People can’t quite tell how Cher feels about Dua Lipa.
On Wednesday, a Twitter user shared a short clip of the 27-year-old singer, writing, “Dua Lipa, the Cher of our generation.”

Some also defended Cher’s legendary status.
It's wild that people are really disrespecting Cher, the queen of longevity.
People wonder why some legends don't fool the newer artists. Part of it is because fans stay trying to push newer artists as the next [insert legend's name here], when said legend is still making music. https://t.co/DVqH44QKsd

Props to her for this. I find the “they’re the new (insert artist)” so offensive especially when the original artist is still alive. https://t.co/fJxixFVVXt
