Adele Stands Up Against Anti-Pride Comment at Concert
Adele made headlines over the weekend for addressing an audience member at her Las Vegas show who appeared to make an anti-Pride comment. The incident occurred on the first day of Pride Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ community.
Videos of the Grammy-winning singer quickly circulated on social media, with some praising her for standing up against what seemed to be a derogatory remark. However, others pointed out that Adele may have misheard the comment before responding.
In the videos, Adele can be heard saying, “Did you come to my f—ing show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f—ing stupid? Don’t be so f—ing ridiculous. If you got nothing nice to say, shut up, all right?”
This is not the first time Adele has addressed audience behavior during her performances. In the past, she has called out fans for throwing objects on stage and even halted a show to scold venue security for bothering a fan.
“Weekends With Adele,” the singer’s first concert residency, has been ongoing since November 2022 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Despite a few setbacks due to health issues and Covid-19 related delays, Adele continues to captivate audiences with her powerful voice and candid personality.
As Pride Month kicks off, Adele’s response serves as a reminder to spread love and acceptance, especially in a time dedicated to celebrating diversity and inclusivity. The incident also highlights the importance of addressing harmful behavior and standing up against discrimination in all forms.
