Solaria Posted January 16 Posted January 16 (edited) Quote Her poise and disinterest in drama often leads people to cast her as a guarded, too-perfect pop bot. Jokes and criticism that she’s not trying hard enough, not giving enough, have hurt her. In the middle of all this self-discovery, Lipa’s been figuring out how to create more distance from the noise around her. “It’s always so easy with social media to get caught up in a negative spiral or people being mean, telling you what they think about you without really knowing you at all. It’s already so far-fetched, maybe, for some people to think that you have feelings or that you get upset,” she says. “For me, I think it’s just important to be able to take things with a pinch of salt.” As unfazed as she may seem, some comments do sting. Take the reactions to something as innocuous as Lipa kicking back on vacation. After her Future Nostalgia tour wrapped in November 2022, Lipa spent the beginning of 2023 traveling the world with her family and friends. Fans dubbed her the “vacanza queen,” commenting about how she’s never home since her Instagram feed was full of photo dumps from places like Cannes and Ibiza. “I think people are quick to forget,” she says. “I was on tour up until the end of December. I felt like I missed out on so much time with my family and friends. It shows how short our attention span is, which is why music comes out so much faster.” And then for just a second, she bristles slightly, exhausted by how something so harmless has been getting picked apart. “Of course, I was going to ******* holiday and chill [during] the year that I was just going in the studio and had some time off. As long as I’m doing my job, hitting my deadlines, and getting my **** done, then I will find a way to relax, too. It’s really work hard and play hard. Why not?” Edited January 16 by Love Again 3
Solaria Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 I had a suspicion that she was really aware of the comments that were thrown towards her. I’m glad she’s talking about it a bit
UnusualBoy Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Is this about the vacation jokes? Cuz girl, you were even vacationing during the pandemic, let's not 5

SinnerCity Posted January 16 Posted January 16 She looks ESPECTACULAR, I cannot stress enough how much she's evolved into this pop icon level of confidence, beauty and talent. So excited for this era!!!!! 1
theoghon Posted January 16 Posted January 16 thank GOD for my fav's resounding NO to trashy US-UK tabloidery/internet shenanigannery
Ivan_brit Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Another Dua Rolling Stone cover It finally feels the era is here
LanaXtinaFan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I get that she is trying out this simplified aesthetic. But she’s gonna have to serve better than that to pull people in. Boring cover, I’d look and move on in 2 seconds. Might not be entirely her fault tho.

Digitalism Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I just hate her style this era Hate the hair (not the color but the styling) and outfits are super basic or all over the place
