It's definitely not rock and roll, it's lots of sleep and lots of T.

two.

Very important activities.

What tip would you give to someone who's about to start their first ever tour?

Make sure you take some time for yourself um to stay grounded in the midst of all this craziness and what is your pre show ritual?

I do?

My dance warmups with my dancers, Sharon, and then I do my vocal warm ups with my backing vocalists and then I have like a little fist pump handshake with my monitor, engineer Alex.

And then I'm off on stage.

How was on stage?

Do a different from Dua, just hanging out pretty much the same.

Just a lot more adrenaline.

When did you feel most vulnerable on stage?

But I dropped my mic at my show in Washington D.

C.

And I was not prepared for that.

So I think that was probably the most vulnerable moment.

What's something people may not know about dancing during a performance?

I love something that's comfortable but makes me feel really good and you were four outfits during the show.

How did you go about selecting them?

So my show is split up in like four acts.

I Well I dreamt about it from when I was like four or five, but really put it into action when I was 15 when I left uh Kosovo for London.

Um and now it's just a running family joke.

That's cute.
