Dua Lipa styles out losing her microphone in the crowd
She's on tour in the US
Dua Lipa, known for her hits 'One Kiss' with Calvin Harris, 'Don't Start Now' and 'Cold Heart' with Elton John, had a bit of a mishap while recently performing on tour in Washington DC.
The singer is currently in the US on her 'Future Nostalgia' tour and took to the stage wearing a striking Balenciaga cat suit to sing her break-up anthem, 'New Rules'.
Unfortunately for Dua, at one point in the song she dropped her microphone into the crowd and was unable to find it! Despite this, the singer showed her professionalism and after a quick look around, continued to dance along to her song as the backing track continued.
However, it wasn't long before a member of her crew dressed in black tapped her on the arm with another microphone, just in time for the song to end, with Dua telling her audience: "(Washington) DC, what the f--K?! I got WAY too excited!"
WARNING: There is strong language at the end of this video
The moment was captured by a fan in the crowd who shared the video on Twitter, which has now received more than 34k likes. In the video, the crowd can be heard singing along to Dua's song when it's obvious she can't find the microphone.
Users on Twitter have also commented on how it proved the singer was singing live. One wrote: 'I was there and it was extremely clear she was singing live lol. You hear the mic thud when it falls,' another wrote: 'she handled that super well, still knew she had a show to perform for her fans, i know that’s right miss!' (sic)
Dua is nearly a month into her 'Future Nostalgia' tour which continues across the US before coming to the UK in April. Once in the UK she will be performing in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and more.
