a thick overcoat while standing in a scenic wood.

Of course, The Muppets is a quirky comedy series, so unlike Adele's emotional piece, Miss Piggy's video was full of comedic relief.

Melancholy: Miss Piggy stared glumly at the screen in the beginning of the sepia-toned video

Belting it out: The famous pig's blonde tresses - styled just like Adele's - blew dramatically in the wind as she hit the chorus of the emotional song in the promo

Twins: The Jim Henson-created character nailed Adele's look, also sporting a furry overcoat

As she begins to belt out 'hello, from the other side,' a pile of leaves catches in a gust of wind and blows right into the puppet's mouth. 

Later, as they recreate a lover's quarrel, as seen in the video, Miss Piggy gets a bit more physical, throwing a kettle and a keyboard at the poor frog as he cowers by the refrigerator while trying to run away.

Miss Piggy wears a similar furry jacket to mimic Adele's look from the video, and can also be seen belting out the hit in the woods as the wind blows around her.

In good company: Kermit also dressed the part, starring in the video as the love interest, played in Adele's original hit video by Tristan Wilds 

Comic relief: Though the promo recreated the Hello video, it was for the comedy The Muppets, so a few quirky, comedic moments were added 

Kermit could be seen wearing a cable knit sweater in the video, as he tried to replicate the look of Adele's love interest from Hello, who was played by Tristan Wilds.

The clip ends with a chipper Kermit picking up the phone in his office at Up Late with Miss Piggy - the show he works at on ABC's The Muppets - and saying: 'Hello!'  

And it's no wonder this was ABC's choice for the AMAs promo, as Adele's melancholy video for her latest powerhouse single was an immediate hit, setting a new record for Vevo.

Poor Kermit: At one point Kermit was pelted with a kettle and a keyboard as the characters recreated an argument from the video

Nailed it! Kermit was also dressed to look like a star from the Hello music video (Tristan), sporting a striped jacket and hooded sweatshirt similar to the one he wore 

That'll get their attention! The recreation was a promotion for ABC's comedy The Muppets, which airs Tuesdays at 8pm

It racked up 27.7 million views - it now has over 400 million - in its first 24 hours, knocking Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood out of the top spot. It had premiered with 20.1 million views in its first 24 hours in May.

Meanwhile, ABC's comedy The Muppets airs new episodes Tuesdays at 8pm.
