BLACKPINK's Lisa Refuses To Perform At Miss Universe 2025; Here's Why
Last Updated: Lisa's team explained the artist's fully booked calendar for the year prompted them to refuse the offer. BLACKPINK artist Lisa's fame has truly transcended boundaries, now bringing her global recognition as a solo artist and an actor with The White Lotus. Besides music, Lisa's popularity also extends to fashion and endorsement, making her one of the most well-known members of the girl band. With that said, Lisa was recently even invited to perform at Miss Universe 2025—something that the idol has turned down. According to a Koreaboo report, Nawat Itsaragrisil, the CEO of the Miss Universe Organisation, in a TikTok video, confirmed the news and revealed that Lisa was invited to perform at this year's Miss Universe grand finale, which is set to take place in Thailand. The organisers were initially excited to bring the artist on board; however, discussions with her team were quite challenging. Despite multiple efforts for a negotiation, Lisa's team refused the offer, citing scheduling conflicts, as the calendar for this year appears to be fully booked due to multiple projects. Boss Nawatt (President of Miss Universe Thailand) stated during a TikTok live that they had contacted #LISA to perform at the Miss Universe 2025, which will be hosted in Thailand this year. However, after checking with her management team, her schedule could not be aligned.… — LALICE UPDATES (@LaliceUpdates) April 27, 2025 As soon as the news came out, fans were quick to voice their support for the singer. While some praised Lisa's idea of prioritising her musical career more than just focusing on other projects, others dubbed her decision as wise. One wrote, 'It's NOT a missed opportunity at all. Thank God she rejected it, and I hope she never associates herself with this mentally unstable guy," while another added, 'I would have loved to see her performing in Miss Universe, but it's a relief to us fans that we will be fed this whole year as she is already booked everywhere." A section of users mentioned why Lisa should work with Miss Universe, with one of them writing, 'I hope she will not accept the invitation; he is problematic." Miss Universe 2025 will be held later this year at IMPACT Arena Muang Thong Thani. For Lisa on the work front, she recently performed solo at Coachella, where she delivered energetic performances on songs like Thunder, New Woman, LALISA, Moonlit Floor, Money, Born Again and Rockstar, among others. She is now ready to join the group for their upcoming world tour. At the same time, Lisa will also be collaborating with music giant Maroon 5 for a new song titled Priceless, as confirmed by the Adam Levine-fronted band on social media. A release date is yet to be revealed. First Published:

Blackpink's Lisa Drops Solo Album "Alter Ego": Stream It Now
Yara Sameh After months of buildup, Blackpink member Lisa has at last unveiled her debut solo album, "Alter Ego", complete with 15 new tracks and collaborations from Megan Thee Stallion, Future, Tyla and more. Featuring the previously released singles 'Rockstar,' 'New Woman' featuring Rosalía, 'Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)' and 'Born Again' with Doja Cat and RAYE, Alter Ego finds Lisa channeling a quintet of different personas: Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni and Speedi. 'It represents five characters of me as well, like I feel related with them,' she told Sean Evans on Hot Ones one day prior to the LP's release. 'It feels like I can express myself in a different version of me, and it's fun,' she continued. 'I can't wait for my fans to listen to this album, to really enjoy this album and see a different side of Lisa.' Leading up to 'Alter Ego", the Thai rapper had only released two proper solo singles: 2021's 'LALISA' and 'MONEY,' both of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, she also appeared sans her bandmates on DJ Snake's 'SG' with Ozuna and the 'HISS' rapper, who features on an Alter Ego track titled 'Rapunzel.' Lisa is just the latest Blackpink member to release a set of solo songs in recent months. Rosé dropped her first-ever solo album, "Rosie", in December, two months after which Jisoo unveiled an EP titled "Amortage". Jennie will follow suit March 7, with the Idol actress' debut LP "Ruby" scheduled to arrive one week after Alter Ego. The foursome will soon get back together, though, with Blackpink announcing a summer 2025 world tour earlier this month. It'll mark the ladies' first trek together since 2022-2023's Born Pink World Tour, which supported Billboard 200-topper Born Pink. In her November Billboard cover story, Lisa said that she 'can't wait' to reunite with her bandmates. 'We know each other so well and know how much energy we have to put into every single project,' she added of their time apart spent working on solo music. 'So we want to support and say, 'You did really well!' … They're like family. I'm just so happy that they're releasing something. This is what we all wanted to do, so I just wanted to say that I really do love their songs.'

Watch Lisa Try to Prove to Blackpink Bandmate Rosé That She's ‘Not Gonna Cry' During ‘Hot Ones'
Lisa only had one goal in mind when she took on the 'Hot Ones' wing-eating challenge: perform better than her Blackpink groupmate Rosé did. 'I did my homework. I asked my teammate, Rosé… She said it was really spicy and she told me to take ice cream,' Lisa said during the new episode released Thursday. Later in the show, as she was faced with Da Bomb wing — the one Rosé really struggled with on her episode — Lisa jokingly bragged about being tougher than her friend. More from Rolling Stone Lisa Explores Her Many Sides on 'Alter Ego' Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Lisa, and More Stars to Perform at 2025 Oscars Lisa Will Feature Tyla, Future, and Megan Thee Stallion on 'Alter Ego' 'I'll show Rosé I'm not gonna cry. I'll prove her wrong! I don't want to cry after this one,' she said. I'm tryna be cool with it. It's whatever! It's not that spicy.' Lisa explained that she had a trick to help herself deal with spice: 'to [spit] her saliva out.' She joked, 'I want to do it now, but it's going to look so bad on camera… I should keep my image nice.' While speaking to host Sean Evans, Lisa explained how her upcoming album, Alter-Ego, is based on five characters that 'express a different version of me.' On working with Max Martin, Lisa said she was 'really lucky' to tap the iconic producer for her solo music. As for 'New Woman' collaborator Rosalía, Lisa said she saw her perform at Coachella. 'My jaw was like, 'Wow. This woman is so talented,'' Lisa said before sharing her excitement for Rosalía joining her on a song: 'It's too good to be true! Our cultures combined turned out so incredible.' As for joining the cast of White Lotus, Lisa said she was excited to film the show's opening scene, when guests arrive at the island. 'I got to say that line!' Lisa said of her role as Mook, a hotel worker. 'Can you imagine?' Lisa's album, Alter-Ego, is set to drop tonight, featuring Megan Thee Stallion on 'Rapunzel' and her onetime Rolling Stone Musicians on Musicians partner Tyla on 'When I'm With You.' A Rolling Stone review of the album read: 'Lisa's versatility is clearly a strength … It helps make Alter Ego feel like an encouraging first step in her figuring out how where her solo career might go.'
