I was in the VMA pit for this performance. I can remember the feeling of genuine shock, thinking (along with everyone else bedside me) that she was actually bleeding. Like we were all truly concerned she was hurt 😂 ... but wow, what a moment.

lots of Dua album discourse & maybe I'm a bias boy but the vibes are very much immaculate to me. sonically cohesive w/ themes of love acceptance & healing. as someone who was in a long relationship who had to let it go less than a year ago.. a lot of these lyrics HIT! gorg for me

I’m so happy to be in a place in my life where I feel 100% deserving and capable of having/doing the things I want, the way that I want.
For far too long I let my insecurities and the energy of others (mostly fellow gay men) towards me dictate that for me.
