Adele sent fans into a frenzy after she was spotted vibing in the crowd during Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism tour in Los Angeles.
The British pop icon made a rare public appearance at the Levitating singer’s fourth and final show at the Kia Forum on Wednesday, October 8. Shortly after the concert began, fan-captured videos surfaced on social media — and one clip in particular had the internet buzzing: Adele grooving to Don’t Start Now.
It didn’t take long for fans to explode with excitement over the unexpected crossover. “When Adele sings your song, you don’t need a Grammy — you’ve been baptized by vocals,” one user raved on X (formerly Twitter).
Another fan called it “a full-circle moment,” writing, “Adele singing Dua Lipa is one powerhouse hyping another. British pop stays winning when it’s women supporting women instead of competing.”
Others chimed in with equal enthusiasm:
“Adele vibing to Dua like that is such an iconic crossover, honestly.”
“Adele vibing to Dua Lipa? That’s pop royalty cheering on pop royalty.”
“Absolute perfection.”
“Real British excellence.”
Adele’s appearance at the show marked a rare public outing following her announcement of an indefinite hiatus from music. The 16-time Grammy and Oscar winner wrapped up her Las Vegas residency on November 23, 2024, and told fans she needed time to rest.
“My tank is quite empty,” she said at the time. “You’re not gonna see me for an incredibly long time.”
Though she may be stepping away from the spotlight, moments like this prove Adele is still very much in tune with — and supporting — the next wave of British pop stars
She told fans she needed a rest after performing for nearly three consecutive years, explaining her “tank is quite empty” and that she would not see them “for an incredibly long time.”
