The performance – which also includes a masked Jordan Fish – was recorded during her recent tour in Australia with Bad Omens.Speaking on why she chose the song, Poppy explained: “I love her voice and I think she’s very pretty.

And the song is really fun to sing, so here we are.”For the performance, Poppy also pays homage to Australian band The Divinyls, interpolating their song ‘I Touch Myself’ after ‘Taste”s chorus.

Poppy explained why she chose to honour The Divinyls: “The first time I heard [‘Taste’], I thought it sounded like ‘I Touch Myself’, which is also my favourite karaoke song, so combining it made sense.”Poppy’s take on ‘Taste’ also sees her cut down the track to just over two-and-a-half minutes.
