When it comes to Adele, the world is truly her oyster.
Every new release receives critical acclaim, every onstage performance is fawned over, and now, every one of Adele’s random appearances is turned into a meme.
Her latest entry into the internet’s comedy hall of fame? On February 22, the heartbreaking songstress became the apple of our eye yet again. The time, for simply sitting and minding her own business while watching a basketball game.
Attending the NBA All Star finals with her rumoured fiancé Rich Paul, the “I Drink Wine” singer sat next to RNB royalty Mary J. Blige, adorned in a matching leopard print coat and turtleneck dress.
While the internet certainly appreciated her chic ensemble, it was the 33-year-old musician’s reaction—or lack, thereof—when a sports channel coverage camera dramatically zoomed in on her, that caught their attention.
