Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2018: Rita Ora ready to 'take New York' after confirming performance

Rita Ora is gearing up to walk among the angels at the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Holiday Special.

Ora will jet into New York to perform at the annual fashion showcase alongside artists including Shawn Mendes and Bebe Rexha.

The Poison singer, 27, tweeted her excitement at the news, joking she is ready to ‘take New York’ before confirming a second US appearance on Thanksgiving.

“RITA TAKES NEW YORK CITY!” she tweeted. “I’ll be performing at the @VictoriasSecret Fashion Show in NYC airing on December 2nd AND performing at the @Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 22nd - the day before my album PHOENIX comes out!! Be sure to tune in!”

The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Shawn Mendes and The Struts will also perform at the bash which is returning to New York City after stints in London, Paris and Shanghai.

The event, which will be seen in more than 190 countries, will see Kendall Jenner walk alongside fellow Angels and sibling duo Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Behati Prinsloo will make her hotly anticipated return after a three year hiatus on the catwalk with Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk and Jasmine Tookes on hand to welcome her back.

Josephine Skriver, Lais Ribeiro, Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell and Taylor Hill will also star.

The star-studded event will showcase Victoria’s Secret’s newest designer collaboration with Mary Katrantzou.
