Pop star Dua Lipa yesterday defiantly told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I don’t mime’, after fans accused her of lip-synching during her headline Glastonbury set.

It was the 28-year-old’s dream come true to play the world-famous Pyramid stage. 

But her performance in front of tens of thousands of fans on Friday was dogged by accusations that was not actually singing on stage.

However, when our reporter caught up with her in the VIP area yesterday, she shrugged off the criticism. 

I don’t mime,’ said the Grammy Award-winner as she toasted her headline success with her actor boyfriend Callum Turner, 34, in an exclusive bar at the Worthy Farm festival site.

The pair were seen cuddling up after arriving from their luxury hotel ten miles from Glastonbury.

She was dressed in a white vest top with black skirt and carried a £1,600 satin, crystal-encrusted Prada bag. She paired the look with chunky black boots.

The singer was accused of lip-syncing by those watching coverage of the festival on the BBC on Friday night.

‘Imagine paying all that money to go Glastonbury to stand there and watch Dua Lipa mime the song and not even sing it. How bad,’ one said. 

Another wrote online: ‘Dua Lipa delivering a Top of the Pops mime set’.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: ‘It’s a shame #DuaLipa can’t sing live. Don’t turn up to glasto and mime. Rubbish.’

Another said: ‘Dua Lipa has some decent catchy tunes, but I’m fairly sure she’s lip syncing. Sounds like a live vocal, but just not convinced she’s singing it live “right now”.’ 

Informed sources say the mime claim is false. 

During Ms Lipa’s performance there were numerous large Palestine flags so close to the stage that they were seen both on the big screens at the venue and on the BBC’s coverage.

The singer previously urged world leaders to help de-escalate the crisis in Gaza and Israel.

While she did not directly comment on the war during her performance, which included hit songs such as Levitating, she did appear to run out into the crowd to sing closer to a flag that read ‘Glasto for Palestine’.

Despite the accusations of lip-synching, Dua Lipa stood her ground and confidently proclaimed, ‘I don’t mime.’ This declaration came after her headline set at Glastonbury, where fans speculated that she may not have been singing live. However, the Grammy Award-winner brushed off the criticism and celebrated her success with her boyfriend, Callum Turner, in a VIP bar at the festival site.

As the singer basked in her headline performance, clad in a stylish white vest top and black skirt, carrying a luxurious Prada bag, fans continued to question the authenticity of her live singing. Comments online ranged from disappointment to disbelief, with some expressing doubts about her vocals.

Despite the allegations of lip-syncing, sources close to Dua Lipa confirm that she did indeed sing live during her Glastonbury set. The performance was not only a musical showcase but also a platform for the singer to express her solidarity with Palestine, as poignant flags adorned the stage in support of the cause.

While she did not directly address the ongoing conflict in her performance, Dua Lipa’s choice to sing near a flag that read ‘Glasto for Palestine’ spoke volumes about her stance on the issue. As fans eagerly awaited her next move, the pop star continues to use her platform to raise awareness and advocate for peace.
