This past Sunday, I had the absolute honor of seeing Adele live at Madison Square Garden. I know, I can't believe my sheer luck either. Because being in a room with her (even if there are also thousands of other people) is such a life experience, I'm going to write about my feelings as the night progressed. This way I have a written record of her absolute epicness.

Thought 1: Holy Crap, I'm Actually Here.

I am 100% aware of how absolutely lucky I was to even grab tickets. Working in my favor was the fact that she played MSG 5 times that week, but I assumed since ours was the only weekend show, it might sell out fastest. I got put on hold on Ticketmaster and the time went from 45 minutes down to 17 then back up to 30 and when it finally got down to 2 minutes, it skyrocketed back up. I was flabbergasted when it finally sent me to an actual ticket page after a half hour. So on the day of the show after making my way into the building, I was still kind of in awe that I was even there.

Thought 2: Why Am I Crying?!?

Look, I was fully expecting "Make You Feel My Love" to make me cry. Ever since Lea Michele dedicated it to Cory Monteith on Glee, it always does. Surprise surprise, it didn't this time. Do you want to know what did? HELLO. I'm not even the hugest fan of that song and it was her opener, so I was majorly confused when my eyes welled up. Her voice sounds EXACTLY the same live. That, coupled with the fact that I was still in shock that I was in the same arena as her totally played with my emotions. I even looked at my best friend while it was happening and asked "Why am I crying already?!?" I guess that's just the power of Adele.

Thought 3: She Doesn't Even Need Backup Singers

For some of those songs she didn't use her backup singers and she STILL commanded the room. BUT, that doesn't mean that her backup singers didn't also sound exactly like the cd. It was almost unreal. Even songs that I'm not the fondest of were so rich and really gave me a new appreciation of them.

Thought 4: I'd Pay To Watch Her Talk For Two Hours

Adele is ridiculously funny and she talks a lot. At the top of the show, she apologized because she knew she was going to talk a lot in between songs. Honestly though, it made the whole experience better. She was onstage for 2 hours and 20 minutes and her songs totaled at less than 90 minutes. Her stories were amusing, Directly before one song she said, "Sorry guys, the key change in this one makes me belch," and when she asked for everyone's flashlights on during a song she said, "I see you without your lights on. What're you too posh to hold up your arms for 2 minutes?!?"

Thought 5: Fame Hasn't Gotten To Her Head

She thanked everyone for still being fans and for sticking around even though she had previously cancelled tours in America. She also brought fans on stage and was super sweet and then talked to a 5-year-old in the audience. When she was on a smaller B-stage, she crouched down and let everyone take selfies with her as she moved around the stage. While she was taking pictures she asked from where everyone traveled. While all of those things seem little, it showed what a down-to-Earth, sweet person Adele is even when she is such a phenom.

Thought 6: I Want To Be Her Best Friend!

I don't even really have any witty commentary here, it's just a thought that I had many times in the span of 2 hours. Adele just seems like a really awesome friend to have. lol

Thought 7: Did That Really Just Happen?

There are some really epic moments in life when you have to stop, look around, and absorb the fact that the moment is actually happening. This was one of those times for me. Adele live set the bar very very high for any future endeavors that I may have and I marveled in every second of it.
