00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.180
<v ->Is that comfortable there?</v>

2
00:00:01.180 --> 00:00:02.013
<v ->Yeah.</v>

3
00:00:02.013 --> 00:00:04.570
Now my heart's racing.
<v ->Okay.</v>

4
00:00:04.570 --> 00:00:06.460
Just relax and tell the truth.

5
00:00:06.460 --> 00:00:07.293
<v ->Okay.</v>

6
00:00:08.190 --> 00:00:09.739
I'm not scared.

7
00:00:09.739 --> 00:00:10.572
[Bridget laughing]

8
00:00:10.572 --> 00:00:11.405
You're scared.

9
00:00:12.332 --> 00:00:15.283
[box latch clicking]
[electricity buzzing]

10
00:00:15.283 --> 00:00:18.003
[buttons clicking]

11
00:00:18.003 --> 00:00:19.430
[sharply exhales]

12
00:00:19.430 --> 00:00:20.360
<v Interviewer>Are you ready for this?</v>

13
00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:22.741
<v ->Let's do it, let's just go, let's go.</v>

14
00:00:22.741 --> 00:00:25.491
[metal clanging]

15
00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:29.070
<v Interviewer>Is your name Dua Lipa?</v>

16
00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:30.360
<v ->Yes.</v>

17
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:32.230
<v Interviewer>Are you 25 years old?</v>

18
00:00:32.230 --> 00:00:33.350
<v ->Yes.</v>

19
00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:34.183
<v Interviewer>Are you ready</v>

20
00:00:34.183 --> 00:00:36.274
to take this lie detector test?

21
00:00:36.274 --> 00:00:37.460
<v ->Yes.</v>

22
00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:39.040
<v ->All right, we're calibrated.</v>

23
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:41.860
<v Interviewer>Let's go with your career.</v>

24
00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:46.760
For your first album, you performed 245 live shows.

25
00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:47.593
<v ->Yeah.</v>

26
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.743
<v Interviewer>Was that too many?</v>

27
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:54.430
<v ->It was a lot,</v>

28
00:00:54.430 --> 00:00:56.650
I don't know, yeah, it was quite a lot.

29
00:00:56.650 --> 00:01:00.100
I mean, I don't regret any of those shows,

30
00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:02.180
but there were moments where I felt definitely

31
00:01:02.180 --> 00:01:03.890
a bit run down.

32
00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Interviewer>When you were feeling run down,</v>

33
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.903
you ever fall down on stage?

34
00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:10.430
<v ->I have tripped on stage.</v>

35
00:01:10.430 --> 00:01:13.710
I actually fell going up some stairs.

36
00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:16.110
I went down to the crowd, I was like singing with everyone,

37
00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:17.050
and I got so excited.

38
00:01:17.050 --> 00:01:19.260
I was gonna run back up on stage, missed a step,

39
00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:22.460
fell on my knees, got back up, carried on singing

40
00:01:22.460 --> 00:01:24.880
as if nothing had happened, but yes.

41
00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:26.250
<v Interviewer>Yikes.</v>

42
00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:29.590
You ever forget the lyrics to one of your songs?

43
00:01:29.590 --> 00:01:30.423
<v ->Yes,</v>

44
00:01:31.529 --> 00:01:32.824
more than once.

45
00:01:32.824 --> 00:01:33.910
[chuckles]

46
00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:37.140
The worst bit is when you forget the lyrics,

47
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:39.100
and then you look out into the crowd

48
00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:41.580
in the hopes that someone's gonna like sing the lyrics back,

49
00:01:41.580 --> 00:01:43.610
and they're like literally mouthing the words to you,

50
00:01:43.610 --> 00:01:45.663
and you still don't know the words?

51
00:01:46.570 --> 00:01:48.168
That's

52
00:01:48.168 --> 00:01:49.710
[kisses]

53
00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:51.250
perfect, when that happens.

54
00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Interviewer>Speaking of the crowd,</v>

55
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.950
you ever lock eyes with an attractive person out there,

56
00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:56.613
and, you know, flirt?

57
00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.600
<v ->Not to flirt, but people in the crowd, I think, what?</v>

58
00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:04.426
I'm not, I haven't.

59
00:02:04.426 --> 00:02:05.259
[chuckles]

60
00:02:05.259 --> 00:02:06.810
This is ridiculous.

61
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:10.740
I haven't locked eyes with anyone to flirt in the crowd.

62
00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:11.630
<v ->Inconclusive.</v>

63
00:02:11.630 --> 00:02:12.503
<v ->Inconclusive?</v>

64
00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:16.308
No, I haven't.

65
00:02:16.308 --> 00:02:18.050
[chuckles]

66
00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:21.370
<v Interviewer>You sing the lyrics, "If you're under him,</v>

67
00:02:21.370 --> 00:02:23.388
you ain't getting over him."

68
00:02:23.388 --> 00:02:25.430
[chuckles]

69
00:02:25.430 --> 00:02:26.990
<v ->Yes.</v>

70
00:02:26.990 --> 00:02:28.460
<v Interviewer>Is this something you've learned</v>

71
00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:29.623
from experience?

72
00:02:32.270 --> 00:02:33.103
<v ->Maybe.</v>

73
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:35.740
<v Interviewer>Yes or no?</v>

74
00:02:39.130 --> 00:02:39.963
<v ->Yes.</v>

75
00:02:41.081 --> 00:02:43.331
[chuckles]

76
00:02:45.790 --> 00:02:47.040
<v Interviewer>Have you ever called someone</v>

77
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.373
because you were drunk and alone?

78
00:02:52.070 --> 00:02:53.280
<v ->Yes,</v>

79
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.800
but my friends, actually.

80
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.040
I think it's kind of worse that I kind of,

81
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:02.400
in full consciousness call people,

82
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.530
like that I shouldn't instead of being drunk

83
00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:05.830
and having an excuse.

84
00:03:05.830 --> 00:03:07.360
Like normally, if I'm drunk and alone,

85
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.713
I call my friends to like wail about something, but,

86
00:03:11.830 --> 00:03:14.540
so I don't know what's better, actually.

87
00:03:14.540 --> 00:03:16.510
<v Interviewer>In your song "Levitating",</v>

88
00:03:16.510 --> 00:03:19.641
you use the affectionate term "Sugar Boo."

89
00:03:19.641 --> 00:03:20.686
[chuckles]

90
00:03:20.686 --> 00:03:21.519
<v ->Yeah.</v>

91
00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Interviewer>Have you ever called a significant other</v>

92
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:24.793
Sugar Boo?

93
00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:29.913
<v ->Yes, as a joke, just for fun, I have.</v>

94
00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:34.113
<v Interviewer>What are the qualities of a Sugar Boo?</v>

95
00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:40.870
<v ->Sweet, little teddy bear cute, sugar boo.</v>

96
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:43.490
[chuckles]

97
00:03:43.490 --> 00:03:44.850
<v Interviewer>You won the Grammy</v>

98
00:03:44.850 --> 00:03:47.110
for the Best Vocal Album this year.

99
00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:49.493
Would you say awards are important to you?

100
00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:58.960
<v ->I don't like to base my success on awards,</v>

101
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.520
but it definitely does feel really nice to be recognized

102
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.150
for something that I'm really passionate about,

103
00:04:04.150 --> 00:04:06.470
so, I guess in that way, yes.

104
00:04:06.470 --> 00:04:08.050
<v Interviewer>Did you prepare a speech</v>

105
00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:09.233
just in case you won?

106
00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:11.653
<v ->Yes, I did,</v>

107
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.560
because I get really scared sometimes talking in public,

108
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.880
and I wrote down little notes,

109
00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:20.990
and then it was kind of a little bit of everything

110
00:04:20.990 --> 00:04:24.000
that I'd written down to try to put into one.

111
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.950
<v Interviewer>You ever re-watch your speech</v>

112
00:04:25.950 --> 00:04:27.580
after you gave it?

113
00:04:27.580 --> 00:04:30.430
<v ->Yes, because a lot of the time I feel like I blacked out</v>

114
00:04:30.430 --> 00:04:33.117
in the moment, and so I was always like,

115
00:04:33.117 --> 00:04:35.850
"Was it okay, did I thank everyone?"

116
00:04:35.850 --> 00:04:39.850
And so, yes, I do go back and watch them.

117
00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:41.900
<v Interviewer>Now let's do pop culture.</v>

118
00:04:43.290 --> 00:04:45.170
You grew up in the UK.

119
00:04:45.170 --> 00:04:47.420
Does that mean you're a fan of "Love Island"?

120
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.050
<v ->No, I've never watched "Love Island" before.</v>

121
00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:54.290
<v Interviewer>What about "Geordie Shore"?</v>

122
00:04:54.290 --> 00:04:55.123
<v ->No.</v>

123
00:04:55.123 --> 00:04:55.956
<v Interviewer>Have you ever watched</v>

124
00:04:55.956 --> 00:04:57.963
any British reality TV?

125
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.060
<v ->No, I don't really watch reality TV,</v>

126
00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:05.740
apart from "90 Day Fiancé", I have to say.

127
00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Interviewer>As a fellow pop singer,</v>

128
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.310
are you a fan of Brittany Spears?

129
00:05:09.310 --> 00:05:10.143
<v ->Yes.</v>

130
00:05:11.860 --> 00:05:13.467
<v Interviewer>Did you watch her documentary,</v>

131
00:05:13.467 --> 00:05:15.780
"Framing Brittany Spears"?

132
00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:17.160
<v ->Yes.</v>

133
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:17.993
<v Interviewer>Are you a part</v>

134
00:05:17.993 --> 00:05:19.880
of the free Brittany movement?

135
00:05:19.880 --> 00:05:21.547
<v ->1000%.</v>

136
00:05:22.660 --> 00:05:24.220
<v Interviewer>Do you think her Instagram posts</v>

137
00:05:24.220 --> 00:05:26.209
have hidden secret messages?

138
00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:28.792
[Dua laughing]

139
00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:32.880
<v ->Oh, I mean,</v>

140
00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:35.240
I hope not because that would make me really sad,

141
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.040
but at some point, I mean, if yes,

142
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.870
then we're listening and we're watching

143
00:05:39.870 --> 00:05:42.320
and we're here for Brittany.

144
00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:44.203
I don't know, the answer to that.

145
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:47.380
<v Interviewer>Do you hide secret messages</v>

146
00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:49.123
in your Instagram posts?

147
00:05:50.487 --> 00:05:55.487
<v ->Sometimes secret messages alluding to different things</v>

148
00:05:55.950 --> 00:06:00.900
or, yeah, sometimes I do enjoy a little bit of code.

149
00:06:00.900 --> 00:06:02.080
<v Interviewer>Is that true, Bridget?</v>

150
00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:03.313
<v ->Yeah, that's true.</v>

151
00:06:03.313 --> 00:06:05.310
[Dua laughing]

152
00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:06.250
<v ->See.</v>

153
00:06:06.250 --> 00:06:08.223
<v Interviewer>Up next, your life.</v>

154
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.943
Have you ever gotten a tattoo while under the influence?

155
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.070
<v ->I've given a tattoo under the influence,</v>

156
00:06:22.070 --> 00:06:26.543
but I don't think I have done one myself.

157
00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.253
Smart.

158
00:06:29.890 --> 00:06:31.370
<v Interviewer>Do you think getting a tattoo</v>

159
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:33.993
with a significant other is bad luck?

160
00:06:36.870 --> 00:06:37.820
<v ->I don't think so.</v>

161
00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:42.740
<v Interviewer>You don't sound too confident?</v>

162
00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:44.430
<v ->I'm pretty confident, I think it's fine.</v>

163
00:06:44.430 --> 00:06:47.480
I mean, like now there's tattoo removal, so.

164
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.270
<v Interviewer>In 2018 you were given the keys</v>

165
00:06:49.270 --> 00:06:51.520
to your town in Kosovo.

166
00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:52.353
<v ->Mm.</v>

167
00:06:52.353 --> 00:06:54.803
<v Interviewer>Do you know where that key is today?</v>

168
00:06:56.270 --> 00:06:58.146
<v ->Yes, I do.</v>

169
00:06:58.146 --> 00:07:02.000
It's on my bookcase,

170
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.000
like in the little bookcase area in my living room,

171
00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:11.720
but I'm having my flat renovated at the moment,

172
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.370
so it might not be there right now,

173
00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:16.560
but that's the last place I know it was.

174
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.170
<v Interviewer>Have you ever snuck into a place</v>

175
00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:19.733
you weren't supposed to be?

176
00:07:22.690 --> 00:07:23.523
<v ->Yes.</v>

177
00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:26.323
Yes.

178
00:07:27.940 --> 00:07:28.983
<v Interviewer>Where?</v>

179
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.180
<v ->I don't know like, well, the place,</v>

180
00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:36.910
it was quite funny, actually.

181
00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:41.900
It was just this one tent at a festival in 2014,

182
00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:43.270
but it was like wristband only.

183
00:07:43.270 --> 00:07:47.240
So I snuck under the tent and I got caught the second I went

184
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.860
under the tent and I got kicked out.

185
00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:53.700
So, I definitely snuck in where I wasn't meant

186
00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:55.803
to sneak in and I got told.

187
00:07:57.820 --> 00:08:00.390
<v Interviewer>Your Zodiac sign is a Leo.</v>

188
00:08:00.390 --> 00:08:01.223
<v ->Mm hm.</v>

189
00:08:01.223 --> 00:08:03.333
<v Interviewer>Do you identify with your sign?</v>

190
00:08:05.610 --> 00:08:07.810
<v ->Yes and no.</v>

191
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:12.810
I'm Leo, but I'm also like Leo Virgo cusp.

192
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.540
So I do think I'm a little bit both,

193
00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.910
but there are lots of Leo qualities

194
00:08:17.910 --> 00:08:20.280
I feel like I identify with,

195
00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:22.200
especially in my work,

196
00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:25.420
that's where I feel like I identify with it the most.

197
00:08:25.420 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Interviewer>So would you say you love</v>

198
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.743
to be the center of attention?

199
00:08:30.260 --> 00:08:32.023
<v ->No, not always.</v>

200
00:08:34.140 --> 00:08:35.660
<v ->Might be guilty.</v>

201
00:08:35.660 --> 00:08:37.200
<v ->I don't.</v>

202
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.240
Honestly it depends, it depends,

203
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.470
like sometimes I like to be the center of attention

204
00:08:41.470 --> 00:08:45.453
and sometimes I just like to be invisible.

205
00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:47.830
<v Interviewer>Do you think it's healthy</v>

206
00:08:47.830 --> 00:08:51.683
to date someone according to your Zodiac compatibility?

207
00:08:51.683 --> 00:08:54.266
[Dua laughing]

208
00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:56.433
<v ->I don't know.</v>

209
00:08:57.370 --> 00:09:02.310
I definitely feel like I've checked my compatibility

210
00:09:02.310 --> 00:09:03.923
based on star signs.

211
00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:06.660
<v ->Yeah, that's true.</v>

212
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:07.493
<v ->Yeah.</v>

213
00:09:07.493 --> 00:09:09.610
I've done that, guilty,

214
00:09:09.610 --> 00:09:14.610
but, I feel like that was a lot more to a person

215
00:09:14.690 --> 00:09:16.680
than just a star sign, don't forget.

216
00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:19.863
We have risings and moon signs too.

217
00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:22.540
<v ->You signed your first recording contract</v>

218
00:09:22.540 --> 00:09:25.530
when you were working as a hostess in a cocktail bar.

219
00:09:25.530 --> 00:09:27.050
Is that correct?

220
00:09:27.050 --> 00:09:27.883
<v ->Yes.</v>

221
00:09:28.890 --> 00:09:31.913
<v Interviewer>Would you say the customer is always right?</v>

222
00:09:33.747 --> 00:09:36.080
<v ->No, not always right.</v>

223
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.150
Sometimes the customer is a Dick,

224
00:09:38.150 --> 00:09:41.190
but you just have to go with it.

225
00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:44.330
You just have to let it, you know, it's fine.

226
00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Interviewer>Would you say that you're extra nice</v>

227
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.920
to hostesses and waitresses now?

228
00:09:48.920 --> 00:09:50.763
<v ->Yes, definitely.</v>

229
00:09:53.050 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Interviewer>Always?</v>

230
00:09:55.420 --> 00:09:58.383
<v ->Yeah, I don't think I've ever I've, yes,</v>

231
00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:01.470
I am always nice.

232
00:10:01.470 --> 00:10:03.330
<v Interviewer>At any point during this interview,</v>

233
00:10:03.330 --> 00:10:06.370
did you lie and we didn't catch you?

234
00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:07.203
<v ->No.</v>

235
00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:11.650
<v ->You've been pretty truthful the whole way through.</v>

236
00:10:11.650 --> 00:10:13.050
<v Interviewer>Not bad Dua.</v>

237
00:10:14.555 --> 00:10:16.003
<v ->Thank you so much.</v>

238
00:10:16.003 --> 00:10:18.336
<v ->That's okay, that's okay.</v>
