The 47-year-old singer, known for her sultry vocals and iconic hits like "I'm Like a Bird," left onlookers drooling as she strutted her stuff at the Boardmasters Festival in Cornwall over the weekend. Nelly's outfit was a sizzling mix of khaki hotpants, a green wrap-around top, and white cowboy boots that seemed to be screaming for attention.

But it wasn't just her fashion sense that turned heads – the singer has also been opening up about her tumultuous past relationships. In a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Nelly revealed that she had previously been in an abusive relationship with an undisclosed partner. The dynamic was "toxic," she confessed, and left her feeling trapped.

"I went through a very difficult time where I think I accepted some things that I would never accept now, in terms of the way you're treated," she said, her voice laced with emotion. "You cannot see it at all when you're in it, and sometimes we just love so hard, and we love."

The singer's comments come as a shock to fans who are used to seeing her as a confident and empowered performer. But Nelly has been vocal about the sacrifices she made for love – including putting her happiness on hold while trying to navigate a troubled relationship.

"It's like...as women, I think we tend to sacrifice our happiness sometimes," she said. "We fall in love with someone, and we want what's best for them, even if it means sacrificing our own well-being."

She paired the hotpants with a vibrant winged cape and chunky silver necklace and earrings

The singer also touched on the topic of motherhood, revealing that she has three children – including two with her current partner, rapper Jerry (aka Gerard Damien Long). Despite her busy schedule, Nelly is clearly devoted to her family and has been open about the challenges of balancing work and motherhood.

But what can fans expect from Nelly's performance at Boardmasters? While the singer's setlist hasn't been made public yet, she has been performing hits like "Say It Right," "Maneater," and "I'm Like a Bird" on her recent tour. With her signature blend of pop and R&B, it's safe to say that Nelly will be bringing the house down with her sultry vocals and infectious energy.

And if you're thinking about reaching out for help after reading Nelly's candid comments, know that you're not alone. The singer's advice to fans is simple: "Keep close those people who tell you what you don't want to hear – they're often the ones who can help you see the truth."

While the singer's setlist from the performance has not yet been publicly available, she has recently performed hits including Say It Right, Maneater, I'm Like a Bird and All Good Things (Come to an End)
