During a recent interview, Dua Lipa revealed that the criticism that she received following her Best New Artist win at the Grammys motivated her. Dua said, "I think everything comes in stages and waves. There can be a moment where people really like love you and you feel so supported and you’re like, 'Oh, this is great.'" She continued, "Especially in the beginning, I was doing interviews and people were like, 'How do you deal with hate?' I’m like I don’t get any. And then that changed really quickly." She added, "I try not use criticism as this revenge thing but it does push you in a way." Dua Lipa continued, "Whenever I see or feel or read anything that goes against what I know is coming … I just kind of take a step back and I just go, 'All of this is background noise and I should just stick on my path.' Because every time someone has doubted me, I’ve proved them wrong. This is fueling me, this is pushing me to be better, to work hard."
