Tove Lo, an artist who has identified as bisexual, is a champion for all things women and LGBTQ+. From her first big hit “Habits” to her multi-cultural/sexual “Timebomb” to her most recent single “bitches” (stet) featuring guest appearances by Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant and ALMA, Tove Lo is fearless when is comes to speaking her mind and expressing her sexuality through music.

As the duo sang the song’s sensual lyrics, Tove was feeling the moment and spontaneously flashed the audience as she has been known to do. Following the song, Tove replaced her rainbow bra and replaced it with sparkling flower shaped pasties.

I expected Icona Pop to join Tove on stage for a performance of “bitches” as they had performed on the main stage the night before, but it was an added bonus to see the Finnish singer/rapper ALMA join the group on stage as well. The four women knocked “bitches” out of the park, and had everybody in the crowd, LGBTQ and allies alike, fully satisfied, and filled with pride …:
