At the 2023 Grammys, Adele ostensibly did not applaud Harry Styles.
Harry Styles defeated Adele to win the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Harry's House.
After Styles was named the 65th Annual Grammy Awards' top honoree, the Easy On Me singer appeared less ecstatic.Shortly after Styles’ win, a video started making rounds on the internet, showing most of the other stars in the room at the Crypto.com Arena lauding Styles for his achievement, Adele remained in her seat and didn’t appear to be clapping.
Harry Styles winning Album of the Year caused Adele to leave the Grammy Awards.
Adele, who was also nominated in the category this year for her album 30, was also spotted to push past Lizzo to leave the venue while Styles was still mid-speech.
Fans were quick to tweet, “Adele was NOT trying to listen to Harry’s speech as she walks out when he won Album of The Year at the #GRAMMYs this year over BeyoncĂ©.”
“Adele leaving during Harry Styles little speech and Lizzo understanding why has me weak. #GRAMMYs,” added another.
However, the singer’s fans also pointed out that during the live broadcast it was clear that Adele stayed throughout the speech and had merely stood up for a second.
