FKA Twigs left fans confused after sharing an Instagram post of herself pole-dancing with a pronounced baby bump.

FKA Twigs lit up Instagram on Thursday (August 22) with a pole-dancing photo that featured a pronounced baby bump, leaving followers puzzled about whether she was expecting a child or just serving a concept.

The image, which showed the British artist in a bikini gripping a pole with a rounded belly on full display, instantly stirred confusion.

“I’m confused,” one user wrote. Another chimed in, “U jus ate? Lol.”

But not everyone was thrown off. Some followers caught the metaphor. “Pregnant w that new album,” one person commented. Another added, “Afterglow having too many aunties, uncles and theyties.”

The bump, it turns out, was a prosthetic. The visual was part of a symbolic rollout for her upcoming album Afterglow, which FKA Twigs first teased during a set at the Lowlands Music Festival in the Netherlands on Friday (August 16).

“It’s true. I am pregnant with new music. I am full and abundant and ready to give birth. Her name is Afterglow, and my labor shall commence next month,” she said on stage, referring to the album, not an actual baby.

Eusexua Afterglow is the follow-up to her January 2025 experimental album Eusexua.

While some initially thought Eusexua Afterglow was a deluxe edition, her team confirmed it’s an entirely new body of work.

The album is expected to arrive in September 2025, though no official date has been announced.

The project will include the single “Perfectly,” which dropped in July and was described by Twigs as a continuation of the Eusexua era.

Her visual metaphor may have confused some, but it’s clear that Twigs is leaning fully into theatrical storytelling as she prepares to deliver her next musical chapter.
