Star singer Adele is doing a residence at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace here in Las Vegas, and many football fans took in her Friday night show.

Adele, who has had hits like “Rolling In The Deep” and “Someone Like You,” took a moment to see how many Chiefs and 49ers supporters were in the audience.

“Sorry Chiefs, you’re outnumbered tonight,” Adele said. “But don’t worry, this is a big loving, loving show.”

That’s when Eagles center Jason Kelce screamed out: “EAGLES!”

Adele didn’t miss a beat, responding: “You sound drunk and like you’re a football fan.”

Kelce was at the concert with his wife, Kylie, and at one point fans saw him singing along to “Someone Like You.”

Music has always been a passion for Kelce, who played saxophone in high school, and he has joined Eagles teammates in recording a pair of Christmas records for charity.

Last year’s album included a song with his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. On Sunday, Jason Kelce and much of the crowd at Adele’s show will be at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII.
