JADE has challenged privileged pop stars for their silence during political turmoil, particularly targeting Matty Healy of The 1975 for his non-political stance. She believes artists should not ignore world events. JADE herself has been an active supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and recently voiced her support for Palestine. During performances, she led chants against the British political party Reform UK and addressed issues like trans rights and welfare cuts, demonstrating her commitment to activism in her music career.
"I don't think you can be a pop artist and cover your eyes," she said, before directly referring to The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.
"We don't want our legacy to be one of politics. We want it to be one of love and friendship," he said, in a somewhat surprising statement given how Healy has spoken extensively about his own political views in the past.
