Dua Lipa<\/strong>‘s been promoting her new album,\u00a0Radical Optimism<\/em>,\u00a0with a lot of videos and photos of her in and under the water, but believe it or not, none of this imagery has anything to do with the fact that she played Mermaid Barbie<\/a> in the Barbie<\/em> movie last year.<\/p>\n

The cover of the album<\/strong><\/a> shows her standing in an ocean with a shark approaching, and in the album trailer, there’s video of her<\/strong><\/a> swimming underwater. She also posted photos<\/strong><\/a> of herself swimming underwater with the caption, “Sometimes you gotta be in deep waters to find yourself.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0about whether or not all this watery stuff is a call back to Barbie<\/em>, Dua says, “No, but I feel like I\u2019m never going to let go of these mermaid allegations, it seems!”<\/p>\n

“I just love to be underwater. That wasn\u2019t the inspo, but I love that it all trickled into it together, all these different parts of me and my journey that have brought me to this point,” she adds. “If that\u2019s\u00a0mermaid Barbie, then so be it!”<\/p>\n

Fans also wonder<\/strong><\/a> if the album cover is a reference to the fact that Harry Houdini<\/strong> — the legendary magician who inspired the title of her hit “Houdini” — once had plans to fight a shark<\/strong><\/a>. Nope, says Dua.<\/p>\n

“It actually wasn\u2019t intentional,” she explains. “I do love the little connections that all the fans make because, to be honest, it sometimes surprises me.”<\/p>\n
