Although Adele has set up shop in Munich for the next month, she has Paris on the brain.
The Grammy Award winner paused the second night of her ‘Adele in Munich‘ residency on Saturday, playing the Olympic women’s 100 meters final on the giant screens at Messe München’s 80,000-seat outdoor arena venue.
“Adele stops her show to watch Sha’Carri Richardson in the 100m Women’s Final at the Olympics!” wrote one fan on X with a clip of the hushed crowd watching the race.
Team USA’s Richardson ultimately took home silver with a time of 10.87, and her teammate Melissa Jefferson claimed bronze with 10.92. It was Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred who won her country’s first gold medal with a time of 10.72.
Adele kicked off her Munich residency on Friday, performing two shows a week until Aug. 31. The venue also features Adele World, an outside experience for ticket holders with a ferris wheel, an authentic English pub and an ‘I Drink Wine’ bar.

After Germany, the 30 artist will return to her ‘Weekends with Adele‘ Las Vegas residency, running from Oct. 25 to Nov. 23. Two years into the residency, Adele said she plans to take a break after the upcoming run of shows.
“I don’t have any plans for new music at all,” she told Germany’s ZDF public broadcast service last month. “I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”
