Last night’s performance marks two year since Lipa last visited the world famous sketch show. Lipa was scheduled to attend SNL back in March in support of her latest studio album, Future Nostalgia. Unfortunately, her performance was cancelled due to the worsening of the coronavirus pandemic. 

SNL shared both of Lipa’s magnificent performances directly to their YouTube channel last night. Levitating has received over 69,000 views, whilst Don’t Start Now has obtained a huge 113,000 views. Lipa’s wonderful performances can be watched in full here.

The One Kiss singer got into the spirit of SNL by participating in sketch shows with SNL alumni Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig. Lipa’s humorous sketches can be watched here.

Lipa shared her latest SNL visit via social media. Taking to Instagram, Lipa shared a laughter – inducing clip of herself and Kristen Wiig performing their ‘Marjorie’ sketch. The post, which saw a humongous 1.2 million views, was met with an excited reception from fans.

Despite the world-stopping pandemic, 2020 has still been a busy year for Dua Lipa. The talented vocalist hosted her ‘Studio 54’ livestream, which saw support from singer-songwriter FKA Twigs.

Lipa broke records with ‘Studio 54’, the livestream gig gained over 5 million views, and shattered world records. NME wrote of the virtual event: “Studio 2054 goes some way to completing Lipa’s evolution from good to great that started with the release of ‘Future Nostalgia’. Although the routines on show tonight aren’t the most complex, they flesh out her performance enough that now she has the songs, the personality and the presence that all true icons possess.”

Recently, the New Rules hitmaker was the recipient of the Powerhouse Award at the virtual Billboard Women in Music Awards, which took place on December 10th. Lipa was presented the award by none other than beloved US Senator, Bernie Sanders.

One devoted fan wrote: “We are so proud of you, well done!”

On December 18th, French singer-songwriter Oklou remixed Lipa’s Fever, which originally came out on October 29th. Lipa also joined forces with Miley Cyrus recently on Prisoners, a track taken from Cyrus’ recently released album, Plastic Hearts.

Future Nostalgia is out now.

Cyrus teased fans with a sneak peek of High via social media. Posting a vintage-style video, the Malibu songstress shared a few seconds of the upcoming track on Instagram. 

In the video, you hear the mighty vocalist sing the poignant lyrics: “I don’t miss you but I think of you/I don’t know why I still feel high.” Fans erupted at the teaser post, which has received a whopping 714,000 views.

Within the caption, Cyrus wrote what seemed to be additional lyrics of the Ronson collaboration. Cyrus wrote the descriptive lyrics: “You are like a neon light shining through a door that I can’t keep closed”, heightening the excitement for the soon to be hit track. 

The killer collaboration on High will not be the only team-up between the close friends, as Ronson confirmed that he worked on three tracks for Plastic Hears. Earlier this month, the legendary producer took to Instagram to praise Cyrus and divulge some details about his work on Plastic Hearts.

Sharing a stunning photograph of Cyrus on the album’s vinyl cover, Ronson spoke about High and relayed his admiration for longtime friend Cyrus. In the lengthy caption, Ronson said: “It makes it so exciting to see these three tracks real, in the flesh and on the album.”

Ronson continued, conveying his joy towards working with Cyrus on High: The Acceptable In the 80s singer said of their track: “Honestly, High is one of the most beautiful vocals/melodies I’ve ever recorded. And wait until you hear the harmonies.”

Gathering over 33,000 likes, the post was met with a warm reception from fans.  Mark Ronson is not the only British artist that Cyrus has enlisted for her new album. Cyrus recruited Dua Lipa to duet with her on Prisoner.

Cyrus followed suit, posting a succession of themed photographs, and one intriguing promotional clip featuring an explosion of maraschino cherries and graffiti. The post was celebrated by fans, receiving over 544,000 likes.

This hinting via social media is not an isolated incident from the stars, who have both been teasing a collaboration for months. In October, Cyrus said their upcoming single is “perfectly a blend of the both of us”, which only heightened fans’ wild excitement. 

In May of this year, Lipa revealed that the pair had already planned to create a song together before the coronavirus pandemic. Sadly, the international lockdown restrictions prevented them from doing so. Fortunately, Prisoners is out in a few short hours!
