Dua Lipa performed in Ukraine before the Champions League Final on Saturday evening, May 26.

The London-born singer, 22, took to the pitch before Liverpool played Real Madrid in this year’s final.

Joined by a troop of dancers, Dua opened the show with recent hit single ‘One Kiss,’ before Sean Paul took to the pitch to perform ‘No Lie’. Dua finished her show with ‘Be The One,’ and ‘New Rules.’

So far Dua Lipa won two British music awards.

Dua said about her debut album: “There have been so many pinch myself moments. It kind of happens on a daily basis because there are so many exciting things happening. When I first put my album out that was a very, very big deal for me, to put that body of work out there that I’d been working on for such a long time. I remember winning my award at NME and that was one of the first awards I’d ever won and that recognition and support really meant a lot to me.”

Dua Lipa, 22, is an English singer, songwriter and model.

Her musical career began at age 14, when she began covering songs by other artists on YouTube.

In 2015, she signed with Warner Music Group and released her first single soon after.

In December 2016, a documentary about Lipa was commissioned by The Fader magazine, titled See in Blue.

Peter Burling, who brought the America’s Cup to new Zealand last summer and now he is a member of team Brunnel said about this leg: “We’re going into one of the more gruelling legs of the race.” Americas Cup Team New Zealand ace Peter Burling - Helmsman and Trimmer in Team Brunel.

It was MAPFRE, the overall race leader, who made the best start to lead the fleet around a loop of the Waitemata Harbour and out into the Hauraki Gulf. They were chased by Dongfeng, Team Brunel and Turn the Tide on Plastic.

Mitre 10 - very negative shopping experience!

Mitre 10 - very negative shopping experience!


It was the worst shopping experience within my last few years.

The first item which I bought (panel heater) became faulty within 1.5 weeks after the purchase. The digital display shoved anything, except correct figures.

My second purchase still has not delivered although I made it more than 12 days ago. It was delivered to nowhere, thanks to the couriers – ‘New Zealand Couriers’ (nzcouriers.co.nz).

It was dispatched from a shop allocated at 67 Corinthian Drive, Albany, Auckland. Their staff simply refused to track where my order was lost.

The distance from the shop to the delivery place can be driven in 30 minutes, but Mitre 10 unable to deliver my order during 12 days already.

Additionally:
When I am trying to login at Mitre web site, the system says that password isn’t correct, although I am sure that I saved it correct. When trying to reset the password, the system informed that the email was sent to me, but I never received that email (I tried several times to reset the password).

So my overall experience is very negative. It was the worst shopping experience within my last few years.

In the future I will avoid shopping from Mitre 10 as a plague.
