Nelly Furtado Steps Away From Live Performances for the Foreseeable Future

The Instagram post marking 25 years since her debut framed a pause from the stage with a pledge to keep writing.

Overview

  • Furtado said she will step back from performing to pursue other creative and personal endeavors, calling the move open-ended.
  • She emphasized she will continue to write music and described herself as a songwriter forever.
  • Her announcement accompanied a throwback photo from her first professional show and a recent Berlin stage video reflecting on her career.
  • The decision follows a comeback that included her 2024 album 7, collaborations with her daughter Nevis, and heavy touring through 2025 to newly engaged Gen Z audiences.
  • She gave no details on next steps; fans broadly voiced support, while some media linked the timing to recent body‑shaming coverage that she did not cite.
