Successful women like Beyonce, Serena just last week in Vogue US, and Adele are more likely to write their own magazine essays these days — and for good reason. It’s the only way they can guarantee that their main points are in the headlines, and not dead on the editorial floor in a world of clickbait.
Adele doesn’t control her cover story interview with Emma Carmichael in the September 2022 issue of ELLE US. Of course, we don’t know the terms of her exchange with Carmichael and signoffs before the interview went to press. It’s stands as a masterpiece, in AOC’s opinion.
ELLE chose the clickbait quote for IG — and we promise you that it will become big headline, even though Adele shares these thoughts at the end of the ELLE narrative. AOC won’t call it out this minute, feeding it oxygen in an a rich, deeply-personal and articulate interview that is primary about Adele as an artist, her relationship with fans, the agony of walking away from her Las Vegas residency in 2021, days before its launch.

“This shoot was all about movement…a first for me to be working on set with a movement director. I started at the top and enlisted the great @twylatharp_ to help create one of the best fashion stories I’ve had the chance to tell in a long time.”
