"I just couldn't believe what I was hearing"

Dua Lipa has said she was “in a massive whirlwind” on learning that she was nominated for two Grammy awards earlier this month.

Dua Lipa’s ‘Houdini’ hints at a Tame Impala-influenced era you won’t want to escape from.

Lipa, who has previously won three Grammys, was nominated for ‘Best Song Written For Visual Media’ for ‘Dance the Night‘ – her song written for summer blockbuster hit Barbie. The same song was also nominated in the ‘Song Of The Year’ category.

Reflecting on the moment, Lipa said on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast this week (November 23): “I got a text from a friend who was like, ‘Did you know that you just got nominated for two Grammys for Dance the Night?’ 

I was already on such a high because I had just released my new single, ‘Houdini’, and that was just absolutely flying and then I get this news and I was just absolutely in a massive whirlwind, I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing.”

She continued: “I was just so happy to be nominated, especially for a song that means so much to me. I just feel like it’s such a big part of me.”
