Watch Adele Charmingly Spot a Mid-Concert Marriage Proposal and Pull the Couple Onstage

“So you’ve been going out longer than I’ve been making music?”

If this whole singing thing doesn’t work out for Adele, the performer can always turn to facilitating marriage proposals—an apparent hobby of hers. Two weeks after bullying a couple into getting engaged in Belfast, the Grammy winner took the stage on Tuesday evening in her hometown of London for the first concert of a six-night residency.

Mid-way through her rendition of “Make You Feel My Love,” Adele stopped singing, pointed to two audience members, and said, “Did you just get engaged?!” Proving her sixth sense—marriage-proposal detection—to be quite adept, the audience members apparently nodded that they had, and Adele warmly told the strangers, “Come up here, you two.”

Chuckling about the excitement she noticed in the crowd during the song, she told the audience, “I thought there was a fight at first! I saw all of the camera-phone lights at first and then I saw arms went up and I saw sweet kissing.”

When the couple made their way onstage, and the woman shyly shielded her face from the crowd, Adele told her, “Oh, I get stage fright, too. Get over it.”

Adele, sweetheart that she is, gave both audience members a big hug. “Did you propose to her?” the singer asked after the male identified himself as Johnny.

When he confirmed this, Adele said, “Thanks for doing that at my show,” genuinely touched.

Next, the singer asked the stagehands to get a close-up of the couple on the stadium screen behind her and asked the couple a few questions, like how long they have been together.

“Twelve and a half years,” the woman said, not that she was counting.

“How did you hear him,” Adele said of the proposal, “with me wailing away?”

“It’s our song,” the woman conceded, starting to cry.

“So you’ve been going out longer than I’ve been making music?” Adele cracked, before telling them, “That was the most beautiful thing I’ve witnessed at one of my shows.”

After offering another congratulations, she cheekily chased them offstage, asking, “Are you going to set a date?”
