Dua Lipa became a target of social media trolls after her dance video went viral. Following her live performance at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center in 2018, several netizens mocked and poked fun at her due to the "awkward" dance moves she did.
Two years later, the "Don't Start Now" singer opened up about her experiences, adding that the memes "messed" with her mental health, according to Cheat Sheet. She said that it all gave her "anxiety" and made her feel less confident.
The 25-year-old British artist discussed the aftermath of the debacle with Attitude. She is set to cover the magazine's December issue, wherein she, also, tackled the negative impact of the viral moment she had a few years ago.
Dua Lipa stated that it made her "upset" as she felt she was "not good enough." She even recalled her belief back then that she was not probably meant to be on stage because of the mockeries she obtained.
The "New Rules" singer continued that it impacted her life, especially her mental health, "for a short period of time." During those times, she revealed that cameras filming her would make her think that the audience does it to laugh at her.
Despite the negative experience, Dua countered that she felt "grateful" for it, adding that it made her "so much stronger." She said that it, also, made her much "more confident" after.
Dua Lipa, later on, left a few words for the "keyboard warriors." She urged the critics and trolls to "lay down" their respective weapons and understand that "people make mistakes."
The "IDGAF" singer, also, asked that everyone should "learn from each other," and "teach" others, as well. There is too much "meanness" and "judgment," and cancel culture is "toxic" and "dangerous."
Dua Lipa, nevertheless, is having a "momentous year." She released her latest album, Future Nostalgia, earlier in March, and made several virtual performances.
While she is supposed to take on a tour this year, she had to postpone the event due to the pandemic crisis. Because of her "determination" to connect with her fans and supporters, she scheduled a live virtual concert event this November, according to PRNewsWire.
The official press release states that Dua is inviting her fans to witness and join her at Studio 2054. It, also, says that the event will be a night of music, performance, dance, and "mayhem."
The virtual event features a set of "surprise guest artists." It will air in four time zones, including countries of the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Asia Pacific.
