There is no doubt that Adele is back and better than ever. In fact, there is a new rumor that says her chart-topping counterparts like Taylor Swift might be breaking under pressure, as the "Bad Blood" singer has mostly "gone dark" ever since Adele's latest studio offering, 25 has blown away the competition by selling over 3.3 million copies in just one week.

According to the popular gossip blog Celebitchy, the usually active social media user has barely used her Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts ever since Adele hit the scene by doing the media rounds to promote her album. In fact, she's also failed to show up at scheduled events, sparking rumors that she might be jealous or having a bit of a breakdown because of Adele's success.

The Daily Mail also claimed that Swift was supposed to appear at an Aussie music awards show but canceled at the last minute. Allegedly, she was supposed to do a red-carpet interview with a famous Aussie blogger, but sources say she changed her mind without giving any prior notice.

What's more, both her fans and critics have noticed this unexpected behavior by Swift, as they've commented with, "Maybe she knows she can't possibly compete with Adele so she backed off the publicity blitz, instead of being the '....and in other news' segment. Only the #1 spot will do." Another said, "Maybe she's being taught the lessons of over exposure, that less is more. Just sit back and enjoy the silence of her hiatus from social media. It won't last long."

Another critic wrote, "Swiftly leave the limelight- do pigs fly! She lives for the attention and praise so am going with the 'she's pissed at Adele's v successful return'. No one is fawning over her anymore and that's gotta hurt."

So far, Swift herself has not commented on any of the allegations.
