2020 is definitely Adele‘s year! The 32-year-old singer has been looking seriously better than ever, and once again just slayed in a fitted velvet top in a promo for Saturday Night Live. Standing on the Studio 8H stage alongside musical guest H.E.R., 23, and cast member Kate McKinnon, 36, Adele looked incredible as she showed off her dramatic 100 pound weight loss!
The purple button down was fitted along her torso, and was more than flattering on-camera. “Hi, I’m Adele and I’m hosting SNL this week with musical guest H.E.R.,” she said as Kate got confused. “Wait, her or her?” Kate questioned, as H.E.R. — née Gabriella Wilson — also seemed to get mixed up. “It is I who will be musical guest this week,” Kate joked as Adele teased, “or maybe me!” All three sported protective black face masks for the promo, following SNL‘s strict in-studio COVID-19 rules following their at-home episodes.
Adele is scheduled to make her hosting debut on the NBC sketch series on Oct. 24, and has been hard at work all week. The star took to Instagram to express her excitement about hosting the series for the first time, and was absolutely ecstatic. “Bloooooody hellllll I’m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified! My first ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!!” she gushed on Oct. 18.
“It’ll be almost 12 years to the day that I first appeared on the show, during an election…which went on to break my career in America, so it feels full circle and I just couldn’t possibly say no!” Adele wrote. “I am besides myself that H.E.R will be the musical guest!! I love her SO much I can’t wait to melt into a flaming hot mess when she performs, then confuse myself while I laugh my arse off in between it all.”
It’s been five years since Adele last took to the SNL stage, performing her hits from the smash album, 25. Returning as host is, in fact, a big step for the music superstar, who has admitted to suffering from stage fright throughout her career. Still, recently, Adele shared that she had found some perspective for her ‘soul’ after discovering Glennon Doyle‘s memoir Untamed. “Anyone who has any kind of capacity to truly let go and give into yourself with any kind of desire to hold on for dear life – Do it. Read it. Live it. Practice it. We are a lot!” she wrote on Instagram, while encouraging her fans to read the book.
Here’s looking forward to her epic night on Saturday!
