Dua Lipa hits back at miming claims after epic Glastonbury performance

Must read

DUA LIPA revealed that her years of following her dreams finally paid off when she stepped on the Pyramid Stage for her Friday headline slot.

She told the 100,000-strong crowd: “I’ve written this moment down and wished for it and dreamt of it and worked so hard.”

But it seems that, despite a dynamic set of flawless choreography, three sharp outfit changes and hits spanning nearly a decade, Dua could not please everyone.

The pop star was accused by people watching at home of miming her hits — which included Be The One and Houdini.

One posted on X: “Can you believe anyone headlining Glastonbury would lip-sync the whole show? Shocking!”

But I can reveal that Dua had purely suffered some bad luck due to a sound delay as part of the BBC’s broadcast of the coverage on some services.

A well-placed source tells me: “Dua’s vocals were 100 per cent live.

“She had worked for years to that moment and would never dream of miming to her fans.”

Dua was clearly on a high from her stunning show — which included an appearance from Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker for their hit The Less I Know The Better.

After her set, my spies saw her partying until 4am at one of Glasto’s notoriously debauched nightspots — NYC Downlow.

Letting her flame-red hair down, Dua was seen snogging Hollywood boyfriend Callum Turner, necking Belvedere vodka and chain-smoking into the early hours.

The pair were also spotted all loved up again yesterday afternoon.

One onlooker said: “Dua and Callum couldn’t keep their hands off each other. He’s her biggest cheerleader and wanted Dua to have the time of her life after her headline slot.”

I can only hope that Dua treated herself to one of Worthy Farm’s famous cheese toasties to ease her sore head yesterday.
