“I loved being on set,” the Grammy-winner said. “I love the idea of embodying a different character and having an assignment.”

She continued, “I also love when I go to a photo shoot, and I can completely change up my look. It gives me like a different persona.”

In addition to Dua‘s role as a mermaid in Barbie, her song “Dance the Night,” from the film’s official soundtrack, was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
