The singer-songwriter is on a roll, shrugging off haters following her MTV Video Music Award performance and rejecting R&B icon Usher’s invitation to dance. She is now preparing to walk the Victoria Secret Fashion Show runway for a performance.
Tyla has been announced as the musical headliner for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which will return after a six-year break in 2024.
The Grammy Award-winning singer will take the stage alongside icons like Tyra Banks, Paloma Elsesser, Gigi Hadid, and many other top models who will walk the runway.
According to Rolling Stone, Victoria’s Secret chose Tyla for her “vibrant personality” as well as her “innovative take on pop and R&B”, hailing her as a “integral” part of the entertainment, glamour, and fashion for their 2024 show.
“Growing up, I was captivated by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show-the stunning outfits, iconic wings, and charismatic models. Now I’m thrilled to be performing on this nostalgic and legendary stage.
“What’s even more exciting is the celebration of diversity, showcasing a broader range of beauty, which makes this moment truly special,” Tyla said in a statement.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will return on October 15, after a brief break amid criticism from the public in 2018 for its lack of inclusivity and promotion of unrealistic beauty standards.
