Dua Lipa is a pop star and activist who grew up in the U.K. and Kosovo_  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Oct 10, 2018 3:09 PM UTC Dua Lipa is a pop star and activist who grew up in the U.K. and Kosovo  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Oct 10, 2018 3:09 PM UTC Following the [2018 American Music Awards](http://time.com/5419522/2018-american-music-awards-recap-amas/), it was time for yet another edition of [Jimmy Kimmel’s](http://time.com/5419395/jimmy-kimmel-melania-trump/) tried-and-true [“Mean Tweets”](http://time.com/5261260/avengers-cast-mean-tweets/) segment featuring some of music’s biggest stars. In the pre-filmed clip that aired during Tuesday’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_, artists such as Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa and P!nk read aloud some of the meanest things that people on the Internet have written about them, i.e., “Miley Cyrus is a smelly pirate hooker” and “P!nk is aging pretty well for a pig.” But it was the members of Nickelback who handled the insult leveled against their band with the most grace. After reading a tweet in which someone said they would rather stab themselves in the unmentionables than listen to another Nickelback song, frontman Chad Kroeger chuckled before adding, “That’s funny, that’s how we make Nickelback songs.” Self-deprecating comebacks don’t get much better than that. Watch the full clip below. ## Transcript [00:00] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:05] I love what I do so much. [00:10] I'm willing to work for it. I'd like to take over the world. [00:14] If I [00:22] could. [ MUSIC ] I moved to Kosovo at the age of 11 [00:26] until the age of 15. And it was really that period where [00:29] I lived in Kosovo that really made me realize how much [00:31] I loved performing in front of an audience. 15, I [00:34] decided to move back to London on my own and go [00:38] back to school, but at the same time try and Try [00:43] and do music. I remember it quite well, kind of [00:45] approaching my parents and being like hey, how about [00:46] I just go to London. My Mom wanted to come with me [00:50] but I didn't really want my parents to be a part. I kind [00:54] of just wanted to prove to them I could do it. I have [00:57] this dream and I was like I'm just gonna go out and try. [00:59] And so I started posting covers up on YouTube [01:07] [ MUSIC ] I feel like I represent Kosovo in a way. [01:11] They've been so supportive of everything I've done [01:14] from the very beginning. Especially when I put out my [01:17] first song, New Love. I'm sure all of you three came [01:21] from Kosovo and Albania because it's so small, so [01:24] everybody, you know, they really root for you. And they [01:27] really support you, and to this day they've been really [01:29] supportive. [ MUSIC ] It's [01:35] definitely a lasted milestone for me to know that my [01:37] songs are charting, and that they are being heard on [01:40] the radio. My only aim was just to get music out and to [01:43] have as many people as possible hear it, and to kinda [01:46] have this response, and have people react to it the [01:49] way they have done. It's like the best thing in the [01:53] world, and I'm so grateful for it. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] Girl [01:54] power empowerment. I think girls should be looking [01:55] after girls all the [02:00] time. What I wanted to [02:04] really portray in the video is it being about, [02:08] not just girls, but anyone really being able to lean [02:13] on Their friends for advice and then being able to help [02:16] each other. And there's nothing better than being nice, [02:18] and looking after one another, and I think now [02:22] more than ever we need that in the world. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5420385/mean-tweets-nickelback-miley-cyrus/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5420385/mean-tweets-nickelback-miley-cyrus/"},"headline":"Nickelback Knows Exactly How to Handle Your Very Mean Tweets","datePublished":"2018-10-10T15:09:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T08:02:24.707Z","description":"Self-deprecation at its best","url":"https://time.com/5420385/mean-tweets-nickelback-miley-cyrus/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Jimmy Kimmel","TV","jimmy kimmel live","Late Night Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1450368a450ee899/69893c32ab6d7745bb6b3e18/screen-shot-2018-10-10-at-10-02-02-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1450368a450ee899/69893c32ab6d7745bb6b3e18/screen-shot-2018-10-10-at-10-02-02-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Nickelback-Mean-Tweets","caption":"","creditText":"ABC/Jimmy Kimmel Live!","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5420385/mean-tweets-nickelback-miley-cyrus/","name":"Nickelback Knows Exactly How to Handle Your Very Mean Tweets"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Next Generation Leaders: Dua Lipa","description":"Dua Lipa is a pop star and activist who grew up in the U.K. and Kosovo","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ob1O8qja/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-10-11T18:56:54.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ob1O8qja.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5420385/mean-tweets-nickelback-miley-cyrus/","duration":"PT2M28S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5420385/mean-tweets-nickelback-miley-cyrus/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
