"Tyla has been announced as the musical headliner for this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show."
The annual promotional event, sponsored by and featuring the lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, marks an epic return on Tuesday, 15 October.
This year's show in New York City will be the first since 2018, promising a night of fashion, glamour and music.
The news is a break from the recent furore surrounding the pop star's 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) blooper a week ago.
After winning the prize in the Best Afrobeats category at the ceremony in the Big Apple, the Water hitmaker set tongues wagging when she joked about the weighty award before asking US rapper Lil Nas X to hold it for her instead.
This sparked the ire of some quarters after she notably landed on US rapper Joe Budden's bashful radar.
A vexed Budden went on an angry rant on his podcast about her apparent stage stunt, even alluding to another pop culture commentator's assessment in which he called Tyla an "entitled uppity African" who was becoming less likeable.
An obnoxious Budden also seemed to slam her for snubbing Usher's attempted grind on her at his show in a now-viral video.
Tyla's VMA milestone saw her become the first SA artist and solo act to win the award after Afrobeats was introduced as a category, adding to a Grammy.
Fans and followers applauded the artist as they congratulated her with a flood of congratulations under the @BuzzingPop mentions.
Briefly News looks at the lit replies.
