"South Africa is the most beautiful country I have been to. Canada is also hugely underrated"
About this Quote
The second sentence is the sharper instrument. "Canada is also hugely underrated" is a corrective, a little contrarian, and culturally telling. Canada, especially in British and American pop imagination, gets flattened into politeness, snow, and proximity to the U.S. Blackman’s phrasing pushes back on that lazy shorthand. "Underrated" implies an audience that has failed to see what’s there, which subtly casts her as the seasoned observer rescuing a place from cliché.
Put together, the pair creates a map of taste rather than a map of geopolitics: South Africa as sublime spectacle, Canada as the overlooked character actor of countries - less flashy, more depth than its billing suggests. Coming from a performer associated with glamor and cool command, the effect is to legitimize wonder while keeping it brisk. She isn’t selling a thesis; she’s curating attention, nudging the listener to revise their default settings about what counts as "beautiful" and what we dismiss because it seems familiar.
