So there was a huge boycott of the awards.

And what Sinead did at the awards is that she did go and she did perform, but she had stenciled on her shaved head the Public Enemy logo.

She did that, obviously, as an act of solidarity with the artists that were boycotting

And given that this was her first ever large American performance, I think that's really quite astonishing.

As does Chuck D, as he talks about it so beautifully in Nothing Compares.

I think they thought she's the real deal.

She's really doing what she says she's, you know, she's trying to do.

And I just think in terms of Sinead and her protests and the aesthetics of protests,

I think someone needs to write a book or make a book about that and Sinead's use of protests and everything that she wore.

She has had a very iconic T-shirt collection, slogan collection, which someone should spend a day or two looking at because it is this iconic T-shirt collection, both with activism and just sheer Sinead's stoic humour.

She had a very wry humor and that came across in all of her T-shirts.

So, yeah, I think she wore her protests very beautifully and also just on the Grammys saying, sorry, I forgot to mention a key part of it, as well as having the Public Enemy logo stenciled on her head.

She also wore her baby son Jake's baby grow around her waist.

She's gorgeous.

wearing this iconic outfit of like a black crop top and baggy jeans.

And she's got this wee baby girl around her waist.

And the reason she did that was because her music label had, whenever Sinead got pregnant with her first child with Jake,

She had been advised by the label's doctor, she speaks about this very widely, to not go ahead with that pregnancy.

And she did go ahead with the pregnancy and she had her baby son Jake and she decided to wear this baby grow again.

As an act of protest and as an act of defiance, I guess, telling the industry what she was made of.
