To celebrate her 30th birthday, Adele threw a party themed around one of her favorite movies: Titanic. But some fans thought throwing a party based on a real-life tragedy may not have been the most tasteful move.

Dirty 30! I’m not sure what I’m going to do for the next 30 years as I’ve been blessed beyond words in my life so far. Thank you to everyone for coming along for the ride the last 11 years with me. My family and friends for entertaining my super fandom of the Titanic movie. Last night was the best night of my life. Here’s a couple pics. I’m absolutely fucked, not sure I’ll make it out the house again! Ps Childish Gambino how the hell do you have time to offer us so much greatness on so many platforms. I adore you x

Adele shared photos of the shindig Monday on Instagram, noting the party was to celebrate her “super fandom of the Titanic movie.” She dressed up as Kate Winslet’s character, Rose, and she and other guests danced while wearing life jackets. Other guests reportedly included British celebrities and music-industry vets, including Alan Carr, Zane Lowe, and Mark Ronson, plus Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul and his wife, Lauren.

Cold Blooded.

Many fans thought the idea was hilarious and a fitting tribute to the James Cameron movie. After all, Adele has frequently thrown movie-themed parties, and this is just the latest in a string of movie homages.

But others weren’t so thrilled, saying it isn’t exactly funny to throw a party based on a massive tragedy where many people died. A total of 1,503 people died when the Titanic sunk on its maiden voyage in 1912.

This ended up starting a debate on social media, with fans telling those offended to simply lighten up.

Either way, it’s clear Adele’s passion for Titanic knows no bounds. Back in January, she met Celine Dion while wearing a shirt emblazoned with her face - and the ship.

I had a pretty rough time during the last couple of weeks...a lot of people have been hit with cold and flu bugs... but I'm doing much better now. Wasn't able to do all my shows, but was thrilled that Adele came to one of them.... I love her so much!! // Les deux dernières semaines ont été difficiles pour moi. Nous avons été plusieurs à être affectés par le rhume ou la grippe, mais sachez que je vais beaucoup mieux maintenant. Je n’ai pas été en mesure de monter sur scène pour tous mes spectacles, mais je suis ravie qu'Adele ait pu venir assister à l’un d’eux… Je l’aime tellement !! - Céline xx… 📸 : Cashman
