Nelly Furtado was all smiles as she put on a leggy display at Boardmasters Festival in Cornwall on Saturday. 

The I’m Like a Bird hitmaker, 47, looked incredible in a pair of ruffled khaki hotpants that she paired with a green wrap-around top and scarf. 

She switched up the colour of the outfit with her choice of white cowboy boots, which were on full display as she strutted her stuff on stage. 

Accessorising with a pair of tinted black-green sunglasses and several pieces of statement jewellery, the star looked like she was having the time of her life. 

While the singer’s setlist from the performance has not yet been publicly available, she has recently performed hits including Say It Right, Maneater, I’m Like a Bird and All Good Things (Come to an End). 

The singer is one of several big-name acts performing at Boardmasters Festival including The Prodigy, who are set to headline on Sunday night.

Nelly’s confident display at the Cornish music festival comes after she opened up about being in an abusive relationship with an undisclosed partner in the past. 

She described the dynamic as ‘toxic’ and said that ‘fear’ and ‘love’ can trap a person in a troubled relationship. 

The singer said you ‘don’t tell your friends the truth about what’s going on in your life.’ 

Nelly also maintained that ‘as women I think we tend to sacrifice our happiness sometimes’ after falling ‘in love’ with someone.

‘I went through a very difficult time where I think I accepted some things that I would never accept now, in terms of the way you’re treated,’ she said on the Call Her Daddy podcast. 

‘You cannot see it at all when you’re in it, and sometimes we just love so hard, and we love,’ added the I’m Like A Bird hitmaker.

‘And I’m sure there’s women out there too, you know, when we become mothers – we’re quite vulnerable when we become mothers, because we want what’s best for our kids and we wanna protect them,’ she added.

Nelly is a mother of three – she shares her daughter Nevis, 21, with her ex-boyfriend Jasper Gahunia, as well as two other children, a son and a daughter whose names she has not disclosed with the rapper Jerry aka Gerard Damien Long.

Nelly’s 2006 album, Loose, was a smash hit with tracks including Maneater and Afraid

The Canadian singer and songwriter has always had a penchant for green, as pictured here at the height of her fame in 2006

In between her relationships with the fathers of her children, she was married to sound engineer Demacio Castellon from 2008 to 2016. 

‘And I think that in general I’ll say that it can really happen to anybody, feeling powerless, you know what I mean?’ said Furtado on Call Her Daddy.

‘You could have all the money in the world and all the resources, but in the mind, really that is your only wealth is in your mind.’

She argued that someone who ‘can’t feel strong enough and clear enough’ might have difficulty exiting ‘a situation that might be toxic for you and not the best for you, and also abusive in any way.’

Furtado’s advice ‘to ladies out there’ is that the ‘people that are telling you what you don’t wanna hear, those are the ones you need to keep close. Hopefully they know you well enough to not repel you with judgement or anything like that.’
