Channel: Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa has transformed the Royal Albert Hall into her own personal runway in the 'Training Season' live performance, and it's nothing short of a spectacle.

The video captures Dua in her element, gliding through an orchestral sea like a pop goddess on a classical chariot. But let's talk turkey – or should we say 'tune-key'? The performance is a flawless blend of pop and pomp, but the video quality itself could give the latest blockbusters a run for their money. It's like watching 'Game of Thrones' but with better music and less betrayal. However, despite the grandeur, some fans might miss the raw, unfiltered vibe typical of live rock performances, as this one is polished to near perfection.
