Dua Lipa Reclaims Her Viral TikTok Dance

The “Don’t Start Now” singer opens up about how she used the hate to grow.

Once the subject of harsh memes and brutal jokes, Dua Lipa has risen from the ashes and is reclaiming her once-cringey “Don’t Start Now” TikTok dance. In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the sensational singer opened up about the online bullying she faced and how she used her pain to become a better performer. First catching fire online in 2017, the social media app roasted the pop star for her less than stellar choreography and while the YSL Beauty brand ambassador was understandably distraught over the viral moment, she was happy to tell Jimmy Fallon how she’d grown from the moment.

Telling the host, Lipa revealed, “It caused me a lot of grief; I was being bullied online. It wasn’t very nice. I can look at it from a different perspective. I look back on it with such fondness because it helped me grow into the artist I wanted to become.” At the encouragement of the audience, the “Electric” musician gave Fallon a masterclass on the once mocked dance, which Lipa is now working into her “Don’t Start Now” tour. Watch the hilarious video below.
