Grammy Award-winning South African sensation Tyla is riding high on her unstoppable success, now adding another major milestone to her rapidly growing list of achievements. The “Water” hitmaker has been announced as one of the headlining performers for the highly anticipated return of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, set for October 15. Joining her on stage are pop culture icons Cher and K-pop superstar Lalisa Manoban (aka Lalalalisa), marking a historic moment as the first all-female musical lineup in the show’s history.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of Tyla’s recent victory at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she took home her first Moon Person for Best Afrobeats—an extraordinary win for African artists making waves on the global stage. Tyla’s rise continues to highlight her influence, blending vibrant Afrobeats rhythms with a fresh, pop-driven sound that has made her one of the most exciting artists to emerge from South Africa in recent years.
Tyla’s inclusion in this star-studded lineup is no surprise, as her innovative fusion of pop, R&B, and Afrobeats has earned her recognition across the globe. Her vibrant personality and infectious sound make her the perfect fit for the entertainment, glamour, and fashion-forward energy that defines this year’s Victoria’s Secret show.
With an A-list guest list spanning fashion, film, music, and art, the night is set to be one of the most iconic and talked-about events of the year. Victoria’s Secret is bringing back its legendary runway show with a bang, and with performers like Tyla at the forefront, it’s clear that the night will be one to remember.
