Dua Lipa recently shared her excitement about becoming friends with pop superstar Katy Perry, a dream come true for the Grammy winner. Lipa, now 28, reminisced about attending one of Perry's concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo in London when she was just 15 years old. During Perry's California Dreams Tour, Lipa was pulled on stage to dance with her, creating a memorable moment that she cherishes.
Fast forward to the present day, Lipa and Perry have developed a close friendship, with Perry even attending one of Lipa's shows at the Hollywood Palladium in 2018. Perry expressed her admiration for Lipa, predicting her rise to stardom and leaving work early to catch Lipa's performance, despite her commitments to American Idol.
In a heartwarming exchange, Perry shared valuable advice with Lipa, cautioning her against reading negative press and focusing on her craft instead. Lipa took this advice to heart and has since maintained a positive outlook on her career.
