Yesterday (April 24), Corden recruited the "Easy on Me" singer to take a second spin with him after their first Carpool Karaoke in 2016. The two Brits' final musical ride was an emotional one, as both Adele, 34, and Corden, 44, shed tears as they reminisced on their friendship and his eight years as host of the show.
The clip began with Adele giving Corden his rude awakening by showing up at his Los Angeles house and using a pair of cymbals to get him out of bed. Adele was gorgeous with a glam face and trenchcoat on as she took the reigns as the driver. "I'm actually not a brilliant driver, so…" Adele joked. Corden agreed and played along with her, "I'm well aware of this," he replies. To add more drama to their seemingly dangerous ride, Adele adds, "I also can't sing without closing my eyes. I can't believe I just pulled out of your drive and nearly crashed."

The stars are close friends in real life, and Adele opened up to the host about feeling "a bit nervous" and "obviously very, very sad" that he'll soon be leaving L.A. for their native England with his wife and three children.
The Unprankable Adele
Corden and Adele then reminisced on some of his best guests, which included Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Adele (of course), Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. The duo then recalled a time when Corden failed in trying to prank the singer in an unaired segment. The prank was so elaborate, involving an animatronic bear being flown out from Canada. He even had Gayle King record the fake news story to play for Adele.
What tipped the "unprankable" Adele off was that an assistant spied a hidden camera and told the star immediately. To freak Adele even further, she went downstairs to find a room filled with "every piece of merch that has ever been created of me." After being pushed to her limit, the singer was making her way to leave, and Corden had no choice but to reveal himself.
Reminiscing With Corden
"You're one of my best friends in the whole world. I'm gonna miss you so much," Adele said at the end of the clip before breaking into tears. "I'm just not ready to come back [to England], otherwise I would come back with you." Corden, too, grew emotional toward the end, and assured the Grammy-winning star that their friendship "has nothing to do with distance and time."
During the car ride, Adele also revealed that the first verse of "I Drink Wine" was inspired by a deep conversation she had with Corden in 2020. She called it "some of the best writing I've ever done." Corden was "floored" by how she took their 6-hour conversation into a song. He added that "the greatest privilege" from their honest conversation would create "I Drink Wine."
As their ride came to a close, they both broke down in tears, talking about how much they'd miss one another. "You're on of my best friends in the whole world," a teary-eyed Adele tells Corden, who lightens the mood by reminding her that they will see each other tomorrow. "This is my last-ever time that I'll do this, and it's blown my mind that you've done this for me," he said. "I love you, and we have had the best times here."
The duo sang the following songs during the segment: "Rolling in the Deep," "Love Is a Game," "I Drink Wine," "Don't Rain on My Parade," and "Hometown Glory." Watch the final Carpool Karaoke below:
So, Who Will Play The Super Bowl Halftime Show In 2024?
The Super Bowl is not only the biggest event every year in the sporting world, it's also the biggest entertainment event. Even though the Halftime show is under 15 minutes, it is talked about for months in advance. And if the performance is successful, it'll be talked about for years afterward (and also be the subject of memes: we miss you, Left Shark!). Only the biggest names in music have had the honor to grace the stage: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Aerosmith, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Who, Prince, The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and The Weeknd.
Last year's Super Bowl LVI show took place in Inglewood, California's SoFi Stadium and featured California hip-hop legends Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg with Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. This year, we now know that Rihanna is making her return to music by headlining the show. But that doesn't mean it's too early to talk about who might take the stage for Super Bowl LVIII. Check out our predictions below.
Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks might have made sense in 2023, as she is an Arizona native, born in Phoenix. And she is currently on tour. Stevie is the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and as a solo artist in 2019. More importantly, she's becoming rock's version of Dolly Parton: an icon beloved by all, no matter your generation or what type of music you listen to.
Metallica

Metallica have played Super Bowl-related events but never the main event. In 2016, they performed the night before the Super Bowl in the same city, and in 2021 they performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on the same TV channel directly after the game.
Kane Brown

Kane Brown has been on the rise in country music since 2015. Brown made history at the 2022 VMAs by becoming the first male country artist to perform on the award show. During the broadcast, he performed his latest single, “Grand," which is his most pop-infused song to date. His versatility may have been noticed by Super Bowl organizers.
Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj has never headlined a Super Bowl, though she made a guest appearance at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show in 2012 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was headlined by Madonna, who became the first sole female headliner since Diana Ross in 1996. Minaj joined LMFAO, M.I.A. and CeeLo Green.
Lizzo

2022 has been Lizzo's year, as she has won an Emmy for Best Competition Program for her Amazon Prime series "Lizzo's Watch Out For The Big Grrrls." The singer and rapper's latest album, 'Special' has been a hit, with "About Damn Time" being her biggest hit since her 2019 song “Truth Hurts."
Drake

Drake not having headlined a Super Bowl is pretty crazy. His music is gets the most airplay in Top 40 and Hip-Hop formats, so there is hardly anyone out there especially in the world of sports who wouldn't know who he was.
Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood performed at Super Bowl XLIV back in 2010, but not as a headliner. She gave a powerful performance of the National Anthem in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Harry Styles

If he's not entirely burnt out from his Madison Square Garden residency and 'Don't Worry Darling' press tour and drama, Harry Styles would bring in a lot of younger viewers tuning in on Game Day.
Adele

Though not really a hype woman, Adele's Super Bowl performance would surely sway even the most hardened of football fans to appreciate her amazing singing abilities.
Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny is on his way to beating Drake as one of the most successful male performers in popularity. The Puerto Rican rapper and singer is a well-known fan of wrestling, so him performing at the Super Bowl would be an easy feat.
Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift announced that she would NOT be playing the Super Bowl in 2023, because she's focusing on new music. But she's one of the biggest artists in the world, and she still will be in 2024, and there's no doubt that the NFL would love to have her headline the Halftime show.
