Sigrid on why she doesn't wear make up

Everyone went a little bit mental over Jess Glynne removing her make up on stage at the Brits, and it was a great and empowering moment, but we'd like to take a minute to fly a little Norwegian flag for Sigrid.

We're sure you'll have heard of her before, she's released some amazing songs over the past year including Don't Kill My Vibe, Strangers, High Five and, most recently, Don't Feel Like Crying, but you might not have seen her performing.

I want to have my full focus on my job, which is to sing.

She's often seen on stage rocking jeans and a tshirt, hair tied back, and with no (or very little) make-up on.

She doesn't dislike make-up or getting dressed up, Sigrid just feels like there's a time and a place for it, and while she's on stage, she'd rather just focus on singing than worry about how she looks.

She told Callum Gallacher from The Evening Show:

"I want to have full focus on my job, which is to sing. I love doing photoshoots and dress up and wear make up and all that stuff; I think it's really fun. But everything has its time and when I'm up on stage I don't want to think about it."

Personally, we love the fact that she can go make-up free without making a big deal about it (and yes, we do realise the irony of us making a big deal of it now).

If you want to see Sigrid in make-up-less action, she will be supporting Geroge Ezra when he plays the SSE Hydro, she's also playing TRSNMT in summer, before coming back with her own headline show in November.
