Du
a Lipa
admits she’s still kicking herself for accidentally starting a pregnancy rumor a week ago.
Speaking on
Jimmy Kimmel Live!
on Monday, the “Levitating” singer opened up about the emoji faux pas that convinced some of her 59 million followers that she had a bun in the oven.
The photo in question,
posted January 5
, was a candid snap of Lipa walking in a green and plaid cut out mini dress — but it was what she put in the caption that stole all the attention.
”
I like finding little random
emojis, I put like a little baby
bottle, little angel, some
sparkles, random…
I really didn’t
think this through and I posted
it and then I look at the
comments,” the 25-year-old singer winced, recalling all the comments asking if she was pregnant.
”
I look at the picture and I
look at the comment, I look at
the comment, I look at the
picture, look at the comment,
I’m like, surely I don’t look
pregnant,” she furthered. ”
I’m like ‘Oh, my god these emojis
have come to bite me in the [butt]… or the stomach!'”
The two-time Grammy Award-winner confessed she “d
eleted the caption
but wasn’t smart enough to take
it off my Twitter,” earning a chuckle from host
Jimmy Kimmel
.
”
Just to clear it up, I’m not
pregnant,” Lipa, 25, insisted before vowing to never announce anything major using emojis because “t
hen I’d be the
boy who cried wolf.”
Lipa also shared more about her Albanian heritage, confessing that she is “quite superstitious.”
She revealed several things she’ll never do, such as take out the trash at night or wash clothes on a Friday.
Lipa also revealed Albanians wear their underwear inside out during special events ”
so that the
evil eye doesn’t get you.”
