Adele Claps Back at Concertgoer During Pride Month Show
Adele faced controversy as Pride Month began when a concert attendee allegedly shouted “Pride sucks” during her Las Vegas residency show on Saturday. The incident, captured in a brief video posted by Popbase, quickly went viral on social media, sparking discussions about the singer’s response and the importance of LGBTQ+ allyship. Adele can be heard in the video confronting the audience member, telling them to “shut up” and not be “ridiculous” if they have nothing nice to say.
Adele’s Immediate Response and Fan Reactions
Some fans present at the show suggested that Adele may have misheard the attendee’s remarks. While there was uncertainty about the exact nature of the comment, many fans praised Adele for supporting the LGBTQ+ community. The singer has a history of allyship, dedicating a concert in Antwerp, Belgium, to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, back in June 2016.
Adele’s Stand Against Audience Behavior
Throughout her career, Adele has not shied away from addressing audience behavior. She has even called out troubling trends like people throwing objects at artists during performances, often resulting in injuries. Adele has advocated for the safety of her audience members, halting performances to reprimand venue security for bothering fans.
