Adele triggers a memefest as she calls for silence during Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime performance

The singer was recently spotted expressing support for Beyonce at the Grammys earlier this month

GLENDALE, ARIZONA: The Super Bowl had its fair share of celebrity show ups, but none was so talked about as Adele! The English singer-songwriter was captured on camera as she spoke to a pair of men flanking her and her meme-worthy face has the internet in splits! She is seen snapping her fingers and calling for silence, in anticipation of Rihanna’s halftime show, after she previously declared that she was attending only to show her support for her fellow singer.

The 'Rolling in the Deep’ singer was seen sitting in the VIP section of the arena, where she was accompanied by the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Jay-Z and Paul McCartney. In the clip that has now been shared by millions, Adele is seen wearing a huge pair of sunglasses and sipping her drink, while quickly shushing the men around her to make sure that they remain quiet while Rihanna performs. She had declared previously that she did not care for the sports aspect of the Super Bowl much and was only showing up for the ‘Love The Way You Lie’ singer. “I’m going just for Rihanna. I don’t give a flying f**k,” she had said.
