This. I do not think everyone realizes how huge it is to debut your new song at the Grammys. I know Dua Lipa probably was not the most happy about the initial roll out but I am sure she is happy to perform Training Season at the Grammys!!

I’m predicting a #17 debut for this with about 3,058,891 streams

Her hanging with Troye and Omar :deadbanana4: queen of gays!

Right?! I’m over this talking promo nonsense. Literally no one buys or streams music from interviews, they do so AFTER performances.

 Is this confirmed to be performed tonight?

If it is, this reminds me of the digital era strategy where they hold the digital single release until it has a lot of audience on radio. 

In this case they would do tiktok promo + a few seconds of a performance before release. 

It would be interesting to see how it performs. If this works I can see other artists trying it.

I mean it's not the first time labels try to create hype and anticipation about a song release. It worked well for hit such as Greedy, Unholy and most recently Beautiful Things.

they especially try to go viral on tiktok so it's a surefire smash as soon as it's released.

Source: Rolling Stone Music Now podcast - Inside the 66th Annual Grammy Awards

They teased a bit about Dua's upcoming Grammys performance

 

Host: (mentions new stuff x1)

And Dua Lipa obviously has new stuff coming up; I imagine it’s a forward-looking performance

Raj Kapoor(Grammy Awards producer): 

I would say there's a little bit of everything there.

She had a huge song with Dance the night. Also Houdini has been a huge hit right now. 

I think there are so many great things happening around Dua. She loves choreography, she loves production.

 

Later in the same podcast...

 

Raj Kapoor: 

The show is packed with many great moments there's gonna be some surprises on the stage. We do our best to create moments that even hopefully take other artist in the room by surprise. Because there really is just that feelings that happened that tingly sensations like omg I cannot believe that I am actually seeing that person or I have missed that person so much! [...] we do have other moments planned in the show there will be things that I think every body will be talking about that night and into the next day.

Host: (mentions new stuff x2)

Would it be safe to say that as with Dua Lipa the idea may be to celebrate a little bit of the past as well as this new thing.

Raj Kapoor: 

I would say that it's part of conversation

 

The new stuff/thing, aka training season is coming:duca:

They also talked about the opening performance having lots of energy, which would include a full stage production, opening with a band and many dancers. It sounds like a Dua performance to me. But could also be other people

Training Season at the Grammys :duca:

If she genuinely performs this at the Grammys without releasing it until February 15th on streaming, it will confirm her new management as being the most clueless in the entire industry

Yeah it seems crazy…but her team is trying a new strategy. Plus it is more exciting for the fans this way!

It’s different and exciting in the streaming era. It’s for sure going to generate a lot of buzz despite the fact that people want instant gratification of being able to have the song immediately. We know Dua’s all about longevity instead of debuts.

 

It’s giving Britney performing S4U at the VMAs and releasing the track nearly a month later.

I agree with most here: I'm glad shes trying to switch it up. If it succeeds, its gonna boost her profile, if not, she can always push it later on with "standard" strategies

 

Safe girlies are exactly that - safe. The true big hitters are those who dare to be different in one way or the other

I feel like this whole era is going to flop. I can feel it in my bones. Serving a Bionic situation. The snippet sounds boring/not catchy. But the GP also eats that kind of stuff up so. I guess we'll see.

It’s not different nor exciting nor will it generate buzz :deadbanana: especially after Houdini had a very subdued reaction in the USA. Maybe as a direct follow up to Levitating, this could’ve worked, but now, no way. love the snippet but c’mon. This release strategy will lead to a tremendous flop if it’s true

 

Not the closest comparison you could think of being 20 years ago 

 

she should take risks in her music, not in bizarre marketing strategies that have zero value add for either fans or casual listeners

Counter argument: If the performance is great, people will go back to the performance to hear Training Season. On Top of that, it will also feature Houdinis first live performance. All of this will then activate word of mouth so that more and more people will want to hear Training Season when its out a week later. When its finally out, this could lead to quite a big first day. It can surely go either way, but dont rule out Ms Lipa prematurely

I will be perched for the release either way and hope you are right, but the last time I saw people "go back" to a live performance was like... Beyoncé at Coachella, maybe?

She needs to get it out before Reputation or Arianna

Dua giving so many interviews on red carpet about training season, it's what she deserves
