Lipa said to Lowe: “I think everything comes in stages and waves. There can be a moment where people really love you and you feel so supported and you’re like, ‘Oh, this is great.’ Especially in the beginning.
I was doing interviews and people were like, ‘How do you deal with hate?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t get any hate. It’s great.’ And then that changed really quickly.”In the closing minutes of her chat with Zane Lowe, she referenced her Best New Artist win, recalling: “There were people online being like, ‘She’s not deserving of it. She’s got no stage presence.
She can’t do this. She’s not well- equipped to, she won’t be here next year’. “There was a lot of that.
That fuelled me in a way.”She then revealed how she copes with criticism: “I just go, ‘OK, all of this is background noise and I should just stick on my path,” the “Training Season” musician said. “Because every time someone has doubted me, I’ve proved them wrong. And for me, I’m like, this is fueling me.
This is pushing me to be better, to work hard. And I get a real kick out of proving people wrong.”Dua Lipa most recently released the album’s third single, ‘Illusion’. She dropped the album’s first single ‘Houdini’ in early November last year, followed by
