Adele, the vocal powerhouse, recently shed light on a viral meme capturing her seemingly unamused expression during a 2022 NBA All-Stars game.
Addressing the moment during her Weekends with Adele residency in Las Vegas, the Grammy-winning artist offered context to the widely circulated image.
The British singer revealed her discomfort with fame and the circumstances surrounding the now-infamous snapshot.
In a fan-recorded TikTok video, Adele recounted her experience at the basketball game where she found herself inadvertently thrust into the spotlight.
Infamous Twitter meme
“I really don’t like being famous,” Adele said.
“So obviously, I know I’m sitting courtside at a basketball game, whatever. But Rich [Paul] was working the room and, you know, talking to other players and people. I was fine,” she said.
“I didn’t mind. I was just there on my own, looking for Michael Jordan, to be honest with you,” Adele told the audience.
She continued: “So, the people with the camera came over and asked me twice. They were like, ‘Do you mind if we film you? Can we put you on the screen?’
I said, ‘Please don’t. I just canceled [my] Las Vegas [residency]. I really don’t wanna be [on camera]. They came back and they filmed me.”
Adele also dispelled speculations about her appearance that evening, attributing her altered demeanor to a sense of annoyance rather than any cosmetic enhancements.
“I have naturally big lips…I don’t need filler,” she said. “The reason I looked like a different person was because I was sulking.”
Throughout her residency performances, Adele has captivated audiences with her trademark wit and authenticity.
