Dua Lipa has expressed her admiration for Britney Spears, who recently found herself in trouble after being arrested on charges of driving under the influence (DUI). The "Houdini" singer has described her as an "icon" and even revealed her all-time favorite song by the pop star.
Dua named Britney's 2003 hit "Toxic" as her most-loved track and opened up about the fact that she likes to listen to it every night to unwind when she's on holiday with her extended family. "You're very silly and giggly and fun, and I need to hear 'Toxic' at the end of every single night when I'm feeling like that," she told Vogue Magazine. "It's one of my favorite songs."
The "Levitating" artist went further, declaring "Toxic" as "one of the greatest" timeless classics. "I think it's one of the greatest pop songs ever made," Dua praised, adding, "It makes me feel nostalgic, but at the same time, if it came out yesterday, it would be an absolute smash. I love it so much."
She also discussed the song's music video, featuring Britney on board a spaceship as a galactic air hostess, which was a big part of its appeal. "The bit that stays in my mind that I remember so well is Britney in a stewardess outfit, and I don't think anyone has been able to make a stewardess outfit look so good," Dua said, before confessing her belief that Britney was "an icon."
"I love Britney so much," she said. "I love everything about her, all her songs. She's such an icon."
