Adele Has Every Last Demographic Sewn Up Now

Bloody hell, here we fucking go, it's Adele! We all love Adele don't we, love it when Adele does something a bit down-to-earth. She's just like us! And that's just it: Adele is just like every single one of us – besides the whole being able to belt a note like it's the end of days thing – and that is why she is so beloved. She has every possible demographic at her will:

Absolutely got the mums and nans on lock. "She wears lovely dresses, Adele does. I'd like one like hers for our 25th wedding anniversary. She's got an absolutely lovely voice hasn't she? I'd love her album on my iPod." Her 'iPod' is what your mum/nan calls her phone.

Dads, surprisingly enough, also love Adele, because all of them once read that Stevie Nicks likes her. They also love how she stays covered up, and "has a bit of self-respect, not like these half-naked girls on the telly".

Facebook status from Jenny in accounts: "Wild Friday night in with new Adele album and a bottle of red!! Trying not to cry!! Love how she's so relatable x."

Facebook status from Michael in HR: "Not usually into pop but Adele seems like a laugh *laughing crying face emoji* *laughing crying face emoji* *laughing crying face emoji* *100 emoji*"

Children who are good at singing are apparently really into "Someone Like You"? If you have not had to sit in a family party where a precocious cousin aged nine sings an a capella version of "Someone Like You" you are a lucky person.

Tweet, @hiyalauren, 23 October 2015: "I wanna know who does Adele's acrylics."

This short list, of course, can only be treated as the sampler platter of loving Adele, because it does not even come anywhere close to the cultural cross section of people who love Adele: literally everyone loves Adele in some way. This is because Adele is a good skin, and she is nice to Stormzy, and she is a Beyoncé stan, and she balances the independent UK music industry atop her magnificently inoffensive shoulders.

One of the most adoring Adele audiences that I have not mentioned, however, is the LGBT community: she is a diva in the grand tradition of Streisand, and has become something of a queer icon because of it. And at a concert in Perth during her current Australian tour, she paid tribute to that important part of her audience by bringing drag queen and Adele impersonator DJ Feminem onstage with her.

Speaking to Australian radio station 6PR, Feminem said, "I kind of caught her eye in the first 15 minutes of the show and she gave me a bit of a wink and a wave and I was just having fun, and then when she came further and was walking down the catwalk, she circled the stage she stopped and she said 'I want to meet you.' And security did the rest."

Below, you can see a video of their encounter – which features DJ Feminem singing "Rumour Has It" and Adele asking, like your pissed best mate, god bless her, "why didn't you tell me my face was so sweaty?" after the two take a #selfie, because Adele does them just like us – and wonder again at how maybe Adele is the thing that unites us all. Even you! You definitely love Adele.
