Her dad looked like he was watching her compete at the Olympics! Loved seeing the pride in his face.

[@PromptStreamer]

I know seriously. They seem like really chill sociable people, exactly the kind of people who would raise a person like Dua Lipa. I can’t imagine how proud you would feel to have a person like that as your daughter.

[@matthewsantosleal]

Her dad be looking like a snack.

[@Vejur9000]

That’s mom and dad for ya. I loved how he giggled, both nervous and so proud.

[@msjamesesq]

So sweet that she gave a shout out to poor Wendy Williams. "Some people call me Dula Peep" ❤

Funniest part was when Mom was NOT laughing after “Last thing you want to see when you are high and drunk off your ass is your daughter”!

[@sweepingdenver]

My impression was she was giving a "yup it's true" expression. She was having fun.

[@Jay_Kizzzel]

Really happy for Dua. She absolutely rocked it. Congrats!

[@davidr24]

Its no secret she got a career push from the albanian lobby (hence mentioning Kosovo and Albania in all apparences) but she was definitely worth their money: producing bangers, having the looks and cool videos. Rita Ora was the first one but she didn't really deliver even thought it looks like she got the biggest push but there are still a few other ones that are doing ok

[@PhullyNo1]

@@davidr24she has a little bit of an issue with interpolation. When you take a known winner and rebrand it as your song, you have a hit, but also might need to pay out in court.
