I'm still a bit like, honestly, I gotta admit, I'm not feeling very well. 'I'm okay, but it's I'm not used to the heat. But it was great. The crowd was really, really lovely. 'I was very impressed by how they braved the heat. This is probably one of the hottest shows we've ever done.' The Strangers singer added: 'It was really tough.

She said TRNSMT was one of her favourite festivals, adding that it was 'amazing' and getting 'better and better' every year. She described Scottish crowds as 'amazing, and very loud, rowdy'. She said: 'I feel like in Scotland people are rooting for me. 'Today, I honestly was wondering 'am I going to faint soon?'. If it's not me, surely someone in the audience must faint. Earlier today, I just felt they were rooting for everyone to do well.' The Norwegian artist said she went to a farm near Glasgow before the festival to try some Scottish food. The singer said she had tried haggis before in Scotland, which she described as 'weird'. She had also tried Buckfast, which she said was 'intense'.
