Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is returning for the first time since 2019. The news of the show's return was announced by Rolling Stone magazine in an exclusive feature on September 18, 2024. The show itself was announced via a post on Victoria's Secret Show's official Instagram page on May 14, 2024, with the announcement stating:
"We’ve read the comments and heard you. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is [sparkle emoji] BACK [sparkle emoji] and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more! Stay tuned…it only gets more iconic from here."
Tyla to perform alongside Cher and Lisa
The full lineup of the upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has been revealed and the all-female lineup consists of Tyla, Cher, and Lisa respectively. The three artists will perform at the first Victoria's Secret Show since 2019 when it was canceled due to low ratings.
Tyla's upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show performance comes on the heels of the singer's recent win at the MTV Video Music Awards. The singer won the Best Afrobeats award, also titled the Moon Person award for her song Water, which was released as the lead single of her debut album Tyla. The single charted at number 4 on the UK singles chart upon release.
The singer stated in her acceptance speech at the award ceremony:
"The global impact that ‘Water’ has had on the world just proves that African music can be pop music, too. This is just so special, but also bittersweet because I know there’s a tendency to group all African artists under Afrobeats."
The singer continued:
"It’s a thing, and even though Afrobeats has run things and has opened so many doors for us, African music is so diverse. It’s more than just Afrobeats."
