Dua Lipa is ready to laugh about a dance move that trolls previously said looked like she was ‘trying to put her shoe on in a rush or something.’
During Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 26-year-old singer reflected on her once ridiculed choreography during an early performance.
‘The reason we’re talking about it is because I brought it back. I’m doing it on my tour,’ she said of her quirky dance step that got made fun of in 2018.

She added: ‘I’m reclaiming it because there was a moment where it actually caused me a lot of grief. Like I was being bullied online. It wasn’t very nice, but now I can look at it from a different perspective.’
‘I look back on it with such fondness because it helped me grow into the artist I wanted to become. It made me work harder. I went in, I did more rehearsal. I just wanted to become a real performer and I think that was the thing I needed,’ the performed concluded.
As of lately, the pop star has been earning praise for her dancing after kicking off her Future Nostalgia tour earlier this week. \

While on the late night show, she also spoke with Fallon about getting to collaborate with Elton John on their hit track Cold Heart.
‘I’m so lucky to have so many pinch-me moments in my life,’ the Levitating crooner gushed.
In June, the New Rules hitmaker thanked her critics for the ‘online abuse’ over her dancing and stage presence that prompted her to ‘get better.’
‘The reason we’re talking about it is because I brought it back. I’m doing it on my tour,’ she said of her viral dance step
The superstar said that ‘getting bullied online made her want to dance her a*** off’, as she reacted to the negative comments about her early performances.
As Dua rose to mainstream consciousness, she was plagued with comments from cruel trolls who said she had ‘tragic’ dancing skills, and ‘dodgy’ live performances.
At the time, Dua said: ‘Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been listening to my music from the very beginning.

‘It’s been four years since my debut album and I’m so grateful for all the incredible opportunities and amazing people I’ve met and incredible lessons I’ve learned, touring for like three years, getting bullied online, which made me want to dance my a**e off, and just really get better, so thank you so much.
‘For all things good and bad – for helping me grow. I’m forever grateful, and I’m excited for you guys to see what we’ve got coming up next.
As well as talking to her fans, Dua also posted a screenshot of the iconic album cover, and penned: ‘4 years since the release of my debut album. Thank you to everyone that has been here for the whole journey so far.
A fighter: In June, the singer thanked her critics for the ‘online abuse’ they gave her over her dancing and stage presence as she admitted it made her ‘get better’
‘I’m so grateful for this album and all the incredible people I met and the lesson I learned.
‘I would never have been able to make Future Nostalgia if it wasn’t for this album. I guess 4 years really do fly by when you’re having fun.’
Previously talking about her trolling experience with Attitude magazine last year, Dua said: ‘I experienced a s*** tonne at the end of my first record, and it was definitely something that gave me anxiety and made me upset and made me feel like I wasn’t good enough and made me feel like, maybe I’m not meant to be here and on the stage,’ she recalls.
Addressing the backlash: The Grammy-winning singer, thanked both her fans and haters last year
‘Even after the Grammys, some people were like, ‘Well, she doesn’t deserve it.’
‘There were so many things, especially when you start out, like a video of me dancing and they’re like, ‘Ah well, she has no stage presence’ – but they’d never been to one of my shows, they’d never seen me perform.’
Dua went on to reveal that for a period of time the abuse ‘messed with her mental health’, and she became convinced people were only filming her to they could later laugh at her.
Trolls: As Dua rose to mainstream consciousness, she was plagued with comments from cruel trolls who said she had ‘tragic’ dancing skills, and ‘dodgy’ live performances
Although she had a tough time, Dua admitted at the time that it made her stronger.
In the past, Dua has also spoken about how male pop stars receive far less scrutiny than their female counterparts.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Dua said: ‘There is a lot less scrutiny of male pop stars… People like to just objectify women, before explaining the impact.

‘Online criticism can make you feel like you’re not good enough, so I was nervous. It felt like a breeding ground for hate and stopped me being proud of my achievements.
‘Instead of feeling something was amazing, it made me feel I wasn’t worth it…we have to protect our mental health.
‘I wish social media companies could make it a safer space. It’s just become unkind,’ insisted the star.’
