All the Clues
Adele might have shocked the world with the teaser trailer, but fans had figured something was coming. Tweeting, “Hiya babes!” Monday in her grand return to the social media platform, the “Rolling in the Deep” artist also changed the profile picture and background on all her social media to a teal blue backdrop. Even the official Twitter account couldn’t believe her return, which came amid a complete Instagram and Facebook outage.ย
’30’
Clues date back to this weekend, when billboards featuring the number ’30’ popped up around the world in the exact same shade of teal Adele posted on her social media. Adele’s past album titles have all been labeled with the ages in which she worked on them, so the number raised eyebrows among her fans. The “Set Fire to the Rain” artist is currently 33, but called it quits with husband Simon Konecki three years ago. The two share 8-year-old son Angelo.
