The forecaster gained his higher education from Purdue University, learning Meteorology. He is currently based in Houston, Texas, United States. Adam Krueger's latest viral post includes Taylor Swift's Karma. Republic Records released the track on October 21, 2022, and it became the third single from the Midnights album, as per Billboard.
Swift wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Keanu Beats, and Jahaan Sweet. In the viral clip, he showed his viewers how he was jamming to the song in his car, then cut to the same while weather forecasting for the CW39 Houston channel, as per Inside Hook.

The meteorologist made another inclusion of Karma while reporting about expected storms and flooding. He said:
"Now as far as river flooding, there's not much you can do to mitigate that but when it comes to street flooding, the storm drains are crucial, they need to be free of debris. That's why I keep my side of the street clean. So those leaves and acorns don't really get into the storm drains."
Adam made a final reference to the Karma song while reporting on expected wind speeds. He announced:
"There's one last round of rain coming our way, but I think after this wet week we've earned some good karma. In this case, karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend. All week we had to plan our days around the rain but now we can relax. Karma's a relaxing thought, right? The rain is out of here."
