Adele can now officially add “matchmaker” to her resume of never-ending list of talents and contributions. While what we’re used to seeing with the singer is tales about heartbreak and failed relationships does not mean the singer is anti-love, quite the opposite. Adele took the opportunity during her CBS special, Adele: One Night Only, to bring two fans together for a surprise proposal that gave us our weekly dose of love and positivity to keep us going.
The story goes that the man had reached out to the show, but in reality it was a “fake show” according to Adele. The “fake show” was a guise to hide the surprise proposal between the man and his girlfriend of seven years, isn’t that just adorable? Of course the preliminary events that led up to this moment was a picnic in the park near Adele’s show, who else can say that?
But this is definitely not the first time Adele has helped fans coordinate a proposal at one of her shows, far from it. Adele has long been an advocate for this special moment between two people.
The venue is Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain on May 25, 2016. Adele stops her performance in order to make a special announcement to the crowd. Another time, In Melbourne, Australia on March 19, 2017, while ever-so Britishly holding a cup of tea while wearing a sparkly gown, Adele stops mid-monologue to introduce a couple who are preparing to get engaged.
And again at another concert in 2016, Adele brought another couple up in Zürich, Switzerland.
So yes, while Adele writes songs that are lamentations about lost love and in her newest album’s case, divorce, Adele is not a cynic about celebrations of new love. She platforms any opportunity to remind people that true love exists, and that it should be shown to the world, or a least to the crowd at her concerts.
