The singer, who wore white pants on the Brazilian stage, has recently spoken about how wearing pants rather than skirts make her feel powerful.

"Jackets and pants are my power clothes. I agree with Annie Lennox when she said, 'wearing a suit is like wearing armour'," she told Canadian magazine, Fashion.

"I wore pants and a shirt at the Grammys because it made me feel confident. I remember looking at early photos of Patti Smith when she was wearing those men's shirts she chopped off at the sleeve.
