Tinashe Is Playing by Her Own Rules

Backstage at BST Hyde Park, the pop star talks about her outstanding performance, new music, and being inspired by Janet Jackson and Beyoncé It was evident that the audience was in for a good time from the second that Tinashe, 30, appeared on the stage of British Summer Time (BST) Hyde Park on Sunday (June 25), in a large flamboyant blue hat and matching two-piece crop top and trousers. It takes a huge level of confidence, bubbly energy, and a good catalogue to win over a British stiff-upper-lip crowd, but with her riotous chart hits such as “All My Friends,” “2 On” and “Bouncin” Tinashe powered through. The Kentucky-born singer didn’t even appear to break a sweat despite a choreography-heavy set.

It's great to see the upcoming Disney princesses looking out for one another, but one does wonder how long this will go on for. Ever since the first teaser trailer of The Little Mermaid was released, racist people have continued to use the hashtag #NotMyAriel, edited Halle’s face to make her look like a white woman, and tried to create theories as to why “historically” Ariel would not have been a Black woman.
