Adele Reminds a Fan That Filters Aren't Reality: "We Don't Look Like That, Darling"

Note to self:don't use filtersaround Adele. Theaward-winning singer-songwritertook a fan by surprise during a concert at her"Weekends with Adele" residencyin Las Vegas when she went to take a selfie with them, but she seemed equally taken aback by a filter on the phone. Ina TikTok videoposted on Nov. 27, Adele was shown walking through the audience and leaning in to smile with one fan in particular, until she noticed her altered appearance. "Oh my God, what have you done to my face?" she said before pulling away. "Woah girl, get that filter off my face!"

Despite her initial reaction, Adele still tentatively returned to the fan, saying, "What's your name, why are you using filters like that?" She kindly added, "We don't look like that darling," before gently pushing the fan's hair back and going on to ask about their favorite memory from when they were younger. "Just Adele coming up to me randomly and making me forget my whole entire existence," the fan,named Jamy G, captioned the video in part.

While this particular filter may have shocked Adele, they're all around, with 80 percent of girls saying they downloaded one or used an app to change the way they looked in photos by age 13, according to 2020 data fromthe Dove Self-Esteem Project．这些过滤器并不有利于我们的心理健康in the long run, withthe Newport Institutepointing to research that shows those who frequently use filters on social media also reporthigher levels of dissatisfactionwith themselves.
