Sunday night live: Dua Lipa gets Times Square levitating after hosting ‘SNL’

Dua Lipa had all that Mermaid Barbie training.The Grammy-winning songstress — who had a tail of a cameo in last summer’s “Barbie” blockbuster —needed all of her water-nymph powers as she presided over a rain-soaked Times Square on Sunday night in a surprise pop-up performance that still had fans braving the elements to dance the night away.It completed the Dua Lipa NYC takeover this weekend to launch her third album, “Radical Optimism,” which included her serving as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live.”And certainly, some “Radical Optimism” was needed to brighten up a cold, soggy Cinco de Mayo that felt more like Cinco de Marzo.Even the diva’s dad, Dukagjin Lipa, knew it — the former Kosovan crooner handed out $2 bills for good luck to guests as he was entering the VIP area.“New York!” the British-Albanian singer exclaimed as she took the stage inside of a trailer parked at the corner of 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue.Flipping her burgundy-tinted tresses like the former model she is — while safely covered from any hair-busting bursts from the skies — she launched into “Training Season” like a well-conditioned pro as her mammoth likeness took over the Nasdaq and Amex jumbotrons.Welcome to Dua Square.It was certainly a feat to get the crowd — which stretched all the way to 47th Street — levitating to any degree.“Thank you for braving the rain and the cold,” Lipa, 28, said.And for her next trick, Lipa performed “Houdini” — the first single from “Radical Optimism” — which possesses the same kind of dance-pop magic she has been crafting since her 2017 breakout hit “New Rules.”Then Lipa shifted into midtempo mode for the “Radical Optimism” closer “Happy for You,” which seems determined to prove that she can do more

‘Barbie Girl’ band Aqua leaves concert-goers stunned after lead singer performs crying in her pajamas: ‘Floundering’
Concert goers have described pop group Aqua’s Perth show as “awkward” and “horrendous” after a series of bizarre incidents left the crowd confused.Mix94.5 producer Shelby Brady recounted the doomed performance on Pete & Kymba for Breakfast on Friday morning, telling the hosts the show was “instantly bad” but got worse when lead singer Lene Nystrom left the stage and returned crying in her pajamas.The Euro-pop band is best known for their 1997 hit single Barbie Girl and kicked off their Australian tour in Perth at Metro City on Thursday evening.Brady said the show got off on the wrong foot before the band had even stepped on stage, with the crowd spotting an embarrassing error on a stage screen.“I knew they were off to a bad start when the screen behind them said ‘Hello Adelaide’,” she said.While she described the first song, Cartoon Heroes as a “vibe”, the show continued to go downhill when Nystrom disappeared from the stage, citing the departure was the result of a “sound issue.”“You could see that the main woman (Lene Nystrom) was taking her headpiece out throughout the song but it didn’t seem like a big issue,” she said“She walks off and she’s the lead singer so they have to continue without her.”Shelby said the remaining singers were “floundering” before they all left the stage for an hour, leaving hundreds of concertgoers confused.“It’s so awkward, nobody knows what’s happening,” she said.“They shut the bar so you couldn’t get drinks, there was nowhere to sit.“People left because there was no communication at all. It was just an empty stage with nobody there.But the show took a turn for the worse when the lead singer returned to the show visibly upset and donning her pajamas.“They come back on at 10 pm.

Taylor Swift fan pays $800 for Eras Tour ticket — only to find her view of the stage completely blocked
sold-out Eras Tour in Melbourne, Australia, last month only to find her $800 ticket had virtually no view of the stage.The self-proclaimed Swiftie revealed that her view was obstructed by a massive tent “tower” at the 100,000-seat-strong Melbourne Cricket Ground.Taking to TikTok, the fan revealed that other attendees who traveled from Sydney were left in tears over the view — or lack thereof, after forking over hundreds of dollars to see the pop star’s show.After raising the issue with workers at the venue, she claims they kept “getting passed on” to other staffers at the gig.In fact, the fans ended up missing the first few songs from the 3-hour show but eventually managed to find a staffer who helped them out with tickets to seats on the other side of the stadium.“We missed more of the concert as we raced around to the new seats, and while we made the best of things, it definitely impacted our experience,” she said in the video.Ticketek pls explain #taylorswift #taylorsversion #taylornation #taylorswifterastour #erastour #taylorswiftmelbourne #ticketek #ticketekaustralia #taylor @Ticketek Australia What’s more, the fan claims that staffers had asked her to hand out the remaining tickets to other disappointed fans.Elsewhere, a fan found themself in a similar predicament after forking out $800 for VIP tickets, only to find out that the stage was completely obstructed by a crew and sound mix tent.“POV: You pay $800 per ticket for VIP Taylor Swift tickets and you can’t see the stage,” she wrote in a TikTok video.
