"I don't think you can be a pop artist and cover your eyes,"

Jade Thirlwall turned 33 after a year that included releasing debut album That's Showbiz Baby and sustained LGBTQ+ advocacy. She openly criticises fellow pop stars who avoid political engagement, specifically calling out Matty Healy for refusing to be political. Her BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend solo debut featured a custom AGRO STUDIO look incorporating Trans Pride colours to celebrate trans lives. At Mighty Hoopla she led a pro-trans chant that name-checked JK Rowling and used her set to confront anti-trans sentiment. Her work combines music, fashion, and outspoken allyship to increase visibility and accountability.
