Adele Loves ‘Espresso,’ Sabrina Carpenter Responds
Adele might be getting serious with her boyfriend, Rich Paul, but it is Sabrina Carpenter that keeps her up at night. Recently, Adele has shared how much she loves Carpenter’s “Espresso” during her Weekends with Adele Las Vegas Residency.
A viral clip of the Grammy winner sitting at the piano tells the audience how she “nearly pissed herself” because her “whole body clock was out of sync” after a rare late-night performance. As the crowd laughs at how blunt Adele notoriously is, she continues her tale of desperation “for a pee” well after 11 p.m.
Adele Loves Her Some ‘Espresso’
The “Hello” singer’s late-night recollection wrapped up at her hotel by warming her voice down and taking a steam shower. Like many folks with a lot on their minds, Adele also gets random songs stuck in her head when trying to get some sleep. “I’m normally in bed by 9 p.m.,” she tells the crowd. “I found myself singing, ‘I’m working late, ’cause I’m a singer.'”
As Adele gave her little rendition of the recently-released track by Carpenter, the crowd hooted and hollered. Adele loves the track so much, she added a sigh of admiration as she named the artist and continued to sing. “‘I can’t relate to desperation.’ That song is my jam! It came out when I couldn’t f—ing talk!”
Elaborating, Adele said she couldn’t “talk or sing, so… all last night and this morning, that’s what I’ve been singing. From tomorrow, it’ll be: ‘I’m sleeping late, ’cause I’m a singer’ — because that’s what I’m going to do tomorrow.”
After the clip of Adele went viral, Carpenter took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to the “Set Fire to the Rain” singer’s praise. Carpenter, who is known for changing up her lyrics to naughty ones while on tour, gave Adele’s love the same treatment. “all i read was Adele thinks about me in bed <3.
Carpenter dropped “Espresso” on April 11. Leading up to that, she was the opener for Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour in Australia, Brazil, and Singapore. Carpenter, 25, gained further popularity when she started dating Saltburn star Barry Keoghan. The Irish actor has been in attendance of Carpenter’s shows with Taylor Swift as well as her recent Coachella performance.
The dance-pop track was recently performed during the season finale of Saturday Night Live over the weekend. Watch her performance below:
6 Wild Moments From Coachella
Coachella 2024’s first weekend came and went with a bang. The famous California Music & Arts Festival had us in shock and awe with amazing special guests throughout the weekend.
During weekend one, big names like Bebe Rexha, Tems, Victoria Monet, Renee Rapp, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Sublime, Vampire Weekend, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, No Doubt, Coi Leray, Grimes, 21 Savage, Lauryn Hill, Taking Back Sunday, Lil Yachty, and many more.
As always, famous faces were in attendance, watching their friends perform and letting loose with the rest of the crowd. Notably, Justin Bieber showed up without his wife, Hailey Bieber, adding to the rumors that their marriage isn’t doing well. Meanwhile, love birds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit up multiple stages, watching from the pit and getting super affectionate.
While folks were expecting perfect shows and wild special guests brought on stage during performances, there were some artists who dropped the ball during their set. Grimes kept fumbling with her mixes during her set. She told the crowd that there has never been a show of hers without a “technical difficulty,” and as she tried to explain to the Coachella crowd, she said, “Don’t blame me because it’s not my fault! Well, it’s partially my fault, but it’s not entirely my fault.” In the “classic Grimes fashion,” the musician added that her songs had been set to a double tempo and had to do “a lot of internal math” to try to get it sorted to play for the patiently waiting crowd.

On social media, however, fans were making fun of her meltdown at the technical difficulties, with users pointing out that this isn’t the first time Grimes has done this at her concerts. Meanwhile, one fan said, “This could be the worst performance in the history of Coachella.” She took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a formal apology to fans. Adding that she “admittedly am not in the best mood atm,” Grimes said her set next week “will be flawless.”
Besides the mishaps, there were plenty of awe-inspiring, wild moments from Coachella’s first weekend.
