Nelly Furtado’s Surprise Comeback: New Music Teaser, World Tour Rumors, and Everything Fans Need to Know

Pop icon Nelly Furtado turned Manchester Pride into a runway of empowerment last night, stepping on-stage in an oversized T-shirt emblazoned with a cartoon hourglass figure dressed in a crop top and denim mini-skirt, plus the cheeky belt slogan “Whoa Nelly” that nods to her 2000 debut album. The back of the shirt read “Better Than Ever,” a direct plug for the self-love anthem from her 2024 LP “7,” and her knee-high rainbow boots carried the same phrase—making her fashion a billboard for body-positivity as much as a festival look. At 46, the Canadian singer has spent the summer embracing bold silhouettes, from ruffled hot-pants in Cornwall’s Boardmasters Festival to a Stella Xingyi denim bra at Oxfordshire’s Big Feastival. Subhead: A viral clap-back at body-shamers Furtado’s outfit was a pointed response to recent online chatter about her curves. In January she told Instagram followers she has “never had any face or body surgeries… so far, I have not had any face or lip injections or fillers of any kind,” urging fans to “have a body-neutral 2025” while celebrating individuality. The Pride performance doubled down on that message, drawing thousands of supportive comments within hours: “Thanks for showing the ’80s-born babes how to get older and still be awesome,” one fan wrote. Subhead: Momentum behind new music and UK/EU dates The “I’m Like a Bird” singer has been quietly building a comeback since dropping “7,” her first studio album in seven years. Streaming spikes followed TikTok dance challenges for the Latin-infused single “Corazón Salvaje,” while festival crowds have rediscovered earlier hits like “Promiscuous” and “Say It Right.” Furtado recently teased more studio sessions on Instagram stories and confirmed she will “glow with you” on a 2025 European tour, with Leeds, Barcelona and Berlin already sold out according to promoters. Subhead: Why search interest is exploding • Fresh headline moments at three major UK festivals in one month. • Viral Pride footage showcasing a sartorial clap-back that resonates with body-positivity searches. • Anticipation of a full tour and rumoured deluxe edition of “7,” fueling “Nelly Furtado new music 2025” queries. Subhead: What’s next Label insiders hint at a fall single titled “Glow Up” featuring an Afro-beat collaboration, aligning with her recent genre-blending experiments. Meanwhile, merch inspired by the Manchester Pride shirt is expected online within days, potentially extending the social buzz through unboxing videos and fan OOTDs. With festival triumphs, a punchy stance against body-shaming and new music on the horizon, Nelly Furtado’s 2025 renaissance shows no signs of slowing—proof that two decades after “Whoa, Nelly!” the singer is indeed “Better Than Ever.”
