Little Mix Say They Will 'Twerk When They Want To Twerk' In Empowering Speech at Global Awards 2018

Little Mix are actual queens!

Not just for winning three awards last night at the 2018 Global Awards in London — for Best Song for “Power”, Best Group, and Best British Artist or Group — but for a passionate and empowering speech where they hit back at critics about how they dress.

“It’s obviously quite hard for women in the music industry – it’s also hard for girl groups,” Jade Thirlwall shared on stage. “As a girl band, and as women, we do face a lot of scrutiny all the time whether it’s for the way we look, how much thigh we get out, how we dance, what we sing about…”

She continued, “We just want to say that although one day we hope that does stop, right now we’re really not a**** what people think!”

“We are women, we’ll dress how we want to dress, if we want to do a twerk, we’ll do a twerk!” Jade added. “We will always encourage our fans, especially our female fans, to be themselves and do whatever they want to do with our music, so thank you very much!”
