The “Hello” singer also cleared the air about why it looked like she had lip filler in the famous clip.
Adele is providing some “context” behind her viral courtside meme that the world won’t soon forget.
In February 2022, the “Hello” singer was caught on camera looking less than thrilled at the NBA All-Star game. While sitting on the sidelines, Adele held a solemn facial expression, kicking off a slew of reactions on social media.
While speaking to the crowd at her “Weekends With Adele” Las Vegas residency on Saturday, the 16-time Grammy winner finally revealed why she looked so serious.
“Do you remember that viral meme of me looking like I don’t give a flying fuck?” Adele asked the audience, as seen in a TikTok video. “I know it sounds crazy, but I really don’t like being famous, right? So, obviously, I know I’m sitting court side at a basketball game, you’re asking for it.”
The London singer went on to explain that she had been trying to search for Michael Jordan as her boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul, was mingling with players when the camera crew panned to her. She said the crew asked her if she wanted to be filmed, which she declined.
