I really think if a new one is going to work, Dua is one of those that will be a success! So yes!!!
Posted by: John-James 15th August 2017, 07:35 PM
Wow she actually got one to herself! I thought you were joking
Love me some Dua, first heard about her in November 2015, slightly emotional thinking about the fact she'll have a #1 on Friday
Posted by: Jade 16th August 2017, 02:32 AM
Good luck guys! I'm sure this forum is in very safe hands as you both do a cracking job with your respective AFs. Looking forward to seeing it grow.
Can't wait to tune into the chart on Friday and most likely hear Dua at #1 'New Rules' has overthrown 'Unforgettable' as my favourite song in the top 40 at the moment.

Great article! So true about the power of a good music video and how New Rules is a turning point for her as an artist.

Really love that article, it's put it more eloquently than I ever could! Just goes to show how important a video is still, in a time where music videos seem to be an afterthought and released months after a song's peaked.

Yeah! She sounded great on all three, I think the reason that I dislike "Homesick" so much is because of Chris's mumbling throughout so without him it sounded much better. "New Rules" was also much better than the Jonathan Ross performance:

Dua's performing on Jimmy Kimmel next Wednesday!
Posted by: deepinside 11th February 2018, 02:01 PM
Done some random search on Google today and below is the brief information for her company. (Dua Lipa Limited)
Rumours have been swirling about Dua Lipa recording the next Bond theme song, but are they true? The New Rules singer has spoken out.
Chatting with Billboard on the Billboard Music Awards red carpet, Dua said that she hadn't recorded anything... yet.
“I don’t know. I would love to do it, but I’m not recording it… so far… I don’t want to jinx it. I would love to do it.”
Stating your interest isn't grounds for jinxing anything, is it? Has Dua just alluded that talks have been taking place? Only time will tell.
Dua is currently Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart alongside Calvin Harris with One Kiss. The collab is the biggest chart-topper of 2018 so far, and is heading for a sixth week at the top on this week's Official Chart Update.
Later this month, Dua is performing at the opening ceremony of the UEFA Champions League - back of the net!
It would be 100 times better than Sam Smith!!

Dua is announcing something tomorrow morning.
The re-release package?
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 3rd September 2018, 03:47 PM
I assume she's going to do that too, despite she said that it was a lil announcement though.
Either way, in case it's a re-release package, I hope she also does a standalone EP, something similar like The Fame and The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga. Also, I guess that there will be four tracks on it ("Want To", "Running", "Kiss And Make Up" and the live version of "New Rules"), although I hope that "Bang Bang" will also be there too.

Posted by: Dexton 3rd September 2018, 04:04 PM
She really does not strike me as the sort of artist to perform a Bond theme... Writings On The Wall was terrible but Sam Smith could have done way better with it and he did suit the part.

I'm about the same age as Ellie, GaGa, Rihanna & Katy so I felt the same as you a decade ago.

Her clothes collection with Pepe Jeans launches this Tuesday.
Dua Lipa recently did an interview for Attitude and it's amazing. https://attitude.co.uk/article/exclusive-dua-lipa-on-pride-healing-a-broken-heart-and-her-favourite-lgbtq-artists/23184/
Some quotes from it here:
QUOTE
No pressure with this next question… favourite song of ALL TIME? Oh. My. God. That’s so hard.
We didn’t say this was going to be easy, Dua. F***, I really can’t choose one… 'Clint Eastwood' by Gorillaz is one of my favourite songs, but then also 'All Good Things (Come to an End)' by Nelly Furtado, and 'Promiscuous Girl' is a f***ing bop. There is no way [I can pick one]. Let’s narrow it down a bit. Favourite song to cry along to? 'All Good Things' by Nelly! It’s such a real and beautiful song - why do all good things come to an end? You could be the happiest person in the world, then that song comes on and you’re like [pretends to get emosh]: 'But what if?!'
On the flipside, what is your favourite song to lift you up when you’re feeling down? 'Disco Tits' by Tove Lo. It says it [all] in the name. It gets you up and dancing. A lot of fun.
The context behind that question is that Jess didn’t know the name of your new album or how to say your name. Your fans were not happy. That’s so random. Why was she talking about me?
And not Nelly F being also one of the fave artists for her can't help but stan this girl

Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 20th July 2020, 12:10 AM
She's just using her platform to put Kosovo on a map...and she's doing much better job than Kosovo politicians herself lol.
And all those people posting on her IG are just people who have nothing else going on and I am not expecting this to do any damage to her image!!!
Posted by: Bré 20th July 2020, 01:59 AM
Idk, I'm sure she didn't have bad intentions but the image she posted seems to be pretty heavily associated with far right ultranationalists which isn't really a great look for her.
I'm also not an expert on this obviously but the main point of contention seems to be that the map is claiming territory as part of a 'Greater Albania' in areas that have no history of being Albanian.
Posted by: Iz~ 20th July 2020, 03:37 AM
There's been a bit of otherBalkan-Albanian tension in recent days from what I've seen, a Republika Srpska politician posting a tweet that began 'Albanians should be accepted as equal human beings, but...', the North Macedonian elections (where an Albanian party is needed to finish the coalition of government but the main Albanian party has ruled out going with the two biggest parties), and now this...
It's likely she does hold the views that Albanians should unite to be in a state separate from the ethnicities around who clearly hate them. Couldn't ascribe any further meaning to that. I doubt she wants bloodshed, I don't think that a hypothetical Greater Albania would be necessarily worse to non-Albanians living there - most of those borders do just go into Albanian ethnic territory - than the countries bordering them already are to Albanians living in their territory. But yes, it does have some dodgy associations, mostly because to achieve those borders would require a bloody war.
gotta love it when a pop star starts an ethnicity argument
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 20th July 2020, 04:01 AM
Yeap.
The map shows all the territories where albanians live today but also historically land that were axed from Albania centuries ago. Of course if you ask those from neighboring countries historically albanians never existed so longstory short, it's complicated and none of us should really judge her for having feelings about it!!! I am sure she is as much frustrated as majority of Albanians and especially Kosovo people for constantly fighting for recognition.
It's really deeper than just one post.
Sorry for getting emotional myself as well since it's really sensitive topic.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 21st July 2020, 03:20 AM
This is a very wide topic to be honest. I also can't give any proper opinion because I'm not truly informed about the matter, but I don't think Dua wanted to post something negative or imply the Greater Albania movement in the Balkans, despite that picture can say otherwise.

So North Macedonia politically is basically like Northern Ireland then in that parties of both ethnicities are needed to form a government?
I have thought it a bit strange that Kosovo became independent and didn't just join with Albania.

I’m trying my best to understand the Albania/Kosovo situation but it’s something that requires more than 5 minutes of googling to have even a remote idea of it. I’ve some people try their best to cancel her but I’m not convinced she’s done anything wrong. Apparently her opinion as extremely common in Albania.

No, it's just that the most recent election last week ended up with the two biggest general parties short of a majority and the two Albanian-interest parties (third and fourth) each have enough seats to get either of the big parties over the line - but the third-placed one made their coalition demand 'have an Albanian as PM', which was refused and now I'm not sure what's going on, just that their next government will need to have Albanian ethnic party in government or fresh elections.
The Kosovo situation is very delicate and would very likely, I think, become incredibly volatile if Kosovo just became part of Albania, that's even less likely than Serbia recognising Kosovo.
Nice and expected to see Dua issue a PR thing about it anyway.

Dua's interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was uploaded on their YouTube channel. She talked about election, Future Nostalgia, Club Future Nostalgia and Studio 2054. "Fever" received a shout-out, but "Levitating" didn't.
It’s entirely a right to be able to love who you want, not just because I have friends in the LGBTQ community, but because we’re all human and we deserve it. It’s something I feel very connected to and will continue to fight for.
To be able to use my platform to spread awareness, show support, talk about it, to make people feel seen, heard and safe, to communicate with charities and try to do my part as much as I can… I see that as my duty.
I’m just grateful to have such an incredible community filled with so much love, so much enthusiasm, so much creativity – you know how you go, ‘sugar and spice makes everything nice?’ That’s what the gay community has.
We love a LGBT ally

From her Vogue India interview:
QUOTE
I wish that in the eyes of the media, those efforts were recognized. Female artists are put under a microscope. Their talent comes last. They get talked about more for their outfit than their performance. That would never happen to a male artist.
We need to see equal amounts of men and women in the industry, racial audits need to be done, we need to see women in higher-up places. There need to be more women in studio settings to help young female artists feel more comfortable.

2 posts of her with the Hadids who are basically her family now and you've gone off her? I don't see how that's disrespectful - she and Anwar are basically tied to the hip since lockdown and she's been in the US to promote anyway
Dua promoted her album from an Airbnb flat in London for most of 2020 let's not forget!
When restrictions were eased she flew to the US, promoted Levitating there, and moved in with the Hadids, spent Christmas with them. Now they go to a house in Mexico, the neighboring country, and people are calling her out for "TRAVELLING DURING A PANORAMA"
Posted by: Addy! 12th January 2021, 05:21 PM
Travels is still safe to be honest.
Maybe I am in different mindset since I work for airline (currently on leave) but I have travelled already 4 times since pandemic started...I do often tests especially before, during and after travels!!!
Posted by: HarryBorelli 12th January 2021, 05:36 PM
Travelling whilst safe is also not responsible too? Like esp if you have a big platform you could encourage people to not be safe while in another country. Idk i trust that she is keeping herself and others safe but its still not the best encouragement for her fans idk maybe just me.

She is getting dragged on Twitter and rightly so, travelling all over the world (again..) while proudly posting all those picture over your social media is absurd and damn ignorant. I LOVE her, but I am definitely losing respect for her with her behaviour. First the birthday party in the summer, then her travels to a tropical island, now the holiday pictures again- what is she even thinking.
Posted by: Liam.k. 14th January 2021, 12:15 PM
As ever with these cases, it's the sanctimonious attitude of these celebrities that I find most off-putting. They preach to us about coronavirus and sticking to the rules, sometimes shaming others for breaking them, yet use their privileges to do what they want. Ordinary people are really suffering, I'm not surprised when there's backlashes like this because people are fed up with being patronised.
I'm still a Dua fan, but I hope she's getting a reality check.
Posted by: k👠th 14th January 2021, 12:50 PM
"Travelling all over the world" is a bit of an exaggeration. She and Anwar had a quarantine break in St Lucia in July on their way back to the US where she has been until now.
This is clearly a private family holiday, they've done the tests and the public aren't at risk.
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 14th January 2021, 12:59 PM
With all due respect Kath, I think you need to take off your blind stan glasses. I know you're not from the UK, but we all have a stay at home order and she's been preaching about staying at home, having an animated video due to Hallucinate because of Covid and she has been posting up pictures and videos of her travelling, seeing others when that's against the rules - you can't travel unless work related and can't see anyone unless they live by themselves.
She may not be putting anyone at risk but can't you see how it's kind of disrespectful to her fans who haven't seen people in months and are making constant sacrifices. It'll make other younger fans think it's okay to go on holiday and be with family now when deaths are at their highest.
I'm not wanting to cancel her or anything, just some accountability would be nice. I'm still a fan of her music and this won't stop that.

I can understand where you're coming from, however, I don't think Dua has permanently been living in the UK since July ? She moved in with Anwar in the US and has been traveling safely within the regulations set in the US (and now Mexico).
I don't see how she is disrespecting anyone or being irresponsible/bending rules because she's a celeb by seeing her family privately if it's within the leisure travel regulations of Mexico and US states she's traveling between? For what must she be held accountable for then?
Dua also hasn't seen her family since June and had to spend Christmas with Anwar's family. She was supposed to move back to the UK this month to see them but it wasn't possible due to the lockdown and her parents came to her instead...

Uh, not at all. She also went for a while to London in the autumn. The live stream was even filmed there, so she has definitely been around the world. I honestly don't understand why you keep defending her. I am also a big fan of hers, so I am definitely not hating on her, but she is completely selfish (just like Rita, Madonna) and live in her own bubble. People have to obey such strict rules and she just gives big middle finger to them, living her priviliged live with her anti-vaccin boyfriend.

She wasn't living permanently in London in autumn, she was there for work (to film Studio 2054 and the award show performances) and then went back to the US.
How is she giving a middle finger or being disrespectful if she is adhering to all the travel rules and regulations that are there for everyone and not just celebs? Where are people getting that narrative from? Just because the UK has a stay-at home lockdown now doesn't mean the rest of the world does too?
Honestly feels like people will jump at anything to call out somebody without knowing the facts or the backstory.
Posted by: Addy! 14th January 2021, 05:22 PM
I agree with Kath.
I don’t think she should be held responsible for what is happening anywhere in the world except for her own safety and others around her. I am sure she checks and does tests regularly to make sure she isn’t spreading or hurting anyone around her.
I know I am doing the same and everyone in my circle. The only difference is that no one cares about what I do and don’t lol because I don’t have 58 million followers!!!
Posted by: Liam.k. 14th January 2021, 05:39 PM
The problem is that celebrities like to tell us all to stick to the rules, stay at home otherwise xyz will happen but then it's discovered that they're the ones breaking the rules. I see your arguements for why Dua is being careful or sticking to the appropriate rules of each country etc. and that may be true, but the general public don't have the same privileges and there's been so many examples of celebrities blatantly not adhering to the rules that I think people have had enough and they'll call out any behaviour where they feel they've been patronised or mocked.
I'm not personally bothered whether celebrities use their privileges (so long as they're still being careful and whatnot), but don't be telling everyone else how to behaviour otherwise you'll be called out for being a hypocrite.
Posted by: Addy! 14th January 2021, 05:41 PM
I want to add one thing though, she should be more aware of the situation and whether post about it or not. Sometimes it’s for the best to keep some things to yourself!!!
That’s my only critique for Dua!!!

There's no proof that she's using celebrity privileges to travel or break any rules because Leisure travel is allowed in the US state Dua came from and Mexico for the general public.
Dua said people should stay at home when most of the world was in full lockdown, and while that may be the case in the UK now, it isn't the case in the US or Mexico where restrictions eased. She can't be a hypocrite because it's two different situations.

it's crazy that stans are jumping through hoops to defend their fav lol she has evidently broken the rules throughout the pandemic, just accept it?
not even speaking about this occasion, there was a time during the first lockdown she spoke about isolating with her boyfriend and then next day she was celebrating her sister's birthday with her parents during the time that household mixing was completely off limits.
I sort of agree w/what Liam said, I don't actually care, I'm not going to like.. unstan Dua or burn my Future Nostalgia vinyl, I'm just disappointed, especially when she fully advocated to her followers to stay home multiple times.
And even then she's outing HERSELF. this isn't a privacy breach, she's posting her photos and turning off the comments- she's evidently aware. Just.. very privileged behaviour that is kinda ugly.

I'm not jumping through hoops to defend Dua at all, and I can understand how vacation pics can upset people during this time and agree she should not have posted them.
However, where is the proof that she has broken any regulations for this private vacation?

Spoke of? Dua and Anwar did isolate in the Airbnb flat for the first UK lockdown. They didn't just "speak of it". And family meetings were allowed at the time of Rina Lipa's birthday (announced on 11 May and Rina's birthday was on 15 May)
It feels like people are following each other in jumping to a lot of conclusions and doing this witch hunt on Dua in an attempt to appear "woke". I would also turn off my comments if I were her.

She has been posting holiday pictures, AGAIN. At this point I'm not even sure if she's either just v ignorant, just not very smart, or both. For an artist who has run, and is still running, such an amazing album campaign, you would think people around her would also advice want to not post on the socials. Rita could 'cancelled' for a lot less. I mean, I still love her music and her as well, but at the same time it's also making me incredibly frustrated.
Posted by: Addy! 22nd January 2021, 03:55 PM
People in and out of US are traveling and I think she's taking advantage of that.
Planes are getting filled to Mexico and Caribbeans since they started allowing people from US to travel in those countries with 72 hours pre-flight negative test. Now starting January 26th passengers also need a negative test to enter back in US.
I know this is not an excuse if one should travel during pandemic but it's just a human nature I guess, taking advantage of anything that comes as an opportunity!!!
Posted by: k👠th 22nd January 2021, 04:51 PM
Restrictions are eased for a reason to allow travel and holidays. She isn't breaking rules in the US or Mexico. She is allowed to leave the house and go on holiday.
It's not the same like Rita who breached lockdown rules twice in the UK. Dua is not in a lockdown in the UK since July last year. When will people start realizing this

It's not even about breaking the rules, is it? The US is one of the worst hit countries in the world, the fact that their government did not put on a lockdown doesn't mean that you should travel all over the place, and then post it all over social media as well, when you know you have a big influence. It's arrogant and unacceptable behaviour.

I disagree. Eased travel restrictions are there for a reason, not for people to stay at home but to support a dying hospitality industry and prevent the millions of job losses its suffering (including mine).
Dua Lipa shouldn't be shamed for having a private holiday in Mexico when it's within regulations. People don't know the safety measures and testing that's being done. Airlines and hotels have the strictest of protocols. If she didn't care about the pandemic and regulations, why would she take legal action against the British media for their fake news about her breaking pandemic rules?

100% agreed.
My job is in the same position (airline industry) and airlines are constantly advising people that travels are safe as long as you follow simple safety measures (keep your mask on, avoid large gatherings with strangers and get tested before and after travels).
Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd January 2021, 06:37 PM
It's not technically against the rules, no, but it's still disappointing that she's not taking a pandemic seriously. Even if she insists on going on holiday, she could do it without showing everything off on Instagram - it's not a great look when so many people are taking the pandemic seriously and have had holidays cancelled. The UK's her best market and we're in another lockdown with nearly 2000 people dying every day, most of us are complying and are barely even leaving our houses, yet Dua's showing off her holiday pics. It's quite insensitive and it's not a good look even if she is being safe - this is evident on Twitter where the vast majority of people are rightfully disappointed in her.
I'm not cancelling her and I won't stop being a fan, I LOVE Dua, but I don't really like the approach she's taking here as it's coming across as selfish.
Posted by: Addy! 22nd January 2021, 06:43 PM
I think you’re taking it a little too far for saying that she doesn’t take pandemic seriously when we all know how hard she worked during these difficult times promoting her music and even held a TV concert and give a lot to her fans, while always making sure all the proper safety measures were taken...and then the moment she enjoyed a little time off she’s selfish!!
Edit:
I also noticed that no one actually jumped to other celebrities for posting vacation pics, I don’t follow a lot of them but I noticed Britney have posted about her Hawaii vacation!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I am obviously still a fan, if I was not a fan I wouldn't even post in here, but the fact how some of her fans in here keep defending her while literally everyone online is saying she is being irresponsible, says a lot.
Like I said, it's not even about going on holiday. Britney, who was mentioned here as well, did go on holiday with Sam, just the two of them, and that's all good and well. Dua goes with different groups of people, posting pictures where everyone is hugging each other, partying as if nothing in the world is happening. And yes, maybe she is being very careful, but she knows she has influence. And people, especially young fans, see her out and about all the time and think that is okay. And then we haven't even touched on her anti-vaccin partner. It's just all very disappointing behaviour, especially when I usually think Dua comes across as very smart and considering of a lot of issues.
Posted by: Addy! 22nd January 2021, 07:41 PM
I am only defending her for being labeled as irresponsible or selfish because she did take a vacation.
I am sure during her album campaign, shooting music videos, having a concert, photo shootings for magazines etc etc involves hundreds and hundreds of people, much more than the people she went on her vacation with...now are artists also irresponsible for working and having all these people around them involving the same risk or you all keep seeing just one side of the coin aka leisure travel!!!
Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd January 2021, 08:18 PM
To be fair, there is quite a difference between work and leisure. The advice in the UK at least is "work from home if you can" - a lot of the jobs that a singer has to do cannot be done from home. This is why TV series and films are continuing to shoot under covid-safe conditions as well. However, leisure is not work and holidays are being cancelled for so many people right now. They're not comparable things at all.

If anything the online reaction proves Dua's point of how toxic social media and cancel culture has become. The way people are going on about her posting a few vacation pics is honestly ridiculous.
People online and on Twitter are well known to have a go at someone over almost anything for retweets and likes but this is on another level. The name calling, spreading of fake news and witch hunting that's going on is awful and I hope Dua isn't taking it to heart for her own mental health's sake.
She's allowed to have this vacation because of current regulations and she deserves it after the lengths she's gone through this year to promote this album from an Airbnb flat in isolation, to the extra budgets and protocols of filming music videos and performances during a pandemic, but people have all conveniently forgot about that now because of this "unacceptable", "ugly" and "selfish" behavior :')

but it involves the same risks hence why they are comparable. The virus doesn't know/choose if one is working or leisuring!!!
Holidays are cancelled for some, just as work is cancelled for others due to virus. Now just because my work is cancelled does it mean no one else can work and all the TV production be cancelled?!
People are attacking Dua for leisuring but not for working. This whole cancel culture is double standard!!!

People are attacking Dua for leisuring but not for working. This whole cancel culture is double standard!!!
Of course not, but it's about reducing opportunities for the virus to spread. Work is necessary and the music business cannot grind to a halt entirely, especially when touring is unavailable for the foreseeable, but leisure CAN be avoided. There aren't any double standards, it's about looking at what risks are worth taking. If Dua wants to risk the virus by travelling and socialising then that's her decision but it's a terrible example to set.

So Dua going on private holiday with friends and family at a house in Mexico where it's allowed makes her terrible example? How? She isn't putting the public at risk and you don't know the protocols and testing that's being done there.
I agree with Addy, it's all very the pot calling the kettle black. And just because Twitter (of all places) is dragging her doesn't make it right and everyone else must do it as well.

to be honest work can be avoided too in the event of preventing spread of virus!!!
Leisure travel is allowed in US and not to mention that her work description constantly requires to travel and socialize with others (and that's for everyone involved in the same industry as hers)...with that being said I don't see how is that any different from her Mexico leisure travels!!!

QUOTE
When designing La Vacanza, Donatella and I dreamed of days by the pool and the sea, of dancing until the end of summer nights. The show will take you on an immersive journey to discover the ultimate Versace vacation wardrobe - which is sexy, seductive and full of confidence.
Back in October of last year, I started making little sketches and would show it to Donatella and ask, ‘What do you think?’ I really can’t draw at all, but it was enough; we found a common language and were able to bounce off ideas.

Pop star with a soft spot for sports cars: Dua Lipa and Porsche join forces
Dua Lipa has always been a fan of sports cars – and the Porsche brand in particular. Which is why the singer-songwriter and the sports car manufacturer are joining forces.
After attending the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans in the summer, the now 28-year-old has immersed herself in the world of racing and Porsche's unique history. At the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles, she had the opportunity to experience the thrill of driving a Porsche for herself, when she got behind the wheel of an all-electric Taycan and both a current and historic 911.
The musician, who has a huge global fanbase, says about the partnership with the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer: “Getting to know the Porsche team and digging into the brand’s legacy has only further solidified my love for them. Between Le Mans this summer and recently getting to experience the power of an all-electric Porsche first-hand in LA, I’m so excited to see how many other once in a lifetime moments are born from our partnership.“
What exactly this will involve has yet to be revealed, but details on the planned collaborations will be shared soon.
Tabloids were reporting in August that it's a brand deal worth $700m

Discovering Porsche with Dua Lipa Global pop phenomenon Dua Lipa starts her Porsche journey with all the feels
The story starts here. Join chart-topping, Grammy Award-winning British singer-songwriter Dua Lipa as she visits the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles.
Hands firmly gripping the steering wheel of a Porsche Taycan Turbo saloon, launch control engaged, Dua Lipa awaits the go ahead from the Porsche Drive Coach sitting next to her. Ahead of Dua is the long Acceleration Straight at the Porsche Experience Center LA. “Three… two… one… RELEASE THE BRAKE!”
As the full power of Launch Control kicks in, it sends the chart-topping British singer-songwriter up the straight at a speed that will see her hit 100km/h in a touch over three seconds. As she engages the brakes and begins to slow, a grin appears on Dua’s face.
Ready for take-off: Dua Lipa prepares to experience the power of Launch Control in a Porsche Taycan Turbo
“That was really exciting,” says a smiling Dua. “I think we’re going to have to do that again! I feel like I was flying. My heart was…” Dua clutches her hand to her chest to mimic the action of a beating heart.
Dua spent a day getting to grips with Porsche at the Porsche Experience Center LA
Born and brought up in London, the daughter of Kosovo Albanian parents, Dua Lipa has become a global pop phenomenon since debuting with her eponymously titled album in 2017. In just a short space of time, there have been three Grammy Awards, six Brit awards and even two Guinness World Records. Such success requires dedication, of course – although that obviously means that Dua values those moments when she can switch off and just have fun. And right now, right here, she is certainly having that – just like the other visitors to the Porsche Experience Center LA, who probably weren’t expecting to find an award-winning music artist joining them to discover Porsche under the Californian sun.
For Dua, today is all about the start of this journey of discovery. Her day – like every visitor to Porsche Experience Centers across the world – is the chance to learn about Porsche and, of course, drive the cars.
This is what it’s like to drive a Taycan Turbo – without using words
Discovering Porsche
What do you drive next after the thrill of experiencing Launch Control in a Taycan Turbo? How about the fastest car in the current Porsche range? Dua has never driven a 911 Turbo S before, but it doesn’t take long before it becomes apparent that they are going to get along famously. There are yelps of excitement as Dua is encouraged to power through a corner to test the astonishing levels of grip. And, on the Low-Friction Circle, where jets of recycled water drench the track to test your handling powers, it soon becomes clear that Dua is having so much fun. As she exits the 911 Turbo S, she looks back and says: “I want to take it home with me.”
Dua Lipa in driver’s seat of Porsche Taycan Turbo
On her day at the Porsche Experience Center LA, Dua discovered Porsche cars new and classic
Dua has spoken many times about her desire to keep on learning, to discover new things. It’s led her to starting her own book club, where each month she recommends a book to her many followers. Learning all about Porsche feels part of that process of discovery. It continues on track with a rather different Porsche to the two modern examples she has just driven.
It’s time for a spot of Porsche history for Dua – and it begins in the form of a 911 Carrera (G-Series) in the particularly eye-catching shade of Oak Green Metallic. Sparkling in the LA afternoon sunshine, it really catches the eye of Dua who, after a quick spin around the track decides that it’s time to take out her phone and snap a few pics of it. “I’m really obsessed with this colour,” she says, placing her hand on the bonnet.
After a run-through session with a Porsche Drive Coach, Dua got behind the wheel and experienced the fun of driving a Taycan first hand
Afterwards, it’s time to head back to the workshop area of the Porsche Experience Center where cars are cared for by Porsche experts. Here, a Porsche 962 racecar that was campaigned in the North America’s IMSA championship from 1984-1986 catches Dua’s eye. She leans down to inspect it further – its sleek profile means that it sits extremely close to the ground – peering into the cockpit, intrigued by its tight, race-focused seating position. It’s another piece of knowledge gathering by the intrigued pop star. This is the start of the story, but Dua Lipa is already all in.

Radical22, Dua Lipa’s independent media and management company, has signed a “one-of-a-kind” administration deal with Warner Chappell Music. The deal will ensure that Dua can retain full ownership of her music and publishing, whilst Warner Chappell manages day-to-day operations for collecting earned revenue on her behalf

Dua Lipa's company Radical22 signs global admin deal with Warner Chappell Music by George Garner April 2nd 2024 at 11:27AM
Radical22, Dua Lipa’s recently launched independent media and management company, has signed a global publishing administration deal with Warner Chappell Music.
Hailed as a “one-of-a-kind, bespoke agreement”, the deal was arranged between Lipa’s manager and fellow Radical22 co-founder Dukagjin (Dugi) Lipa and Warner Chappell Music CEO Guy Moot.
In November last year, we reported that Dua Lipa had acquired the rights to her own songs in a deal with Tap Publishing. The catalogue sale was revealed in a brief statement by Tap. The UK star was previously part of the company’s management and publishing stable.
Speaking about the deal, Dua Lipa said: “It’s been a long road, but I am very happy to finally own my publishing thanks in large part to the dedication of my manager, Dugi’s work over the past two years. My music is my life’s work, and it’s important for me to be the person who decides what happens with it. The creation of Radical22 marked an exciting time for me personally and professionally, and I am looking forward to the work my team and I will do and to having a home base for my creative endeavours.”
Dugi Lipa, CEO of Radical22 added: “In the realm of management, we don't settle for the ordinary; we thrive in the extraordinary. Our leadership ethos is rooted in empowerment, where each member of our team is a torchbearer of creativity and collaboration. We don't just lead, we inspire, cultivating an ecosystem where ideas flow freely, and potential is nurtured ceaselessly.”
In addition to Radical22 Publishing, the new company has added Radical22 Productions under the Radical22 umbrella along with Service95, all of which are fully owned by Dua.
An official press release states that, among the first of Radical22’s production projects, will be the recently announced Disney+ upcoming documentary series Camden. Produced by Lightbox in association with Day One Pictures and Radical22, in which Dua and Dugi both serve as executive producers, the series “tells the story of how one small corner of North London shaped the lives and careers of many of today’s most iconic music acts. Dua also appears on camera to share her own story.”
Lipa will drop her highly-anticipated third album, Radical Optimism, on May 3. Released via Warner Records, the album will feature 11 new songs – including the previously-released Houdini and Training Season – which were made in collaboration with elite songwriters such as Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker.
An official press release states that the record is “Infused with the energy of Dua’s hometown, London" and that it "embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop."
Dua Lipa tells Radio Times that she is willing to receive backlash for speaking out on social issues:
“When I speak about things that are political, I double-, triple-check myself to be, ‘OK, this is about something that is way bigger than me, and it’s necessary – and that’s the only reason I’m posting it.’ That is my only solace in doing that. It’s always going to be met with a backlash and other people’s opinions, so it’s a big decision. I balance it out, because ultimately I feel it’s for the greater good, so I’m willing to [take that hit].”
I love Dua so if you ever need any help I'm happy to!

". 
can't help but stan this girl 
She should've pulled a Mariah "I don't know her" or "I don't listen to bland s**t". 
It really suited her.
so longstory short, it's complicated and none of us should really judge her for having feelings about it!!! I am sure she is as much frustrated as majority of Albanians and especially Kosovo people for constantly fighting for recognition.
