The entire performance was on point, from her vocals, to her dancing, and even her outfit. Her moves were slick and sensual, also mirroring the “Houdini” video. At one point, she laid down and sang from the rotating mirrors, and the camera captured the dramatic moment from above. She definitely earned that standing ovation.
As for her nominations, Dua Lipa is up for two—Best Song Written for Visual Media and Song of the Year for her Barbie movie hit “Dance the Night.” While she didn’t perform that song, instead focusing on her two recent releases from her forthcoming album, she did speak about her performance on the red carpet beforehand, calling it “Intense, strong and dancey.”
