    I respect. She is a bit like a female Bruce Springsteen. In my eyes that is a good thing.

    PS: I am neither a fan of Bruce Springsteen or Dua Lipa, but I do support them as IMHO, they have their hearts in the right place.

    I try not to lionize pop stars, but as a human navigating the world of pop stardom in this modern age, she has generally taken the right stance even when it was not popular.

    Especially for a ‘pop’ star, that’s commendable.

    And her music slaps.

      Does it? I really need to check some out. I might already know some but is there a good place to start? Just to dip my toes in the water? I’ve been a little bit newer to the pop-ish scene and maybe prefer things a little more in the alt/indie/bedroom style but I’m trying to Branch out. So if you got any album in particular or something that is a good place to start that would be cool

    This is how I learn Dua Lipa’s name is actually Dua Lipa

    I honestly thought it was a stage name.

      I thought it was a weird band name until about a year ago. When I finally really listened to a song I got hooked and I’m now a fan.

          The lyrics that get me are:

          We fight and we argue

          You’ll still love me blind

          If we don’t fuck this whole thing up Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah

          The change in tone between these lines is amazing and not something I can recall hearing often in songs.

    My question is, what idiot thought that Jared and Ivanka would be great spokespeople for something like this?
