				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dua Lipa gave a blinding performance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) last night (December 19th). Lipa, who served as the show’s last musical guest from this year, sang her two hits, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t Start Now</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Levitating. </span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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,</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Future Nostalgia. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately, her performance was cancelled due to the worsening of the coronavirus pandemic. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SNL shared both of Lipa’s magnificent performances directly to their YouTube channel last night. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Levitating </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">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 </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/SaturdayNightLive"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here.</span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">One Kiss </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">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<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/SaturdayNightLive"> here.</a></span></p>
<p>Lipa shared her latest SNL visit via social media. Taking to Instagram, Lipa shared a laughter &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lipa broke records with ‘Studio 54’, the livestream gig gained over 5 million views, and shattered world records. NME wrote of the virtual event:</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-dua-lipa-perform-dont-start-now-levitating-on-snl-2842731"> “Studio 2054 goes some way</a> 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.”</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recently, the</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> New Rules </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span></p>
