I immediately thought when I saw the pic, what is she doing!? Seriously!? Right now of all times!?
I doubt she meant any ill will and I’m sure she meant it in the kindest way possible, but she should have known better.

I think context is important and in Adele's case she's paying tribute to Jamaican culture in a festival, it shouldn't be that serious. There are much more important issues regarding racism, especially in US. Black Twitter attacking everyone doesn't help the matter, instead they should try to educate people on why it's wrong to appropriate another culture and why people should be more sensitive to the issue. Attacking and cancelling people will only backfire and will achieve nothing. It's better to educate more people on this issue is what i think. If i'm wrong or if my opinions offend people, sorry about that.

Fine line between appreciation and appropriation, people. Ain’t like she went full-blown Chet Hanks.

Racism is real, and racism is systemic. Racism has caused so much suffering, and continues to do so. However, Adele celebrating this, while tone-deaf in 2020, is not the problem. It's problematic, in the most woke sense of the word, but it is not the enemy. And unfortunately, this is why the left is currently in decline and so many POC are going to the right. I wish the world wasn't like this, but everything is a game, and you have to play it smart if you want to win. I do not think we should be going after Adele for celebrating Jamaican culture. There is actual damaging cultural appropriation going on, and by doing this we are cheapening the movement, weakening it, giving detractors fuel and fire. lmao, wait, what?

Adele obviously didn't have any malicious intent with doing this and people know that. She isn't going to be cancelled. Everyone still loves her. Bring on the new album.

I’m listening to my 21 vinyl and I am so hyped for new music from this woman. If Adele gives us a dance bop or two, I’ll be throwing all my money at her for vinyl, CD, deluxe editions, etc everything.
I am most curious to see how she performs chart wise after her last release in 2015. I’m expecting front-loaded stats but longevity is definitely possible. I just want Adele to return.

I have given up any hope that we get new music from her this year... especially if she's really waiting for the pandemic to be over.

Rumour has it that she'll be dropping the album next month with a single coming soon. Seems to be a number of rumours about.

I'm on "the left" side of politics and am so annoyed to people giving Adele crap. She's such a fun, funny, loving person who has no bad intentions. I see a happy Adele finding herself in her new body and I am living for it. I cannot WAIT for her new music and really hope it's coming soon -- she's one of the few artists who I think can excel in pandemic restrictions by giving at-home performances, etc.

Impact > intent, each and every time. I don't think she needs to be crucified, but hopefully she is learning from these missteps. She has a lot of power and influence, and having a star of her caliber make these mistakes publicly and then learn from them = a fantastic way to lead by example.

Adele coming to save the music industry again in 2020. :'(
I do wonder what her opening numbers will be like in the US? I assume she'll be on streaming services ASAP. 1 million+ comfortably, but I wonder if she can push the 2mil mark or even just pull an Adele and end up beating her own record with 4-5 million or something ridiculous.

I can't stop winning I swear... so many people are starting their new eras.
I'm pretty sure she's getting ready to begin promoting, although she could literally drop a five second memo of her snapping her fingers and it would sell tons. I'm hoping she drops her lead on the 30th and then the album sometime in November.
Its such an exciting time for music!
