It's been a decade since the legendary 2014 moment at the Oscars where John Travolta butchered Idina Menzel's name.

It’s been a decade since the legendary 2014 moment at the Oscars where John Travolta butchered Idina Menzel’s name before she performed her Frozen hit “Let It Go,” referring to the stage and screen star as “ Adele Dazeem.” To celebrate, Menzel took to Instagram to poke fun at the mix-up, and wish her girl Adele the happiest of birthdays. “I hope you have the best, best day,” Menzel added, before hilariously performing a heartfelt rendition of the “Happy Birthday song and signing off. Opening with a shot of Idina’s face and the words, “My name is Idina… but they call me,” the clip then pivots to quick-cuts of her role as Elphaba in Wicked, Maureen in Rent, Shelby Corcoran (“Rachel’s Mom” in Glee), Nancy in Enchanted, Elsa in Frozen, Vivian in the Camila Cabello Cinderella reboot and Dinah from Adam Sandler’s Uncut Gems.
