Adele is having a moment. Count us in for the heartbreak — and renewal
All Adele. All day. Because really, what else do we need?
The British singer is back with a new album, a new love and a new attitude.
It all looks good on her, so this week's Pop Life Chronicles is all about Adele to make her feel our love.
Three things to watch
'Adele One Night Only'
The sumptuous location, Adele in that couture gown and, oh, the music.
Adele's CBS special owes us nothing, as she slayed with the tunes, the banter and the interview in Oprah Winfrey's gorgeous garden.
And did we mention the absolutely precious marriage proposal that happened during the show at LA's Griffith Observatory?
You can watch (or rewatch) it all happen on Paramount+, where it's currently streaming.
'Skyfall'
No, Adele didn't act in this one, but she sang the theme song for the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise.
So come for the car chases, high-tech gadgets and Daniel Craig's suave demeanor, but stay for the music that earned Adele an Academy Award for best original song in 2013.
Adele's Album of the Year win at the 59th Grammys
It's not a streaming movie or TV show, but I had to include one of the greatest Grammy speech moments ever.
Adele took to the Grammys stage in 2017 to accept the award for album of the year for "25," talked about her life, praised her son and husband at the time, then tearfully said she couldn't possibly accept because the album of her life was Beyoncé's "Lemonade," which had also been nominated.
"It was so monumental, Beyoncé," Adele said to her fellow nominee, who was seated in the front row.
The camera went to a pregnant, tearful Bey in the audience, mouthing her love for Adele. They were crying and we were, too, at how wonderful it was to see two queens supporting each other.
Two things to listen to
This one is so easy because her new album, "30," has dropped.
Adele's fourth studio album felt a long time coming since her last one was released in 2015.
Her debut single from the new collection, "Easy on Me," blew up on the charts and streaming services — and the album has been expected to be a massive seller from the moment it had been announced.
I feel like any album with a single titled "I Drink Wine" can't help but win.
It's out now.
For a bit of nostalgia, go back and listen to her "21" album from 2011.
With hits like "Rolling in the Deep" and "Set Fire to the Rain," Adele defied the sophomore jinx, which often finds successful artists unable to do well with their second album.
Not only did she gain critical acclaim, she could barely hold all the Grammys she won the following year.
One thing to talk about
Adele seems different these days, and we are not talking about her weight loss.
Instead, she seems more confident and willing to let fans in on her life and thoughts.
Opening up in an interview with Vogue and her sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, she seems relaxed and happier in her skin.
She talked to Winfrey about how being in this new place in her life helped her find love with superstar sports agent Rich Paul.
"It's just timing," she said. "But it'd be interesting to see what my reaction is like in general to anything that hurts me now that I feel so secure in myself, and I'm talking outside of romance as well."
Speaking of Adele and Paul, they are one of the Hollywood couples discussed in the latest episode of my weekly show.
Something to sip on
For years, Adele would disappear from the scene and only come back when she had new music to drop.
It was a risky strategy in a time when fans have come to expect celebrity visibility on social media and everywhere else.
But the thing is, I don't think Adele gave a flying, ahem, thought about strategy.
She appeared to simply just be living her life, which enabled her to write the songs that we have come to love.
Now she has done her first Instagram Live (where she couldn't have been more charming) and allowed her followers to share in the excitement of the new album.
And even if she chooses to drop off the scene again — remember this is a woman who said her last tour might be her final tour — she owes us absolutely nothing because artistically she has already given us so much.
阿黛尔的专属时刻。把我们算在心碎之列吧 - 最新
所有阿黛尔。一整天。因为真的，我们还需要什么？
这位英国歌手带着新专辑、新的爱情和新的态度回来了。
她的一切看起来都很好，所以本周的流行生活编年史都是关于阿黛尔让她感受到我们的爱。
需要注意的三件事
'阿黛尔只住一晚'
奢华的位置，阿黛尔穿着高级定制礼服，哦，还有音乐。
阿黛尔的哥伦比亚广播公司特别节目不欠我们什么，因为她在奥普拉温弗瑞华丽的花园里用曲调、戏谑和采访杀死了我们。
我们有没有提到在洛杉矶格里菲斯天文台演出期间发生的绝对珍贵的求婚？
您可以在派拉蒙 + 上观看（或重新观看）这一切，它目前正在播放。
'天降'
不，阿黛尔没有在这部电影中演出，但她为詹姆斯邦德系列第 23 部演唱了主题曲。
因此，为了追逐汽车、高科技小玩意和丹尼尔·克雷格 (Daniel Craig) 温文尔雅的风度而来，但为了让阿黛尔 (Adele) 在 2013 年获得奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲奖的音乐而留下来。
阿黛尔的年度专辑在第 59 届格莱美颁奖典礼上获胜
这不是流媒体电影或电视节目，但我必须包括有史以来最伟大的格莱美演讲之一。
2017年，阿黛尔以《25》登上格莱美舞台领奖，谈起自己的生活，称赞当时的儿子和丈夫，泪流满面表示无法接受，因为她的专辑生命是碧昂斯的“柠檬水”，这也被提名。
“这太具有纪念意义了，碧昂丝，”阿黛尔对她坐在前排的被提名人说。
镜头转向观众席中怀孕、泪流满面的贝伊，口中说出她对阿黛尔的爱。他们在哭，我们也很高兴看到两个皇后互相支持。
两件事要听
这个很简单，因为她的新专辑“30”已经下架了。
阿黛尔的第四张录音室专辑自 2015 年发行上一张专辑以来已经有很长一段时间了。
她的新专辑“Easy on Me”中的首张单曲在排行榜和流媒体服务上大放异彩——从发布之日起，人们就预计这张专辑将大卖。
我觉得任何一张单曲名为“I Drink Wine”的专辑都忍不住赢了。
现在出来了。
怀念一下，回去听听她 2011 年的“21”专辑。
凭借“Rolling in the Deep”和“Set Fire to the Rain”等热门歌曲，阿黛尔无视二年级学生的魔咒，后者经常发现成功的艺术家无法在他们的第二张专辑中表现出色。
她不仅获得了评论界的赞誉，而且几乎无法捧起她第二年赢得的所有格莱美奖。
一件事要谈
阿黛尔这些天似乎不同了，我们不是在谈论她的减肥。
相反，她似乎更自信，更愿意让粉丝了解她的生活和想法。
在接受《Vogue》采访以及与奥普拉·温弗瑞 (Oprah Winfrey) 的坐下来交谈时，她的皮肤似乎变得轻松和快乐。
她和 Winfrey 谈到了在她生活中的这个新地方如何帮助她找到与超级明星体育经纪人 Rich Paul 的爱情。
“这只是时机，”她说。 “但现在我对自己感到如此安全，而且我也在谈论浪漫之外的事情，看看我对任何伤害我的事情的总体反应会很有趣。”
说到阿黛尔和保罗，他们是我每周节目的最新一集中讨论的好莱坞情侣之一。
喝点东西
多年来，阿黛尔会从现场消失，只有当她有新音乐要放弃时才会回来。
在粉丝开始期待名人在社交媒体和其他任何地方的知名度的时代，这是一种冒险的策略。
但问题是，我不认为阿黛尔给出了一个飞行的，咳咳，关于战略的想法。
她似乎只是过着自己的生活，这使她能够写出我们喜爱的歌曲。
现在她已经完成了她的第一次 Instagram Live（在那里她不可能更迷人）并让她的追随者分享新专辑的兴奋。
即使她选择再次离开现场——请记住，这位女士说她的最后一次巡演可能是她的最后一次巡演——她绝对不欠我们什么，因为在艺术上她已经给了我们这么多。
