Singer Dua Lipa has opened up about enduring "two years of humiliation" following𒆙 criticism of her dancing and revealed that it wasn't until her comeback withꦕ 'Future Nostalgia' that she regained her confidence.
The singer told the Guardian magazine: "When people took that snippet of me dancing online and just turned it into a meme, and then when I won the best new artist Grammy and people were like, ‘She’s not deserving of it, she’s got no stage presence, she’s not going to stick a꧂round.’ Those things were hꩵurtful. It was humiliating. I had to take myself off Twitter."
She further explained, "The thing that made me the happiest -- performing and writing songs -- was also making me really upset be꧋cause people were picking everything apart that I’d been working on, and I had to le𓃲arn all that in front of everyone."
"In the public eye, I was figuring out who I was as an artist, as a performer. All that was happening whil🎃e I was 22- 23 years old and still growing up. You have to build tough skin. You have to be resilient."
Lipa reflected on the duration of her struggle, stating, "(The humiliation lasted) until I finished writing 'Futᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚure Nostalgia' and did my first performance of 'Don’t Start Now', at the MTV Europe Music Awards. I want to say -- gosh, I don’t know -- t🍎wo years."
"It never was like I couldn’t get out of bed because of what I thought peopl🅰e thought of me. I didn’t 🌊care to that degree. But that’s when it was most heightened for me."
Meanwhile, Lipa has released her third studio album titled 'Radical Optimism' and is set to headline Gl🌸astonbury l🦋ater this summer.
Despite her success, she state🀅d that she is "not surprised" because of her hard work, expres൲sing more excitement about reaching such heights, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
