Her music is approachable, moving and technically impressive enough for chops-loving rockists: there's also a somber quality to Adele's music that signals "grown-up. We might have this conversation about Beyonce, but in a country where a leading presidential candidate can tweet racist disinformation sourced from neo-Nazis , the benefits of Adele's whiteness can't be ignored.
Adele's "21" didn't just have a good first week: it was the top-selling album two years in a row in and , eventually reaching the rare air of 10 million copies. Rushing out another album might've undercut those sales, but Adele took her time, letting "21" snowball. Swift knows this, too: she releases an album every three years, giving each one plenty of space. Those millions of people have been waiting for new Adele music ever since.
