“First of all, I’m not doing the Super Bowl,” Adele told the Staples Center crowd. “I mean, come on, that show is not about music. “That show is not about music, and I don’t dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I said no.” 
 
 Earlier this month, British tabloid newspaper The Sun, reported that the National Football League was eyeing Adele for next year's halftime performance. 1 on the Billboard 200 to date.
– Those tabloid rumors that Super Bowl LI viewers would get a "hello" from Adele at halftime appear to have been unfounded. That according to the singer herself, who on Saturday told concertgoers at LA's Staples Center that she's not doing the Super Bowl. Her explanation as reported by Billboard is pretty great: "I mean, come on, that show is not about music. And I don’t really—I can’t dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I said no." Pepsi and the NFL, however, had a different take on how discussions have gone down.
