Dua Lipa responds to jokes that she is ‘always on vacation’ because of photos on the networks

In the profile of Dua Lipa at the Instagram, the life is a party. The artist’s page on the social network is always full of photos showing her in some paradisiacal location, like Ibiza or Cannes.

Whether as an innocent joke or as a purposeful mockery, fans and internet users in general nicknamed the singer “vacanza queen”, or “queen of holidays”. After all, it seems like she’s always on recess.

I’m mistaken. In an interview with Rolling Stone USAthe voice of the hits “New Rules” and “Don’t Start Now” assured that she works hard — and it is possible to validate this information by checking her concert schedule, as she performed more than 90 performances in 2022 alone. The question is: why share the moments of “worrying”?

“I think people forget too quickly. I was on tour until the end of December (2022). I felt like I wasted a lot of time with my family and friends. It shows how short our attention span is, and that’s why the music comes out so much faster.”

The report points out that Dua Lipa was irritated “for just a second” by the way internet users distorted something so harmless. She said:

“Obviously I was going on vacation and relaxing [durante] the year I was getting into the studio and taking some time off. As long as I’m doing my job, meeting my deadlines, and getting my stuff done, I’ll also find a way to relax. It’s really about working hard and having fun. Why not?”

No politicized or intelligent pop stars

At another point in the interview, Dua Lipa reflected on what he considers to be the public’s desire: that their pop stars are not politicized or intelligent. The artist approached the subject by reflecting on the expectations surrounding people who have a job like hers. According to her, many would be surprised by one of her habits: reading books.

“I don’t know if people believe I like reading books or if they believe these conversations are mine.”

Right away, Lipa gave his opinion on the public’s desire in relation to his references in music. And she made it clear to go far beyond what she presents as a singer.

“I think it’s a question of what people want from their pop stars. They don’t want you to be political. They don’t want you to be smart. Not that I’m trying to prove myself in that way, but there’s a lot more to me than just what I do.”

Discretion, in fact, is a hallmark of the singer born in London, England. The report from Rolling Stone USA highlights, for example, that many fans were surprised when she silently broke with her TaPits management team, in 2022, after almost a decade of working together.

Upon leaving the company, the pop star hired her own father to be her manager — in a model very different from what is seen in the segment. Additionally, he repurchased the publishing rights to his music, gaining control over his work.

All this shows that Dua Lipa She is fully aware of what an artist of her stature needs to do. She knows that a successful singer cannot limit herself to music. There are other stages of the work that you should pay attention to.

“The creative side is the way I express myself. However, I think being able to also understand that this is my name… this is what I stand for. These are the things that are important to me and how it really goes hand in hand with art these days.”
