Dua Lipahas some “new rules” for herself when promoting her music.

“A lot of the time I would have to get up and perform — there was this one American show that I did, and I had 30 minutes before we started taping to just, like, try and figure out a routine and dance and perform and do the thing,” continued the “Electricity” performer.
Lipa said she “would have completely changed” the way she approached that time in her life if she could.
“I never, ever wanted to go through that ever again. I’m going to make sure for everything I have the time to do it, and I don’t spread myself too thin, and I take care of myself differently,” Lipa said of what she learned from the experience.
She added that many of her nerves stem from “the idea of not having enough time to do something properly.”
