It may have been Adele's birthday this week, but she got the rest of us a gift with a stunning return to Instagram.
The "Hello" singer on Wednesday dropped her first Instagram post in almost five months, thanking the world for the well wishes after her birthday on Tuesday and offering a message of support for first responders and essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
"You are truly our angels," she wrote, pretty much summing up how we all feel about the year at this point by adding, "2020 okay bye thanks x."

Adele also showed off her dramatic weight loss, looking almost unrecognizable in the photo. It not only had many, many people comparing her to Sarah Paulson, but also tons of celebrities freaking out in the comments.
"I mean are you kidding me," Chrissy Teigen wrote. "Looking gorgeous!" said Rita Wilson. Even Oprah Magazine chimed in, writing, "Our birthday gift should be an Adele 2020 album, yes?!" Sounds good to us.
