In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Thursday, global music sensation Adele acknowledged the impact of her identity on her successful career, citing the advantages that being a white woman in the industry has afforded her.
The Grammy-winning artist spoke openly about the role authenticity played in her journey, stating, "More than anything, it’s just being yourself. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been so lucky with my career — on top of the obvious of me being a white woman in music."
Adele further addressed the unique level of control she has maintained over her trajectory, revealing, "I think people are quite scared of me, and they’ve been like that since I was 18." This assertion sheds light on the singer's assertiveness and the unyielding nature of her artistic vision.
The acclaimed "Hello" singer went on to emphasize her uncompromising stance in decision-making, stating, "I don’t know what it is; I think there’s no room for negotiations when it comes to what I want to do and how I want to do it. And it’s always been like that."
As conversations surrounding privilege and representation continue to shape the narrative in the entertainment industry, Adele's candid acknowledgment provides insight into the complexities faced by artists and the different dynamics that contribute to their success.
