Whenever Lisa was on stage, she knew how to capture the attention of the audience, proving that she lived up to her title as a global idol. The official page of MTV even exclaimed: “No guitar needed, Lisa is this year’s VMA rock star!”
As soon as she entered backstage, the entire VMA 2024 crew and LLOUD company staff chanted Lisa’s name, celebrating her “amazing” performance as the youngest member of BLACKPINK.
In particular, South African singer Tyla immediately appeared to congratulate Lisa, making her jump in surprise. The two immediately hugged each other tightly after not seeing each other for a while.
Tyla, a South African singer-songwriter born in 2002, debuted with her first single in 2019 and is known for hits such as “Girl Next Door”, “True Or Dare” and “Water”. In 2023, Tyla was on the list of Grammy Award winners in the category of Best African Music Performance with her song “Water”.
Previously, in March 2024, Lisa visited the studio and listened to Tyla’s album. At the time, fans speculated that the two might have a special collaboration in early 2024. Lisa also shared that the two artists she wants to collaborate with are RosalÃa and Tyla. After “New Woman” featuring RosalÃa, BLACKPINK fans are eagerly awaiting a collaboration between Lisa and Tyla.
