The video begins with her looking upset while standing alone with her arms on her hip.

Adele stands in a floral Dolce & Gabbana gown with a black background as she begins to belt out the tune.

While the camera zooms in on her, multiple Adele's appear to the beat of the song.

Throughout the song, she appears multiple times in the same frame - as if you are looking at her through a kaleidoscope.

At one point, as many as five layered images of Adele appear, followed by a trippy display of colors as she twirls in her gown.

The Grammy winner sported pulled back locks, shimmery gold eye makeup and red glossed lips.
