From dog cameos to surprise music news, Courtney Hadwin’s Insta Live had everything fans love and a little bit of that beautiful Courtney unpredictability. “It’s 25 past 11 in the morning,” she said, blinking into the camera. “We’re a bit sleepy but we’re up.” From that moment on, fans were locked in, not for a press release but a real, unfiltered catch-up with an artist who somehow makes you feel like her best friend.
Between jokes and blisters and weather complaints, Courtney dropped the big stuff: her next single, Die and Stay Pretty, lands next Friday. She called it “smooth, but depressing” a mix only she could pull off. She followed that with news fans have waited years to hear: her debut album, Little Miss Jagged, arrives September 12th. Signed vinyls, CDs, and new merch are already on her site, most of it flying fast thanks to a 50% sale.

But the live session was more than bullet points. It was Courtney being Courtney. She gave Teddy the dog a shoutout (fresh from the groomer), confirmed she would never, ever get Botox (“I hate needles!”), and told fans she’s hitting the stage in Portugal next weekend, with a set time of 11 PM and a festival that runs until 4 in the morning. In between vocal rehearsals and hair appointments, she’s prepping for her mini UK tour, which hits Manchester, Birmingham, and London right after the album drops.
The casual vibe of her live was a sharp contrast to one of her earliest career moments: her 2019 cover of Harry Styles’ Sign of the Times. If her livestream felt like talking to your cool, brutally honest cousin, that cover felt like standing still in a storm. Just Courtney, a mic, and a song that felt too big for most but not for her. She peeled it back layer by layer until all that was left was feeling, unfiltered and unforgettable.

Her voice on that track moved like a wave, soft and then crashing. It was raw without being messy, emotional without being theatrical. Fans still revisit that cover because it captured something rare: a teenager who could carry the weight of a song written for someone much older, and still make it sound like her own story.
That’s what keeps people coming back. Courtney Hadwin isn’t here to play the game. She’s here to tear it up and rebuild it her way, with live covers, live chats, and a whole lot of heart. Follow Courtney on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube because the next song might be exactly what you need to hear.
