This sword dance is a type of cultural appreciation that I stan. She took time and actually learn it correctly instead of just swing a sword around like an idiot. It was done artistically and for a purpose. She doesn't just lazily throw in some Asian (I'm this case Chinese) imagery and call it a day.
augusts1 She had surgery to remove fibroid tumors from her uterus. Also not so fun fact, but she was fresh out of surgery when she did the Apple ad and her stitches ripped during the shoot!
If AURORA’s voice is being considered the embodiment of winter than FKA Twig’s is basically Autumn. It’s chilling and constantly shifting. Absolutely mesmerizing to watch

@@Gaudine Oh geezus. SMH. It's still ok to say Roman despite that info. Few peeps even know that detail (or care)! She still resembles Roman or Greek goddesses.
@@StarlenaSterling I don't get it, either. Why would I think "Sis... I'm-"? It's some kind of dumb meme / how kids talk these days because apparently saying "sis" & not finishing sentences is "cool" & "trendy".
@@solongsuicide9 hahahahah damn you sound old...EVERY generation has that, just because you're out of touch with popular youth culture doesn't mean it's silly.

twigs is just like...you know what I think pole dancing would look really good in that video? lemme learn that real quick. you know what else, I really fancy those sword dances, quite a bit, lemme just learn that, too.
I listened to Mary Magdalene sometime ago, and then I was wondering how it would be to see and listen her in live, it feels so mythical. And those sword moves were amazing.
@@zoelastname4753 Rinas music isn’t bad but it’s not very original at all. Grimes has an original sound and has had far more influence over music than Rina.
I wanted this record to be recognized so bad, but I guess it's the Scammys' loss. This is a timeless gem that I'll be revisiting in decades. Yes, decades.
yes Lilith is the original woman before Eve she is the kundalini sexual Snake energy in the Tree of Life telling the man-made creature Eve to think for herself and Eve did which created free will a good thing, she is also the God's left hand side and she holds the revolving sword that guards paradise.
Her performance is unmatched in today's form of what is music. Her seed has been planted in our minds and souls. Our desire for more of her music will only water her energy to produce music to move us. Never come here to the U.S. Here they will rip her from the ground put her in a vase and watch her wither. Stay where you are FKA so that we here in the U.S will beg you for more. In my 50's now and I just found her music. Her style reminds me so much of Kate Bush. Blessings always FKA
This wushu goddess is such an inspiration. Imagine have the skill to pull off this calibre performance amd Imagine being able to focus like this while you're dealing with some of the most heinous stuff imaginable in your private life and not even faltering. I have know idea how she did and I hope she's doing OK and healing well. FKA Twigs is a gift.
FKA twigs' movements and aura as a being are otherworldly. She truly brings something beautifully unique to the musical world, love and am mesmerized by it
There's a great juxtaposition between her seductive movements in the first half and her warrior goddess sword dance after she sings "You didn't hear me".
FKA Twigs is truly a Jack of all trades and a master of All trades as well. She never half a** does anything she undertakes to accomplish. She is truly amazing!!
I'm from France and i discovered FKA Twigs about 5 years ago and i can't stop admiring this amazing artist. She is unique and that's what i truly love. She is wonderful ! She's a queen fallen from an other galaxy. Perfect performance 👏
Cuando me preguntan por ARTE, no puedo dejar de pensar en FKA twigs y lo talentosa que es!! amo todas y cada una de sus canciones, sus letras, hooo Dios es única!!!
@@angelicaterry3367 Umm no... it implies that she can sing like a diva, dance like a ballerina, write music like Shakespeare and even use a sword like a martial artist...
She is so incredibly talented. Highly creative, beautiful dance and her voice is other worldly! What a experience it must be to see her entire show. Madd respect Twigs!!
I fucking love her. From her music, to her sound, to her dancing and artistry, everything. She puts all her dedication and passion to her performances and it shows.
this was a Grammys performance that she just did
Simmm! 😍
I hope she gets a chance to perform at the Grammys next year
Honestly if the Grammys didn't invite her to do a performance and let her do that sword performance or the pole dance they can fuck themselves.
Emanuel Fernandes I totally agree!!!
Gabriel The Grammy’s fuck themselves every year - they’re such a monumental disaster that I can’t watch them without getting incandescent
If she starts a cult i´ll join. No questions asked.
we had a glimpse of her cult in Home with You so be prepare lol
She's already started a cult. The cult of FKA Twigs. We're part of it!
Aren't we kind of part of one already?
666th like!!
Can i say Amen?
The wet dress, the makeup, the dance, her voice, her, and then lights, camera work, musicians, all of it it just makes a different world
Marshay Collins the sword.

One of the greatest performances of our generation

Wushu is for everyone.
Actual people in Japan never seem to care and love it, just americans seem to care and reeeeeeee, who want to vitrue signal.
Is anyone gonna talk about how ripped fka twigs is.
The fact that she’s so physical after her operation is just mind-blowing. She is amazing
I was just looking at her physique like hoooly fuck she must be strong as shit
All muscle, babe!!
@@worrywirt what type of operation did she have?

Too good for this universe
@PurelyAfrican She'll protect herself using that big ass sword lol.
If you're ever in danger: whisper mary magdalene 3 times and twigs will dance along and slice that threat right up
😂 o you made me laugh
I believe that.

She is actually a professional dancer. Check out her social media.
@@ohjemima5100 i know :D did you watch the making of cellophane? its very insightful imo
@@ediapaff8858 not yet, thanks for the tip
That’s not a dance, it’s a fighting form , that’s how the Chinese kicked out the Japanese out of Korea
@@Reprodestruxion pole dancing?
she’s not even an artist anymore. She’s a walking art piece. So fucking talented Jesus
if her and sevdaliza released a song together i'd probably combust
lily v same
Mee
Not heard of Sevdaliza. Listening now. Thanks.
I’ll just go crazy tbh
Yep, I so wish they'd do a collaboration!
This is easily one her best songs. The power, vocals and performance is unreal
My eyes got tears when she started the sword dance. This is beyond art
She scares and fascinates me all at the same time
She does, doesn't she?! :-))
The Sword Dance at the end killed me... This is ART
This is my favourite song from the record. Something about this song draws me in into its own world.
C T can i know your second fave?
@@iceprincess1869 Home with you, I think, at least for now
Day Bed for me.
I can't even choose. My favourite album of all time for sure.
I listened to Mary Magdalene sometime ago, and then I was wondering how it would be to see and listen her in live, it feels so mythical. And those sword moves were amazing.
Actually the whole choreography was amazing, the whole perfomance, everything was!!
She's such a mesmerising performer and artist.
i want Bjork, Grimes, Janelle Monae, and FKA Twigs on the same stage -- *i don't care what they do*
nooo grimes could never do what they do. rina sawayama more like.
they could literally all just stand there and id probably cry
@@zoelastname4753 leave grimes alone
@@zoelastname4753 Rinas music isn’t bad but it’s not very original at all. Grimes has an original sound and has had far more influence over music than Rina.
and Sevdaliza!
i fu cking love harry and fka twigs THE FACT THAT HARRY WAS JUST STANDING THERE WHILE SHE WAS BEING THE MOST ICONIC CREATURE IM WEAKKKKKKKKKK
I can't believe FKA Twigs invented swords
Queen of wrappers also invented cellophane AND sad days. Ugh is there anything she can't do?
@@acerowoodberry1236 She invented lights and then made them turn on, like she's the greatest inventor of our time
well she invented Mary Magdalene herself along with aliens and hearts
I wanted this record to be recognized so bad, but I guess it's the Scammys' loss. This is a timeless gem that I'll be revisiting in decades. Yes, decades.
The sword’s name is Lilith btw
yes Lilith is the original woman before Eve she is the kundalini sexual Snake energy in the Tree of Life telling the man-made creature Eve to think for herself and Eve did which created free will a good thing, she is also the God's left hand side and she holds the revolving sword that guards paradise.
Great analogy , I respect that but she's holding a chinese wushu sword for that dance , and it's martial art based
@@taragreenetarotastro is this gnostic?
@@walterwyte3546 no the swords name is literally Lilith
okay im a stan now, she's epic.
I’m wondering if the opening lyrics “a woman’s work” is a nod to the Kate Bush song, I know she draws a lot of comparisons stylistically...
Yeah, the album has a lot of Kate Budh references
She is very similar in the sense that they both incorporate different arts into their music. Theatre, dance, ect. It’s so cool!
Yea! Lots of Kate Bush vibes. In “home with you” there’s a line about running back DOWN a hill to be with someone
maybe, Kate Bush is dope as fuck
ricochetpig doesn’t anyone hear the way she sings the bridge like kate bush?
she is serving everything
She's walking art.
Every time she performs its like watching living art.
A pure original.

Perfect performance 👏
What's your fav fka twigs album/EP ? :)
Not watched this for a few years now, but still one of the most powerful and beautiful performances I have ever seen.
I know this is very cheesy but I literally started crying at 0.47 . Her voice is angelic
I love her eyebrows. Primal and motherly at the same time
Her performances are 🔥 her style she definitely makes it her own an she has a variety how she expresses her song an dance together gracefully 👏👏💯
I cant take this level of perfection. Cant wait to see her on Monday!
you're in for such a treat
I'll be there too!
Me too .. can't wait to see her 😍
What about Lucinda Chua? She really brought something to the performance.
Thank you for letting me know exactly what I was looking for!
Cuando me preguntan por ARTE, no puedo dejar de pensar en FKA twigs y lo talentosa que es!! amo todas y cada una de sus canciones, sus letras, hooo Dios es única!!!
totalmente, el talento de esta mujer es de otro planeta 🖤
In one show she upstaged Sir Tom, Noel and Harry's nail varnish. That was unreal, amazing performance
I keep coming back to this, I don't know why.
FKA Twigs and Grimes have brought some of the best moments of musical beauty and innovation in the last 10 years!
she is unreal this era. just wow.
The zircon-encrusted in-ear monitors are a nice touch... Just sayin'...
flashythingme nice? AMAZING !
I can't deal with her. I always fall in love when I see her perform
that backup singer/cellist though
This is late but that’s Lucinda Chua
She's really a jack of all trades isn't she...
That implies she masters nothing, and that's so far from the truth, it's jarring.

The sword dance left me in awe
Seeing her perform here in Chicago was the best part of 2019 for mee 🥺❤️
The fact that this has been out for three days and I’m just now seeing it. Someone take my Stan Card 🥴😂
THIS IS BEYOND PERFECTION. I GOT CHILLS ALLOVER. LOVE U FKATWIGSSSSS
FKA + Lilith = elegance and fierce performance 💖👏🏽👏🏽
Reminds me of Kate bush
React to a song of hers!
Yeah, true
She reminds me of Kate bush a lot in this

My mouth dropped open for a solid minute in genuine awe... Never happened to me before... I want to worship her
At 3:05 the talent was like aight imma head out
gotta get my sword
Oh woah so you’re telling me I’m allowed to watch this for free?
I truly believe that this song is one of the greatest songs ever created
this is what you call a Performance. Bravo!!!!!
she is so ethereal
she’s literally a walking goddess ✨😩
She slayed this performance, thanks Jools Holland for giving another TRUE artist the exposure otherwise I would have not known about. She is 🔥🔥🔥
WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STAN.
she even blinks in sync with the music
I fucking love her. From her music, to her sound, to her dancing and artistry, everything. She puts all her dedication and passion to her performances and it shows.
this has to be one of the most beautiful things i've ever experienced
The swords dance tho!!!!
I can't think of such a strong (and I mean strong) concept artist who does the whole package herself. She is really talented. May her star burn long.
Never was there a woman so perfect and then there was twigs!!!
I'm glad we all collectively agree that FKA TWIGS is a living breathing goddess
Fka twigs is the autumn
Aurora is winter
Lana is summer
Spring is arca
Yes! Couldn't of said it better myself.
@@MoonlightBrillance thank you 😁
One of the best performances I´ve ever seen, absolutly artisticly gorgeous in all senses.
Very impressive; a major artist imo.
Fka twigs from her voice, to the song, to the visuals are so fucking good. and omg her earrings are referring to Mary Magdalene too, that's so cool.
Such incredibly graceful movements with the sword. Very impressive and elegant. And there's the voice too! Beautiful performer.
So self secure
So elegant
So atractive
So lethal
So perfect
It almost hurts just to look at you
Because I cannot reach you
The overall artistry!!! Truly mesmerising in every way
the perfect voice and physique I-
...want to worship her? (and stuff)
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Icónica, artística, reina
Stunning performance. Doing what BBC Music and Jools Holland do best and give artists a platform.
She is so unique , and literally a godess. I could watch her for days and not get tired x
