Dua Lipa just won Best Solo Artist at this year’s BRIT Awards, and her acceptance speech was pretty memorable. After a solid performance medley of all of her best routes that was basically a tribute to the train (with Lipa wearing Vivienne Westwood from head to toe, of course), Lipa went a step further: she called Boris Johnson herself to pay on NHS- Employees fair. We told you it was big.
After winning her award, Lipa said, “The last time I was up here and received this award in 2018, I said I wanted to see more women on these stages and I’m so proud we did that three years later see happen and it’s really a great honor to be part of this wave of women in music. ”
She went on to mention the NHS after dedicating her second award to Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, a British nurse and lecturer. She told the audience: “It is very good to clap for her, but we have to pay her and so I think what we should.” We should all give a massive applause and give Boris the message that we all support a fair wage increase for our front. “
