It cannot be said that Adele uses her Twitter account on a regular basis.
There is exactly one tweet for 2019, a call to vote.
There is also only one tweet for 2020, a reference to her appearance on the show "Saturday Night Live".
Well, in October 2021, the singer published her first tweet of the year: a short video - and within nine hours it was clicked almost eleven million times.
The clip is 21 seconds long, and it is interpreted as the announcement for Adele's new single.
The black and white video shows Adele (with typical cateye eyeliner and long fingernails) inserting a cassette in a car, looking in the rearview mirror, turning up the volume and driving down a country road while sheet music fluttering out of the window and she lets her hand slide through the wind.
In addition, melancholy piano tones can be heard.
At the end the words: "Easy On Me, October 15th" will appear.
Adele also published the video clip on her Instagram account.
There it was accessed 10.3 million times within nine hours.
There has been speculation for a long time that the Oscar and Grammy winner will soon be releasing her new album, which she has been working on for years.
Worldwide, the number 30 was recently projected onto prominent buildings such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum in Rome, but also in Russia, Brazil and the Philippines.
Fans suspected that this is the title of a new album from the superstar.
The singer also adjusted her accounts in social media and changed her profile photo and banner on Twitter a few days ago.
Adele's previous three albums also have a number as their title.
In 2008 the singer released her debut album »19«, named after her age at the time.
It initially received little attention outside the UK.
Her international breakthrough came in 2009 with the single "Chasing Pavements".
In 2011 the album "21" followed, which sold over 30 million times.
In 2015 she released "25", which was also a great success.
Since then, it has become quiet about the now 33-year-old singer - which explains the current hype about the video announcement.
This time Adele could allude to her age in a decisive year for her: When she was 30, the British woman separated from her husband Simon Konecki.
