In case you ever wondered if Adele is truly one of us, a woman of the people, here’s our proof. Adele reads gossip blogs and she obsesses over celebrity couples too. And Adele is really sad about the end of Brangelina. As it turns out, she was probably something of a Brangeloonie. She even went so far as to dedicate her Madison Square Garden concert last night to Brangelina. I’m not joking!!! I love that she did this.
She wishes nothing but the best for you two! Adele paused for a moment during her show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, September 20, to offer support to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, with news of their split having broken earlier that day.
“Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room,” the singer, 28, told her fans during the second stop of a six-night run at the famed Manhattan arena. “Did everybody hear about Brad and Angelina? It feels like the end of an era, so I’m dedicating this show tonight to them.”
“I know — I don’t like all the gossip, and personal lives are private,” she admitted. But she added, “I woke up this morning, and I was shocked.”
The Grammy winner pointed out that she doesn’t actually know the pair personally, but just that their breakup had brought up a lot of feelings for her.
Adele also told the audience that dedicating the concert to Brangelina seemed justified since the concert was just going to be playing “two hours of misery” – as in, her songs are about broken hearts and love gone wrong – and that the concert could act as “a group Brangelina breakup therapy session. Also, there are songs.” Adele is the best. For Brangeloonies like me and Adele, we do need a little “Someone Like You” today.

I kind of love that she did this. Her music really is the perfect background for this kind of dramatic separation
I still dont get why everyone had this Idea they were a forever couple, if anything they both seemed to always take pains parsing that they were all “FOR THE KIDS” as opposed to ya know those couples that run their mouths about “when we’re 80” …. That said My Mom is still not speaking to me after I Told her yesterday and she cursed me out
I’ve never cared about any celebrity couple until Brangelina. They just seemed so perfect – gorgeous, accomplished, beautiful family, jet setting life…but now that you mention it, they didn’t really talk about sharing rockers at the elderly actors nursing home someday.
I’m a very rational person, but they just seemed to be living the Barbie and Ken fantasies of my childhood. Intellectually, I realize I don’t know them…but darn, they broke my heart yesterday! I will never believe in celebrity love again…

What’s your mom upset about, QQ? That you said you didn’t think they’d stay together or that you even dared to pass along the news of the divorce.
Aww that is so sweet of her. I’ve followed this couple since the start and I was shocked yesterday as well. To me, the saddest part is that this is turning out to be ugly and I always thought that if they did split, they would continue to put a united front for the sake of the kids.
What did you do Brad?
I think we should feel for poor Stella who was trying to single-handedly hold down the fort yesterday, doing her best to try and shift focus back to how we should be talking about JA and her faults.
Att’l do, Stella. Att’l do.
??
Who?
After reading this, Adele’s next “rip your soul through your tear ducts” ballad will forever be about them in my mind. Don’t bother trying to put me straight Miss Adele, I know you’re somewhere right now sipping tea and honey while you put into song the phenomenon that was Brangelina.
Haha, I love Adele and I bet she would be a great friend to get over a breakup with.
I was Team No One when it happened. Well, I felt bad for JA because it was a pretty crappy situation to have your husband leave you so publicly for a va va voom co-star and then have to watch the two of them blab to the press about their love story for the ages. Both BP and AJ acted like insensitive assh*les. And I don’t think either of them ever really apologized or acknowledged how selfishly they behaved during the whole thing. Granted, divorce due to adultery doesn’t make anyone look good, but it could have been handled better.
But about Adele-one of the reasons I like her is that she doesn’t take herself seriously and acknowledges that her music has a sob sister image and is okay with it.
I’m seeing her at Madison Square Garden next week and I am SO EXCITED!!
ohhh enjoy!! I’m sure it’ll be a great show!
I was at her L.A. Show…it was fantastic! Had the BEST a Time! Enjoy!☺️
She’s such a cool gal. This was sweet of her.
Oh good grief. Pitt and Jolie are actors, and not particularly good ones. This was her third marriage and his second, and their relationship timing was pretty questionable. Why would anyone hold them up as an ideal couple? Because they’re both good-looking and have ridiculous amounts of money? I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did.
