Dua Lipa finally spoke out about the Grammys completely snubbing her latest album
You just know she’s salty
It’s been a weird old year for Dua Lipa. Through the pandemic, she was arguably the biggest pop star in the world. Her second album Future Nostalgia is nothing short of a pop bible – an album so impressive it has defined the nu-disco pop revival of the decade and it’s in most music fan’s regular rotations. Because of all this, the hype for Dua Lipa returning with her third record Radical Optimism was of course astronomical. And it’s safe to say now after over a full year of the album cycle beginning with Houdini at the tail end of 2023, that it’s all been a bit of a let down. That let down was solidified by the fact that the Grammys fully snubbed Dua Lipa in all categories – and she’s finally commented on it.
Speaking in a new interview for Billboard, Dua Lipa called 2024 the “best year of her life”, but did open about how it was a shame she didn’t receive any nod from the Grammys for Radical Optimism. “I’m so proud of Radical Optimism and where it’s brought me,” Dua explained.
“I love that album and I’m having the time of my life performing it live, and I’ve been able to do things that I thought I could only dream of this year, so I’m really grateful. Although it would have been nice to be recognised by your industry, especially as a woman, I’m so proud seeing so many incredible female artists nominated at the Grammys this year.”
