Likely trying to paint that he's not mentally sound to hold public office, that the pressures of the campaign got to him. Can't wait for the lawsuits to start rolling in, honestly. All because Republicans are scared that Texas may flip.

Most likely not; I saw another person say that she heard Rihanna soundchecking Needed Me but the comments were saying they were just playing random songs for soundcheck. Unless those pictures are from yesterday, false alarm.

Maaaybe joining Calvin for One Kiss? Or the poster just thought it was live vocals.

She and Callum are/were at the Yankees game tonight. Bandwagon!

Yeah I do like some things she and her team do; understandably the RO era was cut short because of the performance but I think it's great that she does try to do proper eras. Singles consistently released, then the tour, then a new album. Because I hate when eras end after two, maybe three, singles because the artist is on tour a few months after the album release. Or when they release a second album in the middle of the tour and that record doesn't get a proper era either, doesn't get a tour, etc.. But I do believe her team will shift slightly, with the tour the same year the album is out, I just hope there's still consistent single roll out if the album doesn't "bomb".

And I'm sure she'll perform there, I just also don't trust her team

Can he just expire already? This timeline is so ******.

Unfortunately there'll be stuff like this because that's just the way of promo. But hopefully she also, y'know, performs the song in the first few weeks of release and not have Coachella be the first live version we get

Yeah I don't necessarily want her to tease any aspect of the album because if it's not 100% fitting to whatever she describes? Everyone will whack her again. Just release it (in March).

On top of that, wasn't she only one of a few female artists who have sold out multiple Wembley dates on the same tour? Anyone saying they "can't see it" with stadiums for her truly hasn't been paying attention.

Which may happen but I'm pretty sure the rumor is just fans speculating after the duet. I do think she may have something being released but either a one-off collab with a DJ or a feature on someone's album before the new era.

Yes but most artists, especially in the US, pivoted away from physical sales of singles because they wanted to push album sales. People just get online and say anything these days, huh?

Stadiums will happen; she had stadiums booked for the RO tour originally but after the lukewarm performance, they pivoted to arenas for most dates. US leg will likely be less dates and maybe only two shows in cities like NYC and LA but it's not an out of this world idea. Like... she currently has a live version going viral, and with Coachella happening next year, it'll only help to boost the ticket sales in America (so long as it's a good performance).

My favorite thing is the fans are now saying 'since when do we believe the Sun?' Like... It's easier to believe them than the fake leak accounts on Twitter who just spout constant bullshit. They first reported her engagement, her Glasto headlining spot, and when she appeared at the Brits with Mark, and those are just the first few I can remember. Much better track record than most.

Yeah, I've noticed most stuff they report about Dua as an exclusive usually is accurate. Better than most at least!

I know it's the Sun so always take it with a grain of salt but I actually believe they're the one tabloid that her team occasionally uses to 'leak' info. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/40578569/dua-lipa-secret-global-stadium-tour/

Looks like it's true

Agreed; I think she has the demand to pull off a stadium tour. I've seen multiple people say they were just casual fans, bought tickets on a whim closer to the show and were blown away by the tour/her. I don't think a full stadium tour is out of the question, especially after a Coachella headlining spot because lots of people watch the livestream of the headliners since it's become such an event, every artist is (usually) trying to do something big.

I do wonder if 2027's lineup will go back to being announced in January and the lead single follows the announcement. Not that I think she/her team would arrange that or have that pull but I think that would be the best situation for her, even if it means a long wait for the confirmation.

I think the rumors are Europe in the summer? I do believe that her team is going to change it up a bit and have the tour shortly after the album release like many artists have been doing, effectively cutting the album era short so we'll likely only see 3 singles (not that we had more from the RO era but that was on performance rather than the focus shifting to to the tour). I'm also fairly confident that she'll be doing a full stadium tour. It's not impossible for the US, depending on which markets she hits. Her four sold out shows in NYC and LA could have been a single stadium date. I also think Seattle, Chicago, Houston/Dallas (one or the other, probably not both), Miami, and possibly Vegas could be good stops. Add in at least two Canadian shows, one each 'side' of the country, and she'd be set. She's becoming known more and more as a good performer within the US, so it's not outside of the realm of possibility that it's stadiums in the US as well.

I don't remember who she was following but I went onto her profile a few days ago (someone said some celeb accounts likes were still public, hers being one, so I got bored and checked) and think she was following 17 or 19?

I feel like that's definitely part of an ad campaign (leaning toward YSL or Chanel, with the second being one I might have confirmation of soon) or part of Service95. I don't think it's for a magazine but could be possible I guess.

So much. I was a picky eater; mac & cheese, chicken nuggets/tenders, and that was about it as a kid. I hated vegetables (but I grew up in a household where my parents weren't really eating or cooking vegetables either) and kind of refused to go near beef for awhile too. I started working in restaurants (locally owned, higher-end) and got to try some amazing foods. Basically love everything I 'hated' as a kid now, with the exception of larger pieces of mushrooms, olives, and brussel sprouts. But those three are more down to texture. And I enjoy olives stuffed with some type of cheese though.

Rise Lotus Rise

I mean I get that for some things but if she had other performances lined up for Training Season before the switch, those performances still could have taken place for Houdini. They had a routine, as seen by the video. But what really does sell her music are her performances and not having anything lined up and the first performance of it being months later? Yeah, it hurt the single. Good songs can last, or at least hang around, for awhile amongst the Christmas songs. Wasn't that Jack Harlow song doing well for awhile even during the XMas thaw? And a few others; I think one of Tate's did also. But both of those went viral, Dua's didn't. They tried to make a viral campaign but it was on YouTube shorts and just wasn't gonna work because it was kind of lame lmao. The best strategy would absolutely be waiting until January. Likely after the Coachella announcement, since it is expected to be this upcoming week but could be any time between now and January. It's smarter to wait but it wouldn't be impossible for the release NOW if her team is going to do that.
