And Kylie Minogue sings the praises of her Real Groove collaborator Dua Lipa, by writing, “Dua Lipa is a shining star, blazing a dazzling trail through the pop cosmos.
“Just under four years ago, she released the first of her two albums. Today, she is dancing hand in hand with the zeitgeist, having carved with laser-like precision her place in the cultural landscape.”
The honourees will be feted in a special livestream event at 1pm ET on Friday, when Lipa, Bridgers, Combs, and Anitta will perform, and Page, Chloe X Halle, and Ruffin will be among the familiar faces making virtual appearances, according to TheWrap.com.
