Dua Lipa Reflects On Becoming A ‘Humiliating’ Meme After Awards Show Fail

The pop star addressed the internet’s hate for her dance moves.

Dua Lipa is reflecting on the emotional trauma she endured after the internet poked fun at her dancing skills and immortalized her into a meme.

The “humiliating” meme kicked off years ago after Lipa posted her 2018 BRIT Awards performance of “New Rules” on YouTube. In the comments section, a viewer chided her writing, “I love her lack of energy, go girl give us nothing!” which spawned the viral phrase.

Fans quickly ran with the cheeky comment, subsequently using it to describe various low-energy performances from other musicians.

Unfortunately for Lipa, the meme attached itself to her longer than she hoped after clips of her looking bored while doing an aggressive hip swivel during a separate performance sparked more online hate.

In a new interview with The Guardian, the Albanian singer opened up about how the “hurtful” incident left her in shambles.
