Alessia Cara Fans, Including Kehlani and Ariana Grande, Support Her EMA Look

Vocals: slayed. Lyrics: perfected. Suit: oversized. Taking the EMA stage last night, Alessia Cara delivered a flawless performance of "Trust My Lonely" in her signature loose-tie and giant, grey suit jacket aesthetic.


It's a look that Alessia's been consistently rocking as piece of her The Pains of Growing era, including in the cover art for the album, which drops on November 30. Though the tie color keeps changing from efficiency to efficiency, the look remains the same.


Following her EMA efficiency, Alessia responded on Twitter to a viewer who was no fan of her oversized suit aesthetic. "It's getting kinda old," the viewer wrote, "wear something else once your [sic] performing."


Yet for Alessia, that negative feedback is no deterrence. Her aesthetic deep-rooted is essential to the album's theme, on which Alessia goes by means of the difficulties of growing into the woman she is today.


"It's what I'm putting on Once I sing my song I've worked incredibly hard on," Alessia tweeted in response. "Open your minds or keep your tired suggestions to yourselves."

I don’t like giving attention to negative comments, although I just wish to log onto my twitter & have the ability converse with my supporters without seeing the same shit about what I wear. I work also hard as a writer and artist to be reduced down to the girl who dresses bad. Do something else!

Alessia's fanbase immediately came to her defense, sharing their admiration for her music, aesthetic and the message she's sending fans and the music industry at large.

it’s almost 2019 people shouldn’t be telling women what they should and shouldn’t wear!! We dress how we want!!! We don’t care about anyone’s preferences!!! Fuck that!!!

Most notably, Kehlani supported Alessia with a Ariana tagline that's taken over the world wide web in just a couple of days: "thank u, next!"

THANK U, NEXXXXXXT

It's a message that Ariana herself speedily cosigned, adding just a period to amplify Kehlani's tweet -- a tactic that Ariana's began to use routinely on Twitter.


With just over three weeks to go until The Pains of Growing drops, Alessia is surely taking the "thank u, next" suggestions and doing her own damn thing, oversized suit and all.
