Donning her own angel wings, Tyla delivered a dynamic performance as models strutted down the runway.
This performance, which also featured her chart-topping hit Water, came right after her debut album, Tyla, went gold this week in the US —a monumental achievement for the young artist.
Her performance at the Victoria’s Secret show signifies Tyla’s growing influence and recognition in the global music scene.
In her recent interview with Rolling Stone, she spoke about her journey, noting that her self-titled debut album symbolises confidence and dedication after years of hard work.
“I really wanted to give a statement because I think that shows confidence, and I’m just ready,” she said.
Tyla’s electrifying presence at the show was just one of many highlights, as she continues to captivate audiences around the world.
The deluxe edition of her album, Tyla+, released earlier this month, includes tracks like Shake Ah featuring Tony Duardo, which have further solidified her position in the pop landscape.
Recap of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned in full force, after a six-year hiatus, with a star-studded lineup of performers and models.
Alongside Tyla, Cher and Blackpink’s Lisa headlined the musical performances, while iconic models like Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima made triumphant returns to the runway.
This year’s show, airing live on Amazon Prime Video, aimed to showcase a more inclusive vision for the brand, with the likes of Valentina Sampaio and Alex Consani, both transgender models, gracing the runway.
The fashion show also welcomed new-generation icons like Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin, blending the old and new in an effort to reinvent the brand for contemporary audiences.
While the inclusion was well-received by many, reactions to the overall presentation of the show were mixed, with some fans criticising the show’s production values and the absence of the high-energy spectacle that once defined Victoria’s Secret.
Nonetheless, the return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show signals the brand’s intent to regain its place in the cultural zeitgeist, with Tyla’s powerful performance playing a key role in its revival.
