Adele stayed fully true to her phrase on the Tremendous Bowl final night time, exhibiting she actually was there for one factor, and one factor solely: Rihanna.
Adele made her plans completely clear throughout a latest present at her Las Vegas residency. Whereas chatting with a fan concerning the upcoming large recreation, Adele quipped, “I’m going only for Rihanna. I don’t give a flying fuck who’s enjoying.” (To cap all of it off, Adele then set free that trademark cackle of hers.)
Certain sufficient, Adele was within the stands Sunday night time because the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in a recreation that was high-scoring and thrilling till a controversial penalty within the closing couple of minutes turned a probably epic climax right into a uninteresting denouement. However that’s not why you’re right here, and that’s definitely not why Adele was there.
As regular, the tv broadcast hopped round to the assorted celebrities within the crowd, and Adele was proven in all her glory — pursed lips, pants swimsuit, drink in-hand, ginormous sun shades, trying the dictionary definition of, because the Brits would say, “can’t be arsed.” That’s, in fact, till proper earlier than Rihanna took the stage, when one sharp-eyed digital camera individual captured an immediately meme-able second of Adele preparing for the massive present.
Now, what precisely Adele was saying is a bit up for debate. At first look, it certain as hell seems to be like she’s telling the 2 guys speaking over her to close the hell up (Who can relate?). She even appeared to punctuate her shush with a fully devastating “zip it” gesture.
Nevertheless, some very assured, albeit non-professional on-line lip-readers are claiming Adele was doing a little bit of pre-show punditry about Rihanna’s preparations for her first reside efficiency in over 4 years. One user offered this guess at what she was saying: “She’ll have some weed and be like *mmmmmh*. She’ll be fab, she’ll be fab.” (If that’s, actually the case, the being pregnant reveal that accompanied Rihanna’s Tremendous Bowl efficiency most likely complicates Adele’s weed concept, however the fab evaluation nonetheless stands.)
In fact, whichever Adele you need to see in that second is within the eye of the beholder, and each choices are iconic in their very own manner.
