Dua Lipa makes her Wembley debut with a five-star performance, which was even better than her heroics at Glastonbury, in the eyes of associate editor Tom Bryant.
The temperature is just shy of 30 degrees, and Dua Lipa is hoisted up 50ft in the air on a floating stage wearing a blue faux-fur coat.
If she weren’t the world’s hottest artist, she is now indistinguishable.
And over the course of a scintillating two hour set to mark her Wembley Stadium debut, Dua cements her reputation as Britain’s, if not the world’s, biggest pop star.
She said, “This is such a massive, massive milestone for me.” “From the beginning of this show, I’ve had a lump in my throat.”
Watched by her proud family and fiance Callum Turner, she appeared barely out of breath despite the searing heat.
As she embarked on a massive meet and greet with fans, she reportedly felt more energetic than ever before removing both their phones and other clothing.
“I dreamed of a night like this because it has been ten years since our first ever London show, which was attended by about 350 people.” To be in front of 70, 000 people. She says, “I’m so, so blown away,” becoming emotional.

Precision-sharp choreography accompanied hits like Levitating, Hotter Than Hell, and Electricity. This Wembley debut was truly enhanced by the futuristic-looking set, which was beautifully framed by extraordinary lighting.
Bringing out Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay for a one-off performance of his 1996 hit Virtual Insanity, sees the crowd descend into delirium.
He “is a major force in British music”… She says, “He’s opened the door,” and I’m so blessed to have shared the stage.
There were numerous costume changes. She accompanies a chair Madonna-style while wearing a white lace-bodysuit. She later changed into a midnight blue dress and suspenders combo as topless male dancers gyrate behind her while falling into a black PVC number for Physical.
The incredible four-song encore of New Rules, Don’t Start Now, and Dance The Night is accompanied by fireworks and confetti canons of all kinds.
Dua’s historic headline performance at Glastonbury last year was always going to take some beating.
You’d have to assume that she did exactly that following Friday night’s epic show.
