Dua Lipa's Grammys Performance Was Full Post-Vaccine Club Energy
Me, when that shot hits.
Like you and me, Dua Lipa is ready for this pandemic to be over and hit the club. On Sunday, the singer proved just how much with a performance of “Levitating” and “Don’t Start Now” the 2021 Grammys that screamed "post-vaccine energy." Note her slew of glittery pink disco looks (custom Versace, no less), sparkly magenta eyeshadow, and moves that personified "I'm three drinks on the dance floor, I've hugged 12 strangers, and I haven't hand sanitized once." We love to see it (and cannot wait to experience it).
"Don't Start Now" and don't step away. Keep watching @DUALIPA's medley. #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/dgBjWFqE6hMarch 15, 2021
The internet was so obsessed with the ~ club vibes ~ of it all, and that Lipa brought her dancing A-game to the award show, that "Dula Peep" (her Wendy Williams-prescribed nickname) quickly began tredning on Twitter.
See the best reactions to Dua's performance, Sharpay comparisons and all. And best of luck to the singer who is nominated in six categories, including Album of the Year, tonight. May we all celebrate her wins in a club soon.

The fact that this Dua Lipa album came out with everyone locked in the house is a travesty. Re-release it for the summer imo, we'll all agree to pretend it's newMarch 15, 2021
