"Black Widow" has been described as "channeling the trap" genre, containing an ominous steel drum rhythm, heavy bass and a sparse beat. Initially a track recorded by Katy Perry for her fourth studio album, Prism (2013), it was excluded from Prism track listing, and Perry handed the demo to Azalea for her to complete. An accompanying music video for the song was released on 13 August 2014. Its lyrics chronicle subjects of revenge and feminism in a failed romantic relationship. It was written by Azalea, Katy Perry, Sarah Hudson, Benny Blanco, and duo Stargate, while the latter also produced the song. Released through Def Jam Recordings, the song impacted on mainstream radio stations in the US on 8 July 2014, as the fifth single from her debut studio album, The New Classic (2014).
" Black Widow" is a song recorded by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, featuring vocals by British singer Rita Ora, which sung song's hook. The “Fancy” omission was even more surprising considering Charli XCX was also in the house after performing “Boom Clap” on the red carpet.2014 single by Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora "Black Widow" However, the most noteworthy part of Azalea’s performance was what was missing: She didn’t use her VMA spot to also perform “Fancy,” which was strange since the track was up for Video of the Year. Of course, in a night filled with prime-time posteriors, Iggy made sure hers was also prominently featured.
And there were the backup dancers in red hourglass outfits, too.
Fresh off winning an award earlier in the night for featuring on Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” Azalea was joined onstage by Rita Ora to perform their The New Classic hit “Black Widow.”Īzalea and Ora really committed to the song’s theme, wearing tight-fitting sequined catsuits that resembled Spider-Man’s black symbiote suits as they performed in front of a spider web backdrop. While Iggy Azalea and the Beatles are the only acts in history to have their first two singles simultaneously ranked in the top two spots of the Billboard Hot 100, the Australian rapper has now accomplished something the Fab Four never did: perform at the MTV Video Music Awards.
