Last night, Adele kicked off the North American leg of her world tour at Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Xcel Energy Center. Following her set, she left the stage and projected Prince’s music video for “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” on a big screen, Entertainment Weekly reports. After it played, she came back and asked the crowd, “Did you enjoy that Prince video?” She told them, “I did consider covering a song, but then I was like, ‘Fuck It, it’s Prince!’” See clips and photos below.
