Adele is always creating memorable moments on stage, but turning on the Olympics halfway through a show? It’s legendary.
The fabulous British singer is currently following through on her Munich residency which will see her play two shows each week from August 2 2024 and wrap up on August 31 2024.
Already, it seems like she’s created a viral moment, thanks to her love of women’s sport.
On August 3, Adele decided to catch up on the 2024 Paris Olympic games, particularly the Women’s track and field 100-meter final.

The 'Chasing Pavements' singer decided there was no better time to watch the games than right in the middle of her own show.
However, there seems to be a little bit of confusion online as to who she was rooting for.
In the final, a competitor for Team GB was present Daryll Neita.
But a lot of people seemed to believe she was cheering on Team USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson instead - appearing to shout "Go on, girl!" when the American was on screen.
On attendee decided to video the moment and upload it to X, formerly Twitter to show everything how much of a fan of the Olympics Adele truly is.
In the clip, you can see the women sprinting for their lives (and for gold) on the giant screen at the concert which seats 80,000 people.
When Adele stopped the concert and the screens played the women’s 100m final, people applauded her actions.
One person wrote: “She’s a real one for this. We love women supporting women.”
Another penned: “That’s a typical Adele thing to do.”
Someone else wrote: “If I didn’t respect Adele before, I respect her raised to power 10 million. She’s so real for that.”
This latest stint shows exactly what kind of person Adele is and we all love her for it.
But when is the woman finally going to bring out new music?
According to the singer, it won’t be for a long time.
Last month, Adele shared with media that she had ‘no plans’ to release new music.
Maybe now she’s shown how much of a sports fan she is, she could get a job in the sports commentary business instead?
A bit of Adele crooning down Olympians’ ears right before they set off on their tournaments would doubtless spur them to gold.
She said to Germany’s ZDF public broadcast service last month: “I don’t have any plans for new music at all.
“I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”
Considering she was so keen on watching the track and field final, you may be wondering what the results were.
Unfortunately, both Team GB and Team USA didn’t win gold, but it was a close call for Sha’Carri.
Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia was the ultimate winner who home the gold medal, finishing at a time of 10.72.
Sha’Carri Richardson finished in second place at a time of 10.87 and Melissa Jefferson finished with bronze at 10.92.
