Tyla and Blackpink’s Lisa are redefining what it means to be global stars.
They are both from vastly different parts of the world but connected by their passion for music and performance.
TYLA AND LISA’S FRIENDSHIP
Earlier this year, these two powerhouse artists found themselves together in Los Angeles for a spontaneous studio session. This marked the start of a blossoming friendship, according to Rolling Stone.
South African singer Tyla is known for her groundbreaking pop-amapiano hit Water. The South African singer invited Lisa to listen to her debut album.
As the Blackpink star sat down to listen, she was charmed by Tyla’s sweet personality. “You were literally so sweet. It was so cute,” Tyla recalls during a Rolling Stone interview.
TYLA AND LISA’S WORLD DOMINATION
Months later, they reunited for a photo shoot in L.A., creating a whirlwind of camaraderie in front of the camera.
As Lisa posed in a burgundy leather coat, Tyla hyped her up with comments like, “Ooh, she’s eating!” Both Tyla and Lisa have risen to worldwide fame in unique ways.
Lisa, originally from Thailand, is a K-pop sensation, with Blackpink being one of the most successful groups in the world.
Meanwhile, Tyla is making history herself, becoming the first South African artist to chart on Billboard’s Hot 100 in over five decades, according to People.
TYLA AND LISA GET CANDID
The duo’s connection isn’t just built on their shared success, but also their understanding of the challenges that come with being in the public eye.
“There’s no privacy,” Lisa admits. Tyla agrees, acknowledging how fame alters one’s personal life.
Lisa congratulated Tyla for her recent BET Awards wins, including Best New Artist and Best International Act.
Tyla, in turn, praised Lisa’s latest solo release, Rockstar, and admired the Thai elements featured in the video.
CULTURAL APPRECIATION
The two bonded over cultural appreciation, with Tyla sharing her desire to represent South African culture on international stages.
“It’s been such an amazing experience teaching people all our different cultures,” Tyla noted. This highlighted how her music bridges worlds through her vibrant performances.
Despite their busy schedules, both artists make time for rest.
TYLA AND LISA’S LOVE FOR FOOD
Tyla describes her downtime as binging Netflix in bed, while Lisa prefers a quick 15-minute nap before performances.
Their playful banter extended into their love of food, with Lisa sharing her fondness for Thai food. Tyla spoke about South African braais, where flavours and variety take centre stage.
As their careers continue to evolve, Tyla and Lisa are excited about new possibilities.
Lisa, fresh off the success of Rockstar, is working on her first solo album, according to Forbes.
POP ICONS TAKING THE WORLD
Tyla is focusing on promoting her deluxe edition of her album. Could a future collaboration between the two be on the horizon?
With their mutual admiration and creative synergy, fans are eagerly waiting to see what’s next for these global icons.
