At a concert in Los Angeles on Saturday night (Aug 13), Adele revealed to her fans that the NFL asked her to be a part of Super Bowl LI in Houston on February 5, 2017 — but she declined.
“Come, on. That show is not about music, and I don’t dance or anything like that. They were really kind, they did ask me, but I did say no,” she said Saturday, eliciting boos from the audience.
For days rumors swirled that she would headline the Super Bowl’s half time performance, which has been taken on by a long list of musical powerhouses including Beyoncé, Madonna, Bruno Mars, Bruce Springsteen and Prince.
In her defense, the shows have been known for being upbeat and high-energy, while Adele’s is known for her soulful ballads.
“I know I’m not Beyoncé, I can’t dance or anything like that,” Adele said.
