Iggy Azalea took the stage on James Corden’s The Late Late Show last night (June 13) for a smoky, twerk-filled live rendition of “Switch,” her new single featuring Brazilian vocal sensation Anitta.The performance (sans Anitta) comes ahead of the Aussie artist’s sophomore effort, Digital Distortion, which is now set to drop June 30 after a string of setbacks and delays.
During the Late Show episode, the “Fancy” artist also joined Jane Krakowski, Kate Mara and Lily James for a messy game of “Flinch,” where contestants do their best to keep martinis from spilling while Corden tries to make them, well, flinch.

Iggy Azalea‘s “Switch” video leaked over the weekend. There is a lot to take in, from wildcats, to barely-there swimsuits, to alligator ice sculptures on leash. Unfortunately, because the video was still a work in progress when it surfaced online, the pop-rap star says she might not release it, after all.
“I just wanted to clarify for everyone saying I should put it on Vevo,” Iggy said on Snapchat. “The video is not even finished being edited yet. We had media partners and other bigger plans for the video on the right day of release. And this leaking really just ruins things for [featured vocalist] Anitta and I. So I’m really disappointed that this has happened. I don’t know if the video will come out or be released at all now. And if it does, I hope that everyone will still support it.”
“Switch,” released just days ago, was Iggy aiming for song of the summer status. With its feather-light dance production, combined with its sassy lyrics, “Switch” is clearly Iggy’s offering to pop radio, while predecessor “Mo Bounce” was better suited for the club. “Switch” also got Katy Perry‘s stamp of approval.
Iggy and Anitta had only recently wrapped the “Switch” video shoot. See Iggy talk what could have been below.
