Singer Dua Lipa named one of TIME 100’s most influential people for 2024

Singer, songwriter, and author Dua Lipa has been announced as one of the cover stars of the 2024 TIME100 list of The World’s Most Influential People by the magazine. Lipa also shared the news on her social media platforms.

With five songs in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 and a role in the successful film “Barbie” last year, TIME describes Lipa as an “escape artist” due to her rapid ascent in recent years.

Lipa expressed her lifelong habit of setting ambitious goals for herself, emphasizing the importance of manifestation. She believes in putting her dreams into the world and subconsciously working towards them.

Starting with her debut single “New Love” in 2015, Lipa has consistently released hits like “Be the One,” “Hotter Than Hell,” and “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” She also collaborated with Sean Paul on “No Lie” in 2016 before releasing her self-titled debut studio album in 2017.

Recently, Lipa showcased her acting skills in the spy thriller “Argylle,” portraying a Bond-like villain named LaGrange. She enjoyed the experience of embodying a different character and relished the challenge it presented.

In 2022, Lipa’s podcast, “Dua Lipa: At Your Service,” was recognized as one of Spotify’s Best Podcasts of the year.

Reflecting on her multifaceted career, Lipa acknowledges that while she loves her music career for its expressive opportunities, she also embraces other aspects of her identity and talents.

Previously featured on the 2021 TIME100 NEXT list, Lipa continues to make waves in both the music and entertainment industries.
