The British star has been settling into her time in the U.S. after kicking off her Las Vegas residency in November 2022. The inaugural concert at Caesars Palace marked the first of 32 Adele shows at the venue, coming nearly a year after she postponed the Las Vegas residency in late January. At the time, she told fans that she “tried my hardest” to pull the show together in time, but fell short. But now, the show is seemingly right where she wants it to be.
“Thank you so much for coming back to me,” Adele told the crowd, per The Guardian. “It looks just like I imagined it would, it’s just perfect, thank you.”

The packed venue of 4,100 fans experience, on walls of video screens at times, the singer opening the show with No. 1 single “Hello,” and played through other hits like “Send My Love (To Your New Lover),” “Rumor Has It,” “When We Were Young,” “Someone Like You,” and “Rolling in the Deep.” Dressed in glamorous off-the-shoulder velvet gown and walking intimately around the venue, Adele also performs some of the tracks off her latest November 2021 release 30, such as “I Drink Wine,” “Love Is a Game,” and “Hold On.”
Adele announced her rescheduled dates in July 2022 after she canceled shows due to behind-the-scenes production issues. The revamped “Weekends with Adele” shows will now run through March 25.

“It would have been a really half-arsed show and I can’t do that,” the 15-time Grammy winner told Graham Norton in January 2022. “People will see straight through me up on the stage. … I’ve never done anything like that in my life, and I’m not going to start now.”
The 2023 Grammy Awards are airing live on CBS and Paramount+ Sunday night from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
