WATCH: "You can enjoy it in real life." – @Adele shuts down a fan filming at her concert: https://t.co/9ybAVQyOCMhttps://t.co/3NNZ7zgan2— Good Morning America (@GMA) May 31, 2016
If you’ve ever attended a political rally, you know it takes a long time to get things started. And no candidate wants to walk out to a “cold” audience. So, it’s common for campaigns to play songs they feel will not only represent their message but rev up the crowd.
Sometimes, though, music artists aren’t so happy to hear their music used by a political candidate.
You can list Adele among those folks.
The Trump campaign has been mixing in some Rolling In The Deep from Adele at campaign events based on the lyric “we could have had it all.”
Trump has also utilized the singer’s Skyfall, I’m guessing due to the lines “when it crumbles, we will stand tall, face it all together.”
But Adele fans aren’t happy and have voiced their opinions on social media:
Noooooo!! Not Adele!! Must Trump ruin that too?! https://t.co/3CEbjlubpK— Samantha (@JaSaMorgan) January 26, 2016

Adele has now issued a statement saying she has never endorsed Trump’s use of her music.
A spokesman for Adele issued this: “Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning.”
James Corden is hysterical (as always) and Adele is so very charming. Fun clip.
James Corden shares a sneak peek at his next guest who will be joining him for some “Carpool Karaoke” – Adele!
The full fun will air Wednesday night, but we get this advance clip to enjoy.
Previous “carpoolers” include Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson and One Direction.
Corden is killing it on The Late Late Show.
Celine Dion gave her New Year’s Eve audience in Las Vegas a special treat when she covered Adele’s megahit “Hello.”
Postmodern Jukebox teams up with Maiya Sykes for a fantastic 1969 style/Aretha Franklin inspired rendition of the current #1 song in the country, “Hello” by Adele.
Fantastic. The arrangement is spot on and Maiya’s vocals are killer.
You can find the track on iTunes here.
