A new clip has been released of Dua Lipa hosting SNL, featuring Mikey Day. The episode will air tomorrow night.
Dua Lipa spoke to Q with Tom Power about ‘Radical Optimism.’ She talked about bad relationships, songs as therapy, stigma in pop music, her upbringing, and more.
“There’s this massive stigma as a female artist, that unless you’re behind a piano or a guitar, and if you’re making songs that feel good, that they don’t have depth. My life is so public, whether I like it or not. I’ve made peace with the fact that people have insight into my life and make up scenarios about me because I get to do what I love every single day. When I write songs and how I chose to dress them up, that’s my therapy. I don’t have to say a name, that can be for me and them. I don’t have to put someone on blast in order for me to get my catharsis.”

After the interview we did the usual pose for a publicity shot.
We were being v chatty, so they told us to be quiet – and now I look ridiculously stern in all the photos.
@itskayes says it looks like I’m a dad reluctantly leaving his daughter at university for the first time.
