Adele played a concert in Miami, Florida Tuesday night at the American Airlines Arena, where Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance as an early birthday celebration. Hillary spent all of Tuesday campaigning in south Florida. Clinton had a packed schedule including, a Coconut Creek rally, her final Florida fundraiser in Pinecrest, and a stop at Univision’s Studios for an appearance on the El Gordo y la Flaca talk show. Clinton’s supporters did not forget her birthday while she campaigned, though. At the Coconut Creek rally, the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Hillary. On the El Gordo y la Flaca talk show, Hillary was offered cookies and tequila shots. She was also serenaded by singer Prince Royce, who had backup from a mariachi band. After her special, but busy day, Hillary had the chance to unwind a little on the eve of her 69th birthday. Hillary’s motorcade made a final stop at the American Airlines Arena, where Hillary attended Adele’s concert.

It’s no secret that Hillary is a huge fan of Adele. Hillary said that Adele was her, “go-to voice,” in a SiriusXM interview back in March. Clinton also added, “I have such a huge admiration for her skills, her abilities and her personality.”
Adele returned the compliment at her Tuesday concert when she confidently endorsed Clinton. Adele took a break from singing to say, “I am 100 percent for Hillary Clinton. I love her, she’s amazing.” It has not been confirmed whether or not Adele knew the Democratic nominee was in the audience. Either way, Adele’s endorsement must have been a lovely birthday present for Hillary.

Adele didn’t stop at her praise of Hillary, though. The singer took the opportunity to urge concert-goers not to vote for Donald Trump. Adele said, “I’ve got to be honest with you, I’m really glad I’m not an American at the moment, it’s hard work.” She continued, “I wouldn’t know what to do, I mean I do know what to do - don't vote for him, that's all I'm saying.”
Looks like Adele is officially on the #ImWithHer bandwagon!
