Adele is holding herself accountable ⤵️

. Adele expressed in her acceptance speech at the time that she felt the Grammy should have gone to Beyoncé, and she doubled down on those sentiments in theprofile. “My personal opinion is that Beyoncé definitely should have won,” she said, adding that she had just assumed Beyoncé would win until the ceremony started. “I just got this feeling: ‘I f**king won it.’ I got overwhelmed, with, like, ‘I will have to go and tell her how much her record means to me.

So she did — the “Chasing Pavements” singer went to Beyoncé's dressing room after the ceremony and had a private conversation with the superstar. “I just said to her, like, the way that the Grammys works, and the people who control it at the very, very top—they don’t know what a visual album is,” Adele said. “They don’t want to support the way that she’s moving things forward with her releases and the things that she’s talking about.

Adele also went on to speak on the impact on Beyonce’s sixth studio album. “For my friends who are women of color, it was such a huge acknowledgment for them, of the sort of undermined grief that they go through,” Adele told. “For her to nail that on the head, and also bring in the entire globe? I was like, ‘This album is my album, she just knows what I’m going through.’ That album was not written for me. But yet I could still feel like, this is the biggest gift.

Adele is well aware that Black people have to be extraordinary, sometimes even revolutionizing the industry they work in, to succeed — and even then still won’t gain the rewards they deserve. She has also shown that even allies will make mistakes. However, listening and acknowledging those mistakes is what can make all the difference. And do you know what that is? Growth.

good she didn't take the post down ..it is indeed like it never happened if you do that ..never back down , you might need it one day !

No, you did what is absolutely appropriate for Notting Hill. What you got were lectures from clueless Americans imposing their own cultural norms on a foreign country, when you never asked for them.

On board 💯....im sorry but what IS the problem with someone celebrating other nationalities they are interested in getting to know better....I truly believe in my heart of hearts...imitation is the best form of flattery...I want to be able to experience someone else's reality
