FKA Twigs Balances Artistry with Trauma After Settling LaBeouf Suit

FKA Twigs, the British singer-songwriter, recently shared her insights on balancing artistry with personal trauma. In an interview with ELLE UK for their February cover story, she discussed how her late thirties have brought reflections on her past experiences.

Finding Balance in Life and Artistry

Twigs spoke candidly about her journey, highlighting the contrasts in her life. She described her experiences as both “beautiful and amazing” as well as “brutal and violent.” With age, she has learned to embrace the complexities of her emotions.

“I can hold my love of life and my artistry and the beauty of my life, and I can also hold the brutality and the sadness and the violence,” she expressed. This duality, she notes, ultimately contributes to her growth.

Reflections on Past Trauma

Her openness extends to her past relationship with Shia LaBeouf. In December 2020, Twigs filed a lawsuit against the actor, accusing him of severe physical and emotional abuse, including claims of sexual battery and causing her distress. During this challenging period, she described LaBeouf’s actions as dangerous, alleging violent incidents that had lasting effects on her well-being.

LaBeouf has denied all allegations, with his legal team asserting that he did not cause harm to Twigs. In July, Twigs decided to settle the case outside of court, expressing mutual wishes for personal and professional happiness moving forward.

Upcoming Tours and Musical Achievements

Looking ahead, FKA Twigs is set to embark on a European tour after a North American leg. The tour will kick off in June, with concerts scheduled in prominent cities such as:

• Copenhagen
• Amsterdam
• Paris
• Berlin

She will headline a notable performance at London’s O2 on June 10. Ticket details for her shows can be found through various online platforms.

Chart Success and Critical Acclaim

The artist’s recent work, particularly the track ‘Room Of Fools’ from ‘Eusexua’, has gained recognition, landing at Number 25 on NME’s list of the 50 best songs of 2025. Critics have praised Twigs for her innovative approach to art, blending music, movement, and emotion seamlessly. Her subsequent track, ‘…Afterglow’, also received positive reviews, affirming her status as a leading figure in the alt-pop genre.

FKA Twigs continues to inspire with her artistry, using her platform to address personal experiences while engaging with her audience through her upcoming performances.
