Dua Lipa stepped into the Jimmy Kimmel Live hosting slot on Monday night and, boy, she has a career waiting in late night TV when pop music does not work.
The ‘Start Now Not’ singer delivered Kimmel’s monologue and interviewed celebrities, both a first. She also confirmed that Dua Lipa is indeed her real name, she has 17 tattoos (including a familiar face on her back) and she was educated at that great British institution, Hogwarts.
Lipa also went undercover and chatted with some seniors to gauge their thoughts on the songs and the feeling of, well, dressing Dua Lipa.
Later in the show, Lipa interviewed Gwen Stefani. “You are brave,” Stefani said at the top. The singer No Doubt will appear on a remix of Lipa’s “Physical”, the video for which August 28 will drop.
Gwen also talked about hanging out with friend Blake Shelton on an Oklahoma ranch during lockdown, and she tackled some tricky “random, strange” questions. ‘Have you ever forgotten your lyrics on stage,’ Lipa asked (of course, yes). What would Blake say is her most annoying trait? (on her phone). Ever seen a ghost (her son did).
