Way back in 2022, a study by Yard, a sustainable marketing agency, showed that the 34-year-old singer’s use of private jets was one of the worst contributors to climate change and CO2 emissions. People were quick to criticise and make jokes about Swift after speculation that this will be her mode of transport to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers.

There were some however who came to Taylor’s defence and supported her throughout the critiques. British singer-songwriter Adele publicly spoke out at one of her Las Vegas residency shows Weekends With Adele and told the haters to “get a f**king life.” The “Hello” singer went on to say “I want the 49ers to win but I also want the Chiefs to win. I think I want the Chiefs to win just because Taylor Swift goes for them…and all of you that are complaining about Taylor Swift being at the games, get a fucking life! It’s her fucking man! She’s actually made it a bit more enjoyable to watch, because like I said I have no idea what’s going on.”

Swift had also received backlash from NFL players Rob Gronkowski and Tony Dungy for appearing at games too frequently and being shown too often. Kelce’s brother Jason supported the American Sweetheart’s actions by saying: “She’s the quintessential artist right now in the world, singer-songwriter, immensely talented, unbelievable role model for young women across the globe. So I think that the NFL would probably be foolish not to show her and be a role model for all the young girls out there.”

The June performances are reportedly going to be recorded and released as a concert special, so that Adele fans around the world who were unable to make the shows at her Las Vegas residency will be able to watch them. Adele ended the fans speculation about her plans after her Las Vegas residency came to an end, as she announced the news to a sold-out colosseum crowd about her plans to continue on in June.

She announced to the crowd ”Playing to 4,000 people for 34 dates is not enough, and I know that. So I am coming back for a few weeks in June and I’m going to release it to make sure anyone who wants to see this show can see it.” Adele posted to her Instagram a poster for ”Weekends with Adele” and captioned the post ”See you soon” with a link to the Ticketmaster pre-sale, which opens Wednesday April 5.

The ”Someone Like You” singer kicked off her sold-out Las Vegas residency shows last November, following postponement which was reportedly due to delivery delays and the COVID-19 Pandemic. After announcing the news that she had to postpone her residency, leaving fans devastated, Adele described the situation saying ”It was the worst moment in my career, by far. It was devastating. There was just no soul in it. The stage setup wasn’t right. It was very disconnected from me and my band, and it lacked intimacy. And maybe I tried too hard to give it those things in such a controlled environment.” 

Adele continued to explain that the first couple of months were a struggle for her, but her confidence was boosted as people would tell her ”It was a very brave thing to do.” She also carried on to say, ”I don’t think many people would have done what I did. I’m very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs.”

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Adele’s Las Vegas residency could likely extend into November, as Caesars Palace is reportedly promoting her ‘‘Weekends with Adele” shows as part of a £5 million high-roller package, which is centred around the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, which is scheduled for the same month. There has also been news reports that Adele has been offered over a million dollars per night to continue performing at Caesars Palace.
