Dua Lipa Opens Up About ‘Reclaiming’ a Viral Dance She Did Years Ago During Her Current Tour

Dua Lipa is not letting her past define her future.

While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday, the singer, 26, opened up about a viral clip of her dancing at a concert in 2017 and how she has since reclaimed the dance amid her current Future Nostalgia tour. When pointed out by host Jimmy Fallon that the dance is loved by her fans on social media, the late-night comedian also noted how “haters” said the dance was “lazy” and “uninspired,” before Lipa compared it to putting her shoe on in a rush. As Fallon, 47, asked why people had to be “so mean,” the “Physical” singer explained there are no hard feelings, however. “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. “There was a moment where it actually caused me a lot of grief, like I was being bullied online, it wasn’t very nice,” Lipa added of the dance. “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.”
