No matter what we’ve faced as a band, music will always be the thing that connects us in sisterhood and friendship.

I have knees as strong as Megan Thee Stallion when it comes to doing a 60-minute set, dipping it low in high heels.

She’s on at 12:15 for anyone who is able to watch
SoonDid she at least say something like "this year" or are we still hoping for sometime in the next decade?
SZA? Blank faces at SZA?

Who steals Wireless every time she plays it and did four nights at The O2 last year?
Then they might learn about an artist that's absolutely killing it in her field, one that probably Coldplay themselves love, one that's sold out 4 nights at the O2 with barely any effort and a follow up Hyde Park show to 60,000 people, one that even Stevie Wonder's a stan of, and one that's absolutely conquering streaming? You're making it sound like she's just some niche artist for black music fans only and she's anything but.Admittedly she has had more hits than I thought, but quite a few of those singles are collaborations and the fact that she is popular at London events like Wireless gives you a clue as to the profile of most of her fanbase. She may be popular with the younger and more diverse music fans, but what about the older, whiter music fans that constitute the overwhelming majority of those who go to Glastonbury?

There's more than enough white music stodge programmed across the main stages at Glastonbury to keep that side of the festival happy. It's tagline has always been the Festival of Contemporary Arts and maybe more of the older demographic that goes to the festival year on year needs to start learning what Contemporary Artists are actually like.
She also instantly sold out arena shows in Manchester, Glasgow, Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam etc etc like any other big pop girl so it's not just London demographics (hmmm) that are fans of her.So you reiterate the fact that she sells out London gigs, but that tells you more about the London demographics rather than her popularity in the wilder world of music fans. And while Glastonbury may feature a wide range of contemporary music, we are talking about headlining the main stages which is a whole different kettle of fish. Main Stage headliners are generally older and/or more established acts. Even in the SZA thread people are saying that she kind of flopped and she wasn't really ready to headline the main stage.

And to prove my point....
"That SZA crowd is one of the lowest I’ve ever seen for a Pyramid Headliner. Wow."
