(MIAMI) — Adele’s British, so she can’t vote in the election, but she made it quite clear on Tuesday night which candidate she’d vote for if she were able to.
Speaking from the stage in Miami, Florida, the Grammy and Oscar-winner asked the crowd how they were feeling about the election. While she acknowledged that she’s British, she said what happens in America affects her too. “I’ve got to be honest with you, I’m really glad I’m not an American at the moment, it’s hard work,” she told her fans. “I wouldn’t know what to do, I mean I do know what to do: don’t vote for him, that’s all I’m saying.”
As the audience cheered, Adele continued, “I support Hillary Clinton 100 percent, I do. And for anyone else that wants to vote for him, I don’t care, good for you, do whatever you want. I’m just letting you know who I would vote for.”
Hilary Clinton happened to be in the audience at the concert, her campaign confirmed. Perhaps it was an early birthday present: the Democratic presidential nominee turns 69 today, and she’s previously said she enjoys Adele’s music.
You may recall that earlier in the campaign, a spokesman for Adele said that Republican nominee Donald Trump didn’t have permission to use her music at his rallies — he’d been using “Skyfall” and “Rolling in the Deep.”
