Share

Everyone knew songstress Adele had the power to snatch wigs, ruin careers and jerk tears. But who knew she could save us all from those horrible family conversations over turkey and candied yams on Thanksgiving?

Just thank the folks over at “Saturday Night Live” who revealed the British artist’s hidden talent in a skit Saturday night titled “A Thanksgiving Miracle.”

The weekend show, hosted by actor Matthew McConaughey with Adele as musical guest, staged a sketch many know too well from their own lives.

bickers over everything socio-political from Syrian refugees and ISIS to transgender people and Black Lives Matter activists. The only thing that silences them and brings the family together is Adele’s “Hello,” playing on a CD player nearby.

Many took to social media to share their love of the skit.

Now only if she could get my grandmother to upgrade from that flip phone.

The singer, whose album emotion-filled “25” is slated to break sales records despite not being on streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, performed her second single during the show. Check out “When We Were Young” below:
