Dua Lipa Recalls Feeling ‘So Upset’ While Promoting 2018 Debut Album: ‘Spread Myself Too Thin’

“The idea of not having time to do something properly makes me so nervous,” said Lipa, reflecting on the grueling promotional schedule in a new interview

Dua Lipa has some “new rules” for herself when promoting her music.

In an interview with KISS FM UK, the pop star, 28, opened up about feeling “so upset all the time” during the grueling promotional schedule around her 2018 self-titled debut album, which spawned the hits “New Rules” and “IDGAF.”

“There were so many moments, I think, when I first started when I was just in back-to-back-to-back, like, constant photo shoots, traveling and doing performances and not wanting to miss any opportunities — especially in America — when I was doing late-night TV or breakfast telly or whatever,” Lipa told host Harriet Rose of the overwhelm of the beginning of her career.
