Di-hard icon insists show must go on
Motown star won’t cancel gigs Taylor’s no
Fashion guru
seems to be sporting a shocking new lockdown look... casual.
The tight-fitting high-fashion outfits have been replaced by blue jeans and plain Breton sweaters, like your average middle-aged mum would wear to do the supermarket run.
Of course, the trademark sunglasses are still in place, but Anna wearing denim? Surely that’s not in Vogue!
I was performing last year in a lovely tight dress. I get quite energetic and jump around a lot. During one song, my backing vocalist was giving me weird looks – turns out I’d stood in front of a few thousand people with my left breast on show.
I was in an airport arrivals hall once and ended up dropping my bag. Out flew the contents, including some colouring pens. I heard an Irish accent say: “Oh look, she’s dropped her Crayolas.” It was Danny from

“She plans for a doctor and team of medical experts to travel with her and her entourage. Her crew will travel by a private plane to avoid risks. Promoters and her team are monitoring the ongoing situation as the safety of her fans is of paramount importance.”
