“It was my idea,” Lipa told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m such a fan of Chris and I just reached out and said, ‘Want to do something together?’ And this came about.”
“I think she threw herself into the mix,” Stapleton said. “We got on the phone and talked about it and worked on it a little bit. We really only kind of put together what we did like two days ago. It was kind of a whirlwind of a thing to do — but it was awesome.”
“I’m a big, big Chris Stapleton fan, that’s for sure, and I love country music,” Lip added. “I love the storytelling, I love the passion, and it was just so beautiful to be able to dive into that world a little bit, just kind of see it firsthand. It was really special.”
Lipa will be the Friday night headliner at Glastonbury Festival this June and has announced a date at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 17 October.
Lipa recently spoke with Variety about the statement she is hoping to make with her new album, Radical Optimism.
“I think for me, the importance of understanding that when things are bad, there’s always some light at the end of the tunnel,” she said. “I always think about it like, when I’m in the midst of a mess of turmoil or everything’s going wrong, I always tell myself, in a couple months, I’m gonna look back on that moment, and be like, thank God I walked through it. I didn’t decide to hide or not deal with the problem at hand, whatever it is, but actually choose to go through it. And that’s how I grew. And I feel like that just overall, especially in the world right now, I think it’s important that we just learn to walk through the fire and not hide away from it, or shy away from it. That’s just optimism. It’s probably the most daring thing we can do.”
