Miley Cyrus Just Made An Unexpected Admission About Her Dua Lipa Duet
Miley Cyrus has made a surprising admission about her collaboration with Dua Lipa. In 2020, Miley and Dua – both riding high off the song Midnight Sky and the album Future Nostalgia, respectively – teamed up for the duet Prisoner, which went on to appear on the former's Plastic Hearts. However, looking back five years later, the Flowers singer admitted she's not sure the Dua duet really fit in with the rest of her material at the time. During a career retrospective interview on the podcast Every Single Album, Miley was asked 'why the fuck' Dua ever wound up on Plastic Hearts, to which the former Disney star admitted: 'It wasn't my idea.' 'No shade to Dua but Prisoner just isn't cohesive with the album,' she claimed, adding that Dua 'would have been much better on something in Endless Summer Vacation', the album which spawned the hits Flowers, River and Used To Be Young. 'She would've been great on Wildcard or River,' Miley added, naming Endless Summer Vacation cuts that she thinks her fellow Grammy winner's vocals would have suited. Prisoner peaked at number eight in the UK, sparking comparisons with Pat Benatar and Blondie from some critics, and ended up being included on the re-released version of Dua's Brit Award-winning album Future Nostalgia. Interestingly, despite Miley's assertion she meant 'no shade' to the British singer, her comments come as fans have speculated that a song on her most recent album Something Beautiful is a diss at Dua. On the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved (which happens to feature a spoken-word section from supermodel Naomi Campbell), lyrics refer to a girl who 'has the perfect scent', 'speaks the perfect French' and 'can dance the night away' without ever 'breaking a sweat'. Some fans felt this was a deliberate reference to Dua, who is the face of an Yves Saint Laurent perfume, sang in French on the Angèle collaboration Fever and was nominated for an Oscar for her Barbie cut Dance The Night.
