The singer played at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 20 and 21 – bringing out special guests Jamiroquai and Charli XCX. Tracks played during her Wembley shows included fan favourites ‘New Rules’, ‘Houdini’, ‘Be The One’ and ‘Dance The Night’.

Now, Lipa has released a mini-documentary – titled Dua Lipa – The Beat Before (Wembley Stadium) – which shows some behind-the-scenes and fan vox-pop footage from the nights.

Addressing the 70,000-strong crowd during the first night at Welbley Stadium, she said it felt “surreal” to be performing for so many fans.

“It means the absolute world to me that you are here tonight,” she said. “It feels really, really special to be here tonight. It is 10 years since our first ever London show to about 350 people, and I just dreamt of a night like this where I get to be in front of 70,000 people.”

Lipa confirmed her two London gigs shortly after making her debut headline appearance at Glastonbury Festival last summer. She later played a one-off orchestral show at the historic Royal Albert Hall in the capital.

She then played shows in Liverpool and Dublin, and later this year she is set to embark on a North American leg of her tour. You can find any remaining tickets here.

At her Dublin show, she surprised fans by covering Sinéad O’Connor‘s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’. “Tonight, I am honoured to perform a song by a late Irish legend,” Dua Lipa said to the crowd as she introduced ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, per Consequence. The song, which was made famous by O’Connor in 1990, was written by Prince and first appeared on the self-titled 1985 album of his band, The Family. “If you know the words, please sing along.”

In other Dua Lipa-related news, she recently officially confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner after months of fan speculation.

Speaking to British Vogue for a new cover story, she said: “Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever—it’s a really special feeling.”

Dua then revealed that Callum Turner had the engagement ring custom-made for her after consulting her sister and closest friends: “I’m obsessed with it. It’s so me. It’s nice to know the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.”
