The video, shot by a person in the audience, shows a live performance where Sia is painted in all black in order to blend into the background of the stage.

Sia, known for concealing her identity in public appearances and performances, often dons a large black and blond wig, long enough to cover her face."You're a good kind man @scooterbraun I hope this passes quickly.
