Singer Dua Lipa criticizes colleagues for protecting their own privacy for profit. Does she mean Taylor Swift?
In a recent interview, Dua Lipa (29) criticizes musicians who “use their private lives to attract attention.” Fans suspect that this is a targeted attack on colleague Taylor Swift (34).
In a new interview with, Dua Lipa says she avoids singing about her personal life – unlike others in her industry. “Some people are just so inconsiderate with their own personal lives that they decide to put it all in a song because they know it’s going to get people’s attention.”
Exceptional artist Taylor Swift is known for processing her past relationships in her song lyrics. Most recently, she is said to have addressed the breakup with her ex-boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn (33), or the short-term romance with musician Matty Healy (35) on her album “The Tortured Poets Department”. “It’s the worst men that I write best about,” Swift herself sums up in the final poem of the album.
She does not want success at the expense of others
Dua Lipa speaks out against this: “For me it has always been important to make music that people really love, and not because I’m pissing someone off or because I’m doing it for clickbait at someone else’s expense.” However, the British-Albanian musician does not name any names.
Swifties, as diehard Taylor Swift fans call themselves, see this as a criticism of their idol. “Yes, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this was a veiled, albeit harmless, shot at Taylor Swift,” posted a fan of the pop-country singer on X (formerly Twitter). Another user, however, does not find the obvious criticism “veiled.” “Hasn’t Dua Lipa always been about showing veiled disrespect towards Taylor Swift?” complained another person on X.
Dua Lipa has not yet commented on the allegations.
