Award-winning British singer Becky Hill is taking her stage performances to dizzying new heights, literally. The 31-year-old chart-topper has confirmed she is undergoing intensive acrobatic training to incorporate aerial rope work into her highly anticipated live shows.
From Spectator to Performer: A Katy Perry Inspiration
Becky Hill's foray into the world of aerial arts was sparked while she was on the road. She told The Sun that touring with pop superstar Katy Perry last year was a major inspiration, after witnessing the aerial artists in Perry's production. "A couple of them were from Cirque du Soleil so it kind of inspired me," Hill explained. She has since started her own rope training, admitting, "I've had a few goes on, and I'm not too bad."
The multi-award-winning star, known for hits like 'Crazy What Love Can Do', has been attending dedicated classes to hone her skills. When questioned on whether fans can expect to see her new talents in action, she confirmed she would like to incorporate the aerial work after officially mastering the basics.
Personal Milestones: A Seaside Wedding and Decade-Long Love
This exciting professional development follows a significant personal milestone for the singer. In September 2025, Becky married her long-term partner, Charlie Gardner, in an idyllic beach ceremony in Falmouth, Cornwall. The couple, who got engaged in January 2022, have been together for ten years.
The 'Wish You Well' songstress stunned in a corseted gown with an elegant veil, though she was forced to ditch her shoes for the sandy aisle. Gardner, who works in the events industry, opted for trainers. Celebrity guests including Ella Eyre and Gareth Gates watched from the sand as the couple tied the knot. Hill announced the news on social media with the playful caption: 'Turns out he actually does like me'.
Advocacy and Global Attitudes
Alongside her musical and acrobatic pursuits, Becky Hill continues to be a vocal advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. She publicly identifies as queer, a term she uses as an umbrella for those not identifying as heterosexual or within the gender binary.
However, she has spoken candidly about the challenges of discussing her identity abroad. In an interview with the Daily Mail, she revealed she found it "especially difficult" during a promotional trip to Poland, where she was questioned about her queerness while in a heterosexual-presenting relationship.
"I answered it very honestly," she stated. "But it's difficult when attitudes in certain areas of the world haven't been brought up to the same date as us. Everybody's got to come into the 21st century... Hopefully, people will start to love the queer community as much as I do."
Looking ahead, Becky Hill's global tour is scheduled for next year, with dates set to commence in Australia, move on to New Zealand, and conclude with a run of shows in the United Kingdom. Fans can expect a performance that combines her powerful vocals with potentially gravity-defying spectacle.
