No musician or actor has experienced a career in entertainment quite likeCher.
Responding to another tweeter who tagged Cher in the original post’s replies, she wrote, “How many yrs are in a generation,” alongside a thinking emoji.
Many fans then rallied behind the 76-year-old “Believe” hitmaker, with one Twitter userwriting in response, “I’m with Cher. I hate how quickly some media will crown a newbie the accolades of a legend. They gotta stop. Cher is the Cher of any and all generations. Period.”
Seemingly attempting to explain the comparison to Cher, a fan of both stars shared a collage of photos of Lipa, 27, wearing sparkly, extravagant outfits reminiscent of Cher’s Bob Mackie performance costumes and sporting the legendary entertainer’s signature long, dark, middle-parted hairstyle.

From style to career trajectories, there are certainly a few similarities between the two stars. Cher launched her entertainment career as a singer alongside then-husband Sonny Bono in the 1960s before foraying into television and film the following decade. Lipa, on the other hand, has released two albums and is currently gearing up to make her acting debut in the upcoming spy filmArgylleafter six years in the business. Additionally, both artists have earned a Grammy Award for best dance recording.
More than a half-century into her career, Cher has continuously found success and maintained her A-list celebrity status.
