FKA Twigs clears visa drama as she hits stage at star-studded GITANO NYC opening

FKA Twigs lit up the stage Thursday night at the star-studded grand opening of GITANO NYC, marking her first U.S. appearance since canceling tour dates over visa issues.

The British sensation, looking ultra-glam in a sleek, formfitting gown, wowed the crowd — which included Chloë Sevigny, Luann de Lesseps, and Adam Lambert — with her signature sultry vocals and magnetic stage presence. 

The ultra-chic venue, complete with New York’s largest disco ball imported from Mexico City, set the perfect backdrop for the dazzling night.

Twigs later posed for pH๏τos alongside Sevigny, Lambert, and GITANO founder and CEO James Gardner, cementing her spot as the evening’s main attraction.

Adding even more heat to the night, the party featured a fiery cabaret set from Violet Chachki and performances by Gitano Tulum dancers, plus DJ sets from Tom & Collins and Amber Valentine.

The jaw-dropping comeback comes after Twigs was forced to axe her North American tour when a production team blunder left her without a U.S. work visa.

She had called the tour ‘challenging’ behind the scenes, which led to the string of cancellations and postponed shows. 

The ‘heartbroken’ singer, 37, announced she’s been forced to back out of her shows in Chicago, Toronto and New York because the ‘correct paperwork’ wasn’t filed.

In a video posted on X, she explained: ‘Hi everyone, I wanted to come on here to talk to you and address some things that have been happening behind the scenes in my world.

‘Behind the scenes practically with production and the more practical side of putting this tour together so today I was informed that production did not fill out the correct paperwork in a timely manner to have our visas to come for the USA to perform. 

‘I don’t take this lightly, I am completely devastated to be honest with you, I am heartbroken.’ 

‘So with that being said, I will be rescheduling these shows and information will be coming on that very shortly. I can’t wait to bring EuSєxua to you, it’s truly been one of the greatest achievements of my life.’ 

FKA twigs was due to perform in Chicago, Illinois on March 26 and in Toronto, Canada on March 30 which would have been followed by two shows in New York on April 3 and 4.

In January, FKA twigs opened up on what inspired her album EUSєxUA – and the ‘healing programme’ she created alongside it.

Adding even more heat to the night, the party featured a fiery cabaret set from Violet Chachki and performances by Gitano Tulum dancers, plus DJ sets from Tom & Collins and Amber Valentine

She appeared on the latest episode of Spotify’s Countdown To podcast series, where she was interviewed by legendary singer-songwriter Imogen Heap.

Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, shared her insights into the album’s origins and what the word means to her, ahead of its January 24 release.

Along with the coining of the term EUSєxUA, FKA twigs has created THE ELEVEN: eleven pillars of movement, designed to be a form of self-healing, every one being informed by her lifelong study of movement as a dancer.

Describing the album, the singer said: ‘EUSєxUA is really this mixture of slightly psychadelic, childlike, playful exploration of what it is to be human. But then mixed with that, this raw, dirty, hard, Sєxual grit as an undertone.’
