Adele has shown her unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community by shutting down anti-Pride heckling at her Las Vegas residency show in the most powerful way. A video of the incident has been making the rounds on social media, highlighting her quick and fierce response.
As Pride Month kicked off, LGBTQ+ allies, including Adele, have faced challenges from homophobes. The “Easy On Me” singer, known for her status as a gay icon and ally, demonstrated her support at a recent show at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. The incident occurred on Saturday night, marking the first day of June and the beginning of Pride Month.
During her performance at the Las Vegas Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Adele was interrupted by a heckler in the crowd who shouted, “Pride sucks!” Sitting at her piano, Adele immediately addressed the negative comment, shifting her focus from her song to the hateful interruption.

Shut those homophobes down. Good job!”
Adele’s support for the LGBTQ+ community is well-documented. She has politely declined queer fans’ marriage proposals and even intended her hit “Set Fire to the Rain” to be a “gay anthem.” Her interactions with fans during her residency shows often include moments of support and defense for the community.

In addition to defending Pride, Adele has also shown support for fellow artists. During a performance before the Super Bowl 2024, she defended Taylor Swift against backlash for attending various NFL games to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce. Adele told the crowd, “I’m a bit torn, because I kind of want the 49ers to win, but I also want the Chiefs to win. I think I want the Chiefs to win just because of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend. And all of you that are complaining about Taylor Swift being at the game, get a fcking life! It’s her f
Adele’s dedication to her fans and her unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community continue to endear her to many. Her bold stance against hate speech at her concert is just another example of why she remains a beloved figure in the music world.
