Adele is 24 years old with an Oscar and nine Grammys.
She also had her first child, a baby boy, in October.
Adele told reporters after the Oscars she has some ideas for how she can go about earning the other two awards to gain her EGOT.
"Maybe I'll do an HBO special like Beyoncé did." she said. "And a Tony, I'm not so sure. Maybe someday I'll do a musical."
There are 14 people who have received all four awards ranging from Audrey Hepburn and Barbra Streisand to Liza Minnelli and Whoopi Goldberg.
Streisand completed her EGOT in a record seven years.
Adele still has a few years if she wants to be the youngest EGOT holder.
