"Take a Sexy Picture of Me (And Tell Me Why You Hate It)"
"One of the most poignant moments of the set came during Take a Sexy Picture of Me. Before performing it, CMAT once again spoke openly about why she wrote the song: the horrific abuse she received about her appearance following her previous Big Weekend performance several years ago in Luton. The backlash became so severe that the BBC eventually disabled comments under clips from the set. Yet here she was again, returning to the exact same festival with the exact same body, the exact same energy and the exact same refusal to make herself smaller or more digestible for public comfort. The crowd screamed every word back at her. It felt emotional to witness what was, in many ways, a full-circle moment.Then I opened social media."
