Dua Lipa is the pop star of the moment, but that doesn't stop her being very superstitious. The 'New Rules' singer recently explained her superstitions in an interview with fellow pop star Katy Perry for V magazine. Dua Lipa revealed to Katy how she has a ritual before going on stage and if she doesn't follow it she thinks her performance will go wrong.
Speaking to Katy, Dua said, "First I’ll warm up, drink lots of tea, hang out with my band. If people in the room have anything in their cups, they aren’t allowed to cheers. Not just before a show, but ever."
She went on to explain why saying, "Before a show in Stockholm, my band thought it’d be funny to cheers with water before our show. I was so mad at them, and we went onstage and literally everything went wrong. Everything."
Dua then admitted that she was so nervous before her BRIT Awards performance that she wore her knickers inside out! She explained to Katy, "I was so worried that I was gonna jinx my performance by being so nervous—so I wore my knickers inside out, under my outfit."
She needn't have worried though, Dua gave an amazing performance of 'New Rules' which you can watch below.
On the night, Dua won two BRIT Awards, for Best British Female and Best British Breakthrough Act. During one of her acceptance speeches the 'IDGAF' singer brought her younger brother and sister onto the stage. Our reporter later caught up with the BRIT Award singer to ask her our her siblings felt, hear what she had to say below.
