Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall’s debut solo single has seen streams rise by more than 1,000 per cent after it was played during Kylie Jenner's walk at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The South Shields-born singer's debut single as a solo artist, Angel of My Dreams, was played as Kylie Jenner walked the runway in the iconic Fantasy Bra on October 18.

One of the highest honours in the supermodel industry, it was the first time the Victoria's Secret bra had appeared on the catwalk since 2018.

First released in 2024, Angel of My Dreams was Thirlwall's first release of her solo career after Little Mix went on an indefinite hiatus in 2022, and peaked at number seven in the UK singles chart.

On the day of the show, the single had 18,000 official streams in the United States, Billboard reports.

After Kylie Jenner appeared on the catwalk with Thirlwall's song in the background, streams rose to more than 284,000.

That represented a 1,434 per cent increase.

The 33-year-old musician's track then entered Spotify’s US Daily Top Songs chart at number 197 on October 21, two and a half years after its release.

Thirlwall shared a video on social media of her travelling on the London Underground. Her song played over the clip as she looked around the carriage.

Text over the video reads: “Nobody on this tube knows that my debut single was playing while Kylie Jenner wore the fantasy bra at the VS fashion show.”

Victoria's Secret responded in the comments, writing: "Everybody needs to know! Dream moment."

Her video prompted celebration from fans and celebrity peers, excited at the North East singer's cameo in one of fashion's biggest events.

One fan wrote: "Was the perfect song for it! Trust me, people know it was you."

Influencer Nikita Redkar was among those praising the star's feature, commenting: "Jade you’re a star and it’s time they got on board!"

Thirlwall posted a follow up video today (October 22), revealing that she will perform Angel of My Dreams at the upcoming Mercury Awards ceremony.

After winning Best Pop Act at the 2025 BRIT Awards, she has been shortlisted for the this year's Mercury Prize Album of the Year for her debut solo album That's Showbiz Baby!

That's Showbiz Baby! was the fastest-selling debut album by a UK artist in 2025.

Thirlwall is open about her South Shields roots, having studied pop vocals and cosmetic makeup at South Tyneside College.

She remains connected to the area, working with local charities, businesses and community projects.

The singer is also a fan of local South Shields Football Cub.

Thirlwall is due to perform the song at the upcoming Mercury Awards in her native region of Newcastle, following its renewed attention on streaming services and social media.

The ceremony will take place at Newcastle's Utilita Arena tonight (Thursday, October 22), marking the second consecutive year the Mercury Prize has been held in the city.
