Adele, you didn't have to be so generous tonight!

While the biggest names in music are receiving wonderful gifts in the form of Billboard Music Awards Sunday evening, the "Hello" singer decided to turn the tables and present a special treat to her fans around the world.

After Adele won the award for Top Billboard 200 Album, viewers got to see the official music video for "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)."

"Send my love to your new lover/Treat her better/We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts," Adele sang in the third single off her album 25. "We both know we ain't kids no more/Send my love to your new lover/Treat her better."

The video was shot in London and directed by Patrick Daughters who previously worked with talented musicians including Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol, KT Tunstall and Beck.

And while the singer wasn't able to introduce the music video in person Sunday evening, she had a pretty good excuse.

The proud mom is currently in the midst of a sold-out tour in Europe, which ultimately wraps June 15. Adele will then kick off the North American portion of her tour in Minneapolis on July 5. Word to the wise: If you haven't obtained your tickets already, good luck finding any.

For those fortunate enough to receive a seat for the highly anticipated tour, chances are you're in for plenty of surprises. Whether twerking for lucky fans or helping audience members get engaged, Adele knows how to make every show memorable for all the right reasons. She is Adele, after all.
