Adele Endorses Hillary Onstage, Possibly Unaware That She’s In The Audience
Last night, Hillary Clinton took a quick break from campaigning in the crucial swing state of Florida to take in an Adele concert at Miami’s American Airlines Arena. Clinton has said that she’s a fan of Adele, and as the Huffington Post reports, Adele returned the endorsement last night, telling a very enthusiastic crowd to vote for Clinton: “I am English, but what happens in America affects me too. Don’t vote for him… I can’t vote, but I am 100 percent for Hillary Clinton. I love her, she’s amazing.” Here’s a fan-made video:

Unclear if Adele knows HRC is in the audience tonight. If so, she hasn't mentioned it and HRC has no plans to go on stage, per an aide.

Adele made no acknowledgement of the fact that Clinton was in the audience, and it’s possible that she didn’t even know, though I have to imagine that someone would’ve told her before she went onstage. Either way, it’s cool that Clinton got to be there and hear that crowd roar. It’s Clinton’s birthday today, so maybe that was an early present.
