Self Esteem brought out Moonchild Sanelly and Nadine Shah at her show in Bristol on Friday (October 3) – watch footage below.
The singer-songwriter – aka Rebecca Lucy Taylor – is in the middle of a UK and Ireland tour in support of her third studio album ‘A Complicated Woman’, which was released in April.
Sanelly is serving as a support act on the tour and Shah was also on the bill on Friday at Bristol’s Beacon venue, and both artists took the chance to join Taylor for live performances of their respective collaborative tracks on ‘A Complicated Woman’.
South African artist Sanelly sang ‘In Plain Sight’ with Taylor, as she has done on many nights of the tour so far, while Shah joined her for ‘Lies’, both of which you can watch in fan-captured footage here:
Self Esteem has two remaining nights to play at Bristol’s Beacon on Saturday and Sunday (October 4 and 5), followed by three nights in London’s O2 Academy Brixton, then Brighton and Sheffield to round out the tour. Find all the dates here and any remaining tickets here.
Elsewhere, she is curating a day at the 2025 London Literature Festival at the Southbank Centre next month, where she will appear in conversation with writer Dolly Alderton to talk about her debut book A Complicated Woman, which is out on October 30 (pre-order here).

In a round-up of the Park Stage slot, NME wrote: “From opening with an eerie nod to A Handmaid’s Tale to getting the crowd moving with tongue-in-cheek new single ‘69’, Self Esteem‘s set was even more ornate than you might expect at Glasto, and not one to be forgotten in a hurry. When the Pyramid is ready for Taylor, there’s no doubt she’ll be able to fill it.”
In May, Self Esteem won the Visionary Award at The Ivors 2025. “It means everything,” she told NME of the honour at the ceremony.
Taylor added: “Not to start going on about women like I always do, but people don’t think women write songs. It still gets questioned. People think I’ve got writers’ camps and all these things.
“No judgement if you do that, but it’s the art and I take ages over it. It ruins my life and all I do is try to create that art. I need to.” You can watch the full interview in the video above.
