Dua Lipa Celebrates ASCAP Vanguard Award Win In Style
There's no stopping the 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' singer...
It's no secret that Dua Lipa has had an amazing year. Not only has she scored her first UK Number 1 single and third platinum single in the UK with the brilliant 'New Rules' but her self-titled album is also one of the most successful of the year so far.
On top of that Dua has just been given the ASCAP Vanguard Award for her contribution to music!
Talking in my sleep at night
Making myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out
Hoping it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules - I count 'em
I got new rules - I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules - I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I keep pushing forwards
But he keeps pulling me backwards
(Nowhere to turn, no way)
(Nowhere to turn, no)
Now I'm standing back from it
I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
But my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself
I do
I do
I do
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules - I count 'em
I got new rules - I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules - I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna learn it by heart
(I got new rules - I count 'em)
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I (I got new)
One: Don't pick up the phone (yeah)
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone (alone)
Two: Don't let him in (uh-ooh)
You'll have to kick him out again (again)
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him
I got new rules - I count 'em
I got new rules - I count 'em
(Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa)
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules - I count 'em
(Baby, you know I count 'em)
I gotta tell them to myself
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
You're gettin' over him
The ASCAP Awards are held annually in the US and the UK. Last night's ceremony honoured the best in Birtish talent: those who've helped shaped the sound of British music both from behind the scenes as writers and as performers in the limelight.
The Vanguard award specifically honours artists who are helping to shape the future of music.
With all of her success this year, it's safe to say that Dua is more than worthy of the award!
The 'Hotter Than Hell' star took to Instagram to celebrate the crazy achievement.
Dua wrote: "Thank you ASCAP for my Vanguard award. What a wonderful awards ceremony... Now all dressed up accordingly for my studio session." Now not only are we obsessed with the entire look but a "studio session". What is Dua working on?
Could she be starting a NEW album or working on another hit collaboration?
Whatever it is, one thing for sure is that Dua really deserves this award!
Who heads to work straight after an awards ceremony? Legends only.
