After Sabracos and other fans began posting TikTok videos from Las Vegas, members of Adele’s team began connecting them with the singer over FaceTime.
Sabracos posted an update on TikTok after her call with Adele, revealing that the singer had offered to fly her out for her next concert.
In the video, Sabracos can be heard apologising to Adele, to which the the singer replied: “Why are you sorry?”
“Because I feel for you,” Sabracos said, explaining that she understood Adele was doing everything she could over the canceled shows.
According to Sabracos’s update video, Adele consoled her and promised that they would have the opportunity to meet at a later concert.
“You pick a show, I’ll cover one of your passes, I’ll fly you in to see me on-stage and we’ll have a photo together,” the 34-year-old singer told Sabracos.
