The 46-year-old singer, who is “right” has said a lot to her critics and she didn't speak during her proud performance in Manchester, England on Sunday, August 24.
Photos show that Canadian singer-songwriter appears to respond to negative comments about her weight by wearing an oversized T-shirt with a woman's body on it.
Her white top features a woman's body from her neck to the middle of her thighs.

The painted body is wearing a white cut vest with a black push-up bra underneath. The midsection of the woman is fully visible as the design leads to a painted denim mini skirt.
The faux lady was decorated with a large, messy gold belt with the word “whoa nelly” on the heart-shaped buckle and several necklaces.
As for Furtado, she finished the look with glittering fishnet stockings, pink-free fingerless gloves and a pair of colorful boots below the knee.
The “Maneater” singer seems to have been adjusting among his opponents for a while and instead chooses to focus on self-love.

Earlier this year, she shared a body-positive post on social media and took a selfie of herself while shaking her bright orange bikini.
“Have a neutral 2025, but most importantly, love every inch ♥️,” Furtado wrote in lengthy Instagram captions on January 5.
After pointing out that she had to “take some legal action against the false claims she made online”, the killer of “I’m like a bird” made records to set records “for anyone who cares.”
“I have never had any facial or physical surgery or enhancement except for the veneer lined up on the teeth,” she wrote.
Furtado said the secret to her youthful appearance was that she drank a lot of water and slept on her back.
The Grammy Award winner also shared her photogenic secrets, which included facial tape to “more lift” and “body tape to make the different contours look a bit more”.

“My New Year's 2025 message is free to express yourself, celebrate your personality, and know you can keep in sync with what you see in the mirror, and also want something different. We are all cute little humans who just bounce on the earth, looking for hugs,” she continued in her January 5 post.
In September 2024, Furtado talked specifically to people about how photographers will not only edit her body shape, but also edit her skin color in the early 2000s.

“My skin has olive skin, they will lighten my skin in the photos and keep lowering my hips – they will always cut off in the editorial.”
But Furtado still considers herself a “lucky person” and has a good team around her that shows her how to be confident.
“You have to have that sense of self. I think it's important to browse the industry. You have to listen to the tiny voices inside. It's really important,” she said.
