Nelly Furtado is in her comeback era after releasing her first single in five years back in June – and now she's revealed another exciting project she's been secretly working on.
The 44-year-old took to social media on Wednesday to share a jaw-dropping photo of herself rocking a strapless, metallic purple dress that boasted exaggerated puffed sleeves, a plunging neckline, and a cinched waist that showcased her incredible curves.
The gorgeous photo – which also saw Nelly wearing ornate drop earrings – was in honor of her upcoming appearance as a guest judge on the fourth season of Canada's Drag Race, premiering November 16.

She added: "Wait until you meet these unstoppable queens! I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of the family this season. Season 4 of Canada’s Drag Race premieres November 16 at 9 p.m."
Her followers were quick to react, and Nelly was inundated with supportive messages. "This is going to be so good!!! So happy to see you in the show," replied one.
A second said: "I've never seen Canada's drag race, but I'll watch this season for you." A third added: "Nelly is having such a comeback right now."

The 'Maneater' singer returned to the spotlight in May when she posed for her first photoshoot in six years. Appearing in Fault Magazine, she modeled several stunning looks, including a multi-colored mini dress and a black and nude striped catsuit.

"I just got diagnosed with ADHD in the last 18 months of my life," Nelly shared. "I believe I've had it my whole life, but playing instruments six days a week as a kid kept me in check.

"The good news is I'm getting to know my brain really well. I love talking about it, so I'm hoping to share my experience with people and have conversations about it."

"Because I think I'm mature enough now to not be overly dramatic about it and just deal with it and find solutions rather than dwell on the emotional side of it."
