Dua Lipa has hailed Britney Spears as “an icon”.<\/p>\n
The Houdini singer also singled out her all-time favourite song by the pop star.<\/p>\n
Dua, 30, named Britney’s 2003 hit Toxic as her most-loved track and revealed she likes to listen to the song every night to unwind when she’s on holiday with her extended family.<\/p>\n
“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 favourite songs.”<\/p>\n
The Levitating artist went further, declaring Toxic “one of the greatest” and a timeless classic. <\/p>\n
“I think it’s one of the greatest pop songs ever made,” Dua gushed. “It makes me feel nostalgic, but also at the same time, if it came out yesterday, it would be an absolute smash. I love it so much.” <\/p>\n
She added the song’s music video, featuring Britney, 44, on board a spaceship as a galactic air hostess, was a big part of its draw.<\/p>\n
“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”.<\/p>\n
“I love Britney so much,” she said. “I love everything about her, all her songs. She’s such an icon.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dua Lipa has hailed Britney Spears as “an icon”.
