Dua Lipa Gets Candid On ‘Reclaiming’ A Viral Dance She Did Years Ago During Her Current Tour

Dua Lipa said that she 'look back at it with such fondness cause it helped her grow into the artist that she wanted to become.'

Dua Lipa has recently opened up about a viral video of her dancing at a concert in 2017 and how she has since reclaimed the dance amid her current Future Nostalgia tour. She was asked why people had to be “so mean,” the singer explained there are no hard feelings, however.

During a recent episode of The Jimmy Fallon Show, Dua stated, “The reason we’re talking about it is because I’ve brought it back, I’m doing it on my tour, I’m reclaiming it,” she said. Dua Lipa went on saying, “There was a moment where it actually caused me a lot of grief, like I was being bullied online, it wasn’t very nice.”

The singer continues, “But now I can look at it from a different perspective. I look back at it with such fondness cause it helped me grow into the artist that I wanted to become, it made me work harder.” Lipa’s Future Nostalgia tour kicked off last month in Miami, Florida in support of the artist’s second studio album of the same name.

The concert series was originally set to begin in 2020 after being announced in December 2019, but was postponed amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. During the show, Lipa performs an array of tracks from her sophomore album, including Levitating, Boys Will Be Boys and Don’t Start Now, where she recreates the now-iconic dance move.
