    • For the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, singer Sia delivered a rare televised performance, taking the stage at the socially-distanced event to belt out her new track, "Courage to Change."
    • As usual, Sia mostly obscured her face for the performance. She wore a huge, billowing pink ballgown for the performance, along with a giant, curly blonde and pink wigged that she topped off with a huge yellow bow.
    • People on Twitter had a lot of ~thoughts~ about Sia's Billboard Music Awards look.

    Sia took the stage at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards for a rare televised performance. The iconic singer performed her new song, "Courage to Change," for the event and, TBH, it was definitely an appropriate song choice for the evening/for the uncertain times we're living through.

    Sample lyrics:

    "You’re not alone in all this/ You're not alone I promise/ Standing together we can do anything/ You're not alone in all this/ You’re not alone I promise/ Standing together we can do anything."

    Sia's song was impressive, obvi, but it wasn't the most talked-about thing about her performance. That honor goes to her look. Sia performed in a huge, pink gown that could double a visual definition of the word "billowing." As usual, the singer's face was almost entirely obscured, this time by a giant, curly blonde and pink wig topped off with an even bigger yellow bow.

    Here's a full-length look at the ensemble:
