Citing the fact that the event “is not about music,” Adele recently announced during a concert in Los Angeles that she turned down an offer to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. That’s according to Variety, which says rumors had begun popping up over the last week that said the organizers behind the halftime show had been trying as hard as they could to court Adele. Supposedly, the Super Bowl people wanted to avoid a situation like last year’s disappointingly Coldplay-filled halftime show by enlisting a performer with much more “international and age-spanning appeal.”
