Adele Said She Posted One Instagram Photo, And Her Team Responded By Taking Her Passwords "Away From Me Again"

As Adele's (ethereal) new album, 30, makes plain, the powerhouse singer (like all of us) drinks wine. And just as our friends sometimes take our phones to safeguard us from drunk-posting, Adele's team is making sure she doesn't have the kind of access to overshare while tipsy.

The 33-year-old recently appeared on beauty YouTuber Nikkie de Jager's channel, where she revealed she doesn't have the passwords to her social media accounts.

"In COVID, [my team] let me have my password," Adele said in response to Nikkie's question about whether she read many Instagram DMs. "I was never allowed my passwords for my socials before. That’s actually quite a well-known fact. But obviously, the internet was on fire during COVID. It kept everyone’s morale up."

She continued, "I think they were worried if I'd get drunk or be annoying — whatever I would do. Not responding to anyone, more just posting my general thoughts."

The "Easy on Me" singer also seemed to reference one picture she actually did post herself that "a lot of people know about. It’s the only picture I ever posted myself, and then they took my password away from me again."

However, Adele did recently lead an Instagram Live, though she said she "would never do it again" because she had "no idea how to fucking use it." While she enjoyed the process and said it was definitely "memeworthy," she added that she got "annoyed" by her inability to figure out the platform.

We'll definitely miss the comedy gold that was her live Q&A (and just overall her relatability)! Her cultural appropriation, though? Not so much — at all, really!
