As Dua Lipa prepares to go on tour in September 2021, she has used a meme that criticized her performance at the 2018 Brit Awards as inspiration to make sure her live shows wow her audience. 

"You want to show that you're here to stay and you want to show that it's not just about one album or one big song or whatever it is," she told Vanity Fair. "I just wanted to make sure that this time around, I was very much in control of the fact that I'm going to do the music, then I'm going to rehearse. And then when I come in and I do the performances, they're all going to be amazing. I'm going to prove to people that I can do this and that I'm here to stay."

Lipa has already earned high marks for her performances at the Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and the 2021 Brit Awards (per People). And she even believes that her tour's delay due to the pandemic has helped her prepare. "I am also grateful today as I feel I can add new dimensions to my performances and tour. It's like it all happens a year late, which is even more exciting," she said.
