Adele showed her resilience and adaptability during a recent concert in Munich, Germany, as she continued performing despite a massive storm that hit midway through her outdoor show. The 36-year-old singer, undeterred by the torrential rain, entertained thousands of fans while wearing sneakers—a rare sight for the usually barefoot performer. The concert was not only memorable for the weather but also for Adele’s confirmation of her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul, marking a significant moment in her ongoing European tour.

Adele won”t let rain stop her show! On Wednesday, the 36-year-old singer performed to thousands of fans in Munich, Germany, and proved she”s a master at adapting when she continued her show despite a huge storm arriving midway through the outdoor performance.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Adele is seen performing her song, “Oh My God,” in a torrential downpour. The GRAMMY winner walks down a series of steps onstage while one hand holds up her long black gown and the other grips her microphone. 

In another video shared on X, the singer reveals she is wearing sneakers or “trainers” instead of her usual preference to perform without shoes.

As Adele speaks with the crowd, the camera pans to her feet, which she is quick to call out. “Get your camera off my trainers,” she says, before getting distracted by her untied shoelaces. The singer takes a moment to ensure her sneakers are securely tied before resuming her show.

“Who just said nice shoes? Stop making fun of me,” she quips to an audience member.

Wednesday”s show is one in a month-long series of concerts at Munich”s 80,000-capacity outdoor arena, Messe München. It”s already been a memorable stop for the singer — during a show last week Adele finally confirmed that she and Rich Paul are taking their relationship to the next level. 

A video shared to X showed the singer telling a fan that she can”t marry them because she”s “already getting married.” She then held up her hand to display an engagement ring as the crowd cheered.

Adele and Rich Paul’s Cutest Moments Together

Adele and Paul, 42, have been dating since 2021, and have kept their relationship private, despite plenty of speculation about an engagement — or even a secret marriage. 

Last October, Paul was interviewed on CBS Mornings in support of his memoir, Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds. When pressed about marriage rumors and whether they should refer to Adele as “Mrs. Paul,” the sports agent remained coy, replying, “You can say whatever you want.”

“She”s been great, I think she would agree that we def helped each other. I”m in a good space, we”re in a good space. Happy. She”s superb,” he said. “She”s been great for me, we”ve been great for each other.”

Adele was previously in a relationship with Simon Konecki from 2011-19, with the pair secretly tying the knot sometime around 2017. The former couple share an 11-year-old son, Angelo.
