Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall Delivers Powerful Feminist Speech at the Global Awards

The Little Mix star delivered the speech of dreams.

Little Mix stars Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock are no strangers to scrutiny, whether they're being criticised for what they're wearing or the subjects of their songs.

That doesn't stop them scooping up awards though, and their tune 'Power' (ft Stormzy) took home Best Song at the first annual Global Awards last night - which is when Jade took the opportunity to let all the haters know EXACTLY what she thinks.

Take a look at the latest update from MTV News...

As the band took to the stage to collect their award, Jade delivered what can only be described as one of the greatest, and most relatable, feminist speeches ofour time.

"We just want to say that as a girl band, and as women, we do face a lot of scrutiny all the time. Whether it’s for the way we look, how much thigh we get out, how we dance, what we sing about," she began.

She continued: "And we just wanna say that although one day we hope that does stop, right now, we’re really not arsed what people think. We are women, we will dress how we want to dress. If we want to do a twerk, we’ll do a twerk."

"We will always encourage our fans, especially our female fans, to be themselves and do what they wanna do with our music."

It's clear that Jade was speaking on behalf of the entire band, as the girls nodded along and hugged her while she enjoyed her mic drop moment.

Unsurprisingly, mixers were just as obsessed with the speech as us, with loads of them taking to Twitter with their incredible reactions.

Bravo, Jade.
