listened to 5,000 times while trying to perfect a dance on tiktok? that was me. you're welcome and i'm sorry. jimmy and i actually just switched jobs for the night. right now, i'm here, and he's performing for thousands of people at a dance hall in berlin. in a very tight tank top. the last time i saw jimmy it was after i broke into his house in the middle of the night. i teamed up with his wife molly -- got a bunch of lights and a smoke machine and did this. ♪ ♪ >> dua lipa: ah, there's nothing sexier than a grown man wearing a mouth guard. and i thought i'd had the last laugh, until tonight. when jimmy tricked me into hosting his show from a creepy empty house. good one jim. all kidding aside, i'm excited to do this. it's a totally new experience for me. i've never done a monologue or interviewed celebrities, but

before this year i'd also never gone to whole foods in a hazmat suit. so let's give it a shot. i'll tell you a little bit about myself. since everyone asks, yes dua lipa is my real name. and you can probably guess where i went to school based on my accent. hogwarts. house gryffindor. obviously. i've won two grammys and have 17 tattoos. that's true. i'll show you a few. i have this rose, which is a plant that grows outside. remember outside? i have a tattoo that says "this means nothing," which means something. i just can't remember. this one says "future nostalgia," which is the name of my new album. lots of artists do this actually. that's why bruce springsteen has a "born in the usa" tramp stamp. and finally, i got this one during quarantine. i think we're all looking for guidance right now, so i got a tattoo of my greatest inspiration, my hero, the reason i do everything.

guillermo, do you like it? >> i love it! >> i was hoping you'd say that. >> look, dua lipa, since you have a tattoo of me, i have a surprise for you, too. i bought one of those from the physical. >> dua lipa: no! >> yes, come on, look. >> dua lipa: let's see it. >> hold on. >> dua lipa: oh, my goodness, wow, that's very slimming on you. >> thank you, i love you. >> dua lipa: i love you, mua. >> dua lipa: you know, it's an odd time to have an up-beat disco record out, but i wanted to put something positive into the world, and people seem to be responding to it. "future nostalgia" has more than two billion streams, which means i'm almost as popular as that "baby shark" song. thanks to me, millions of people have spent the quarantine

twerking in their dining rooms. and many of you have also been doing some very creative things with my music on tiktok. it's called the "dua lipa challenge," and it goes like this. ♪ ♪ they say you haven't arrived as an artist until your music has been used to polish a bald man's head. sometimes people work costumes into them. ♪ ♪ ♪ did a full 180 i guess "dua lipa" does kinda sound like the name of a star wars villain. even celebrities have gotten involved. ♪ ♪ ♪ did a full 180, crazy >> dua lipa: now, i got very excited when i saw that, but

then i found out that's not actually bruce willis. it's a bruce willis impersonator. the disappointment of 2020 continues. speaking of my music, a lot of my fans are young, but i'm always trying to reach a wider audience. so i decided to reach out to some seniors. these are real people, who i interviewed over the internet. i told them i was conducting a survey about music, but did not tell them who i was. >> hi. >> hi, pretty lady, how are you doing? >> i'm great, thank you. >> hello. >> you're not too loud. i don't hear you too well. >> my first question is how would you describe pop music in general? >> pop music? i'm the worst person to ask that. >> i'm not particularly familiar with what's pop. >> do you know who dua lipa is? >> who? is that a person? dua lipa? >> do a leap? >> dua lipa? >> no, but i've heard that name somewhere, but i do not know.

i assume it's a lady. >> do you know who dua lipa is? >> the doobie brothers? >> i'm going to play some music for you and you just let me know what you think. >> okay, fine. >> all right, let's do it. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> love it, love it, love it! what's the name of it? >> that's called "break my heart." >> that's a good one. i'm writing it down. >> do you think she has a future in the music industry? >> i don't know. she might do well on tiktok. [ laughter ] >> she might, you're very right. she might do well on tiktok. >> i like to move a little bit. da-da-da, hello.

>> what do you think, you think you could make love to this song? >> what? me? to that song? no. >> if your grandchild told you this was their favorite song, what would you say? >> good for you. >> okay, so this is her. >> and who is that? >> she looks just like my first granddaughter vicki. >> that's terrible. >> dua lipa: it's terrible? >> if i had a daughter, i wouldn't want her to go out in that. >> it looks like she's trying too hard. >> how about this one? >> oh, yeah, oh, yeah. oh, yeah. >> i guess by today's standards that would be fine. you know? >> i think she will take "fine." do you think you could, like, look straight into the web cam and say, dua lipa is the greatest pop star in history for me, please? >> i would never say that.

>> okay, great. i'll tell her you said that. can you say dua lipa's music cured my arthritis? >> does she claim that? does she claim that? i don't think so. >> that's what her whole career is based on, curing arthritis. >> oh, during a crisis. i thought you said arthritis. [ laughter ] >> okay, how about dua lipa is a million times better than frank sinatra? >> oh, no, absolutely not. she's not holding a candle to him. >> if dua lipa was here right now, what advice do you think you would give her? >> i'm just looking at you wondering, are you dua lipa? you look like her. >> no, people say that to me all the time, but i did meet her once and she's actually -- she's not very nice. >> are you sure you're not she? >> i am dua lipa.

>> come on now. >> i'm dua lipa. >> swell. i really got myself in it this time, didn't i? >> just wanted to let you know i'm dua lipa. >> you're dua lipa? obviously. i had no idea. >> thank you so much. just wanted to let you know i'm dua lipa. >> oh, are you really? no, yes? >> yes. >> i'm going to run out right now and buy a cd. >> oh, i'm dua lipa, by the way.

thank you so much for agreeing to be on the remix of "physical." >> that's so crazy. when you think nothing is ever going to happen again, you get asked to be on your song. i'm like, yeah, of course i'll do that. and you're so cool. thanks for having me. >> the pleasure is all mine and i can't wait for everyone to hear it. actually, i have some news. it actually now comes out, our song will come out august 28, because as you know, we're doing an animation for every single song on the record. it's going to take a little bit of time, but it's going to be amazing and just wait till they hear you. i just wanted to say, i'm a massive, massive fan of yours. >> what? >> dua lipa: i did learn how to spell bananas because of you. >> i feel honored to have been a spelling teacher for many people around the world, learn how to spell bananas. but what's weird about it is i'm actually a very, very bad speller. i feel like it was god's way of comforting me or my gift to others.

because i can't spell, so anyways, yeah. >> dua lipa: that's so funny, you would never be able to tell. i play songs -- i play your songs. i pause them, i write them down, pause the song again, write them down again so i could learn all the words to your songs. do you remember what your first song was that you ever like learned all the lyrics to? >> i think that i used to be obsessed with, like, musicals when i was a kid, like avita or the "annie" sound track. i even memorized -- we used to have cassette tapes because that was a long time ago. and i used to listen to it, me and my sister. we'd memorize the warped part of the tape. we even memorized that part. but yeah, definitely, never thought that it would lead to being able to make music and be a song writer, but here we are, lucky. >> dua lipa: i love that. i love that. i was a big fan of "annie," too. >> me, too.

that was when i was a little girl. >> dua lipa: i heard that you've been spending quarantine with your husband blake shelton at the ranch in oklahoma. who else is with you? how was that? >> um, well, he's not my husband, but that sounded cool when you said it. no. yeah, me and blake -- he has a ranch in oklahoma and we were actually on his tour, right, when we got shut down from being on tour. so my brother was out with us because he's doing all these behind the scenes. so his whole family came out, so it was me, my three boys, blake, and then my brother, his wife and their two little babies, kids, and then her sister and then a friend. so we had i think it was 15 people, and it was really actually a lot of fun at first. you know what i mean? it's lake all of a sudden work is over and you just get to like indulge and being on this ranch and every day was like a new

thing. a baby armadillo today. or we had baby wild hog. and everything turned into like getting to learn how to cook sour dough bread like everybody else in the world. we had a lot of fun. >> dua lipa: i love that. have you learned to milk any animals? are you good at it yet? >> i fed milk to animals, but no. i would really be into milking. we don't have those kind of animals on the ranch. we have more like exotic -- like you'll be running and you'll see a herd of these animals. you can't touch them or anything like that. it's pretty -- it's pretty amazing, i have to say. >> dua lipa: i love it. have you got your own -- >> i grew up in orange county. i don't know if you've been down there, but it's like nothing like middle of america, and our nature was the beach. so to be able to be, you know, in oklahoma and experience a ranch kind of vibe is just something i never, ever had, so it's been really -- it's been

great, amazing. >> dua lipa: i love that. i'd expect for you to have a pair of sparkly cowboy boots. have you got those yet? >> you know, it's funny because i would always think that was so foreign to me, i would never wear cowboy boots. but yes, i actually have a bunch of cowboy boots now. i. an old pair that are like -- it feels crazy because they're five years old. that's how long we've been hanging out, me and blake shelton. it's pretty fun. it's fun to introduce a whole 'nother genre of music or culture that i never thought i'd get to know. it's exciting and fun. >> dua lipa: yeah, you just had a number one. tell me how that feels. >> that felt crazy. it's almost like -- it's a little bit full circle because i think the first concert that i ever went to, we had girl scouts of america. i was in girl scouts. my parents picked me up and took me to l.a. and we saw emmy lou harris which is a country artist.

my dad listened to a lot of blue grass. not country, but blue grass. they did a lot of festivals and stuff like that when i was a kid. now to be actually on a song and to get to be like number one at this point in my career -- 44 because i feel like i can like really use it ""the voice"" this season. i have a hard time with that. i got to be in alternative radio, then pop and now country. i'm like what? try to compete with that, john. i'm sitting between john legend and kelly clarkson. i can't beat them, but -- >> dua lipa: you've been killing it. you've been killing it. you've been so inspiring. i love to see it. thank you so much, gwen. when we come back, i have a bunch of odd provocative questions and i'm going to make gwen answer them because i'm the host and can do that. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪
