CAREER

In 2015, 19-year-old Dua Lipa signed a recording contract with Warner Music Group. This event marked the beginning of her dizzying musical career. In the same year, the first two singles of the singer ("New Love" and "Be the One") were released, which soared into the top ten of the European charts.

Already during this period, Dua Lipa's musical style took shape, which she herself defines as "dark pop". Her music actively uses electronic rhythms and synthesizers, and the arrangement most often includes electric guitars, drums and piano. Music critics and fans note the passion, expression and courage that is felt in every song of Dua. Although the first studio album entitled "Dua Lipa" was released only on June 2, 2017, by that time the British singer was already widely known in Europe, North America and Australia. The singles "Last Dance" (February 18, 2016) and "Hotter Than Hell" (May 6, 2016) made it possible to gain popularity in the UK, and "Blow Your Mind" (August 26, 2016), in turn, appealed to listeners in North America.

As part of the album, Dua Lipa's most famous song "New Rules" was also released for the first time. It is noteworthy that the video clip for this hit has collected more than 1 billion 300 million views on YouTube, thanks to which in 2018 Dua became the youngest pop singer, whose video scored more than 1 billion views. Music critics and fans note the passion, expression and courage that is felt in every song of Dua. A significant moment in the singer's career and a kind of symbol of her recognition in most of the world was Dua's participation in the opening ceremony of the Champions League football final at the Olimpiysky Stadium in Kyiv on May 26, 2018. In front of the assembled audience, the vocalist performed with the single "New Rules" mentioned above.

Separately, it is necessary to mention that in 2018 Dua Lipa won the prestigious British music awards ceremony "Brit Awards" in two categories at once - "Breakthrough of the Year" and "Best British Performer".

DUA LIPA'S PERSONAL LIFE

Dua Lipa is single and has no children. The singer is quite closed in the matter of personal relationships and never gives information about her men. This is partly the reason for the numerous rumors, gossip and scandals associated with the name of Dua.

According to her fans, the girl very often changes her boyfriends. In addition to his alleged relationships with model Isaac Carew and Paula Klein, a musician from the band Lany, Dua was suspected of having links with Coldpay's Chris Martin and DJ and vocalist Calvin Harris. After the end of the Champions League final in Kyiv, numerous articles appeared in the press about the sudden, turbulent and extremely fleeting relationship between Dua Lipa and Real Madrid star player Marco Asensio. However, the girl soon published a refutation of these rumors on her pages on social networks. In 2019, Dua Lipa opened up about her relationship with Bella and Gigi Hadid's brother, Anwar Hadid. He is 3 years younger than the singer - at the time the relationship began, he was 21. The couple regularly appeared together, and in the summer of 2020, the singer and her boyfriend celebrated their first anniversary. However, they broke up in December 2021.
