Adele is not attending Sunday night’s Super Bowl even though it’s a five minute drive from where she performs her hit Las Vegas Residency.
The British icon went viral at the 2023 Super Bowl when she turned up in a Fendi suit to sip cocktails and watch Rihanna‘s half time show.
Adele, whose partner is sports agent Rich Paul, has admitted she has no interest in returning for the 2024 game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, after admitting she couldn’t see Rihanna well despite having expensive seats with great views.
Speaking at her Sin City show, Adele said: ‘Last year I went, obviously I didn’t go for the football at all. I went to watch Rihanna.

‘I realised when I was there, It’s not really put on for the people in the stadium. It’s better on the TV because obviously I couldn’t see her.
‘Maybe I had bad tickets, I dunno. So I’m not going to go this year even though it’s right next door. And I love Usher, so I’m going to watch it on TV.’
‘I’m going to make some buffalo chicken wings In the air fryer? Yes. I run on the air fryer. It’s quicker and it’s healthier. There you go. It’s not an act (health eating), but I would recommend it very very much.’
The Oscar winner admits she has failed to grasp the rules of the NFL despite Rich explaining the game to her multiple times.
Adele, who headlines The Colosseum at Caesars Palace at weekends, also served up her thoughts on loving English football, known as soccer to the Americans, rather than having a clue about US Football – NFL.
Adele said: ‘No one ever sat me down and explained to me how soccer works. I’ve just been watching it my whole life. So I just understand it.
‘Whereas before, to be honest with you, before I got with my man, I’ve never even watched a football game.
‘I swear the poor guy has explained NFL football to me about a million times and then I’m like, ‘no, I don’t get it. One more time. I just don’t understand it.’

In October Adele ranted about Paul making his weekends centre on his love of American football. Adele admitted that she was ‘f***ing sick’ of Paul spending weekends watching the games.
Adele said: ‘My partner is a sports agent . He does basketball players and footballers. ‘I’d been missing the football season and I’m really missing the basketball season.
‘But now it’s started. I’m already f***ing sick of it. But his whole weekend is just booked with just watching games.’
‘Apparently I need to go to a college football game so that I can really find it out. I’m going to one. But anyway, I have spent a lot of my time trying to understand and also enjoy American football because I love sport. I actually love watching sports.’

‘And then I get so nervous about everyone’s heads ‘It’s a bit like rugby as well. I get nervous watching rugby because of their heads. I’m not the greatest wife really when it comes to football, even though my partner absolutely loves it.’
‘And I have to support the Cleveland Browns, which is my partner’s team. Well, why would I support anyone anyway? I am from f***ing England. I got to support my man’s team.’
Adele might not be an A-list presence in the stands on Sunday, but fans are eagerly anticipating fellow superstar Taylor Swift’s appearance as she flies in to support her Kansas City Chief’s boyfriend Travis Kelce.
