A singer looked unrecognisable as she shared a throwback photo from her childhood on Saturday. 

Celebrating an old friend’s birthday, the chart-topping musician could be seen posing back-to-back with her pal. 

‘Can’t blaaady believe it! 24 years of friendship getting crazier by the minute. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next 30,’ she wrote. 

Another showed the girls smiling in an old print out from a ‘kiss me quick’ photo booth. 

But, can you guess who it is?

That’s right, it’s Dua Lipa!

The singer celebrated her friend Mia’s birthday at the weekend and marked the occasion with some throwbacks. 

It comes after fans speculated that Miley Cyrus’ new 80s-inspired pop song, Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved, is about her alleged feud with Dua. 

Although you might expect the famous duo behind the hit song “Prisoner” to be connected for life or at least remain friendly, a new song hints at a different reality.

Rumors are swirling based on certain lyrics in the song: ‘She speaks the perfect French / She can dance the night away / And still, she’ll never break a sweat.’

To some, these could easily be vague references. But others were quick to point out that Dua fits this description almost exactly. 

She’s shown off her French-speaking skills in a remix of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s Talk Talk, and her song Dance the Night from the Barbie soundtrack seems to be clearly referenced.

The final line – about not breaking a sweat – has been interpreted in several ways, with some reading it as a subtle dig referencing a viral meme that once poked fun at Dua’s lackluster dancing.

There is also the possibility that the lyric reflects a deeper comparison between the two artists. 

While Lipa is known for her cool, composed stage presence, Miley has been more open about the emotional and physical effort she puts into her performances. 

Some listeners believe the lyric may be less about criticising Dua and more about Cyrus examining her own feelings of insecurity or competition.

So where would this alleged feud have come from?

Though the two haven’t had any public issues, it’s worth noting that the two haven’t collaborated since their 2020 song Prisoner – and haven’t publicly interacted much since then.

Also, fans noticed that recently Prisoner’s song credits were changed.

Miley is now listed as only the featured artist on the track, even though it was originally hers – and she wrote it. 

These combined occurrences have caused fans to call Miley out for the speculated shade. 

Fans speculated that the lyrics 'she speaks the perfect French' and 'she can dance the night away' are reference to Lipa

‘She’s so obsessed I can’t,’ one X (formerly Twitter) user commented, followed by a crying face emoji.

Another user mirrored the sentiment, simply writing, ‘obsession.’ 

Some fans were shocked at how obvious the reference seemed to be.

‘This actually being the real lyrics lmfao she needs to get over whatever happened between them,’ one user wrote.
