Pretty much everything Adele does becomes a meme — including that time she shushed everyone at the Super Bowl earlier this year.
This time? A camera caught the superstar singer at Game 6 of the Los Angeles Lakers’ eventual first-round win over the Memphis Grizzlies — reminder, she’s dating Klutch Sports agent Rich Paul, and she was wearing a Klutch sweatshirt that night — watching the action and she appeared to stifle a yawn.
Now: There’s no judgement here. She could have been bored, but also she’s busy as heck. She may just need to catch up on sleep. Heck, maybe she was digging something out of her teeth!
Regardless, it became an instant meme:
It looks this clip of the singer just existing kick-started the low-key phenomenon.

Another clip of the avid basketball fan casually bopping her head to Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” at the Western Conference Finals also had fans tickled.
\u201cIt’s encouraging to see that Adele is just like the rest of us when Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” comes on; even while she sits courtside at the Western Conference Finals in San Francisco. @Adele @DUALIPA\u201d— Sean Cunningham (@Sean Cunningham) 1653100345

Forget basketball.
Fans are in it to win it by investing their focus entirely on Adele.

The latest viral video examination of our favorite Grammy-winning singer was of her appearing to be yawning with her mouth closed out of respect for the game.

Inconspicuously bored Adele is so relatable.
