She wrote on social media platform X: "5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!"
Dua, 29, looked incredible as ever in a white bandeau top and was surrounded by pals and fiancé Callum Turner.
The singer's Radical Optimism tour saw her play two nights at Wembley, two at Liverpool's Anfield, and one night at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
Split into four acts and an encore, Dua's career-spanning set went down a storm with fans and critics alike, featuring hits Be The One, IDGAF, Houdini and Levitating.
Such is her pulling power that Charli XCX made a guest turn at one Wembley show, performing 360 and sending the crowd wild as the pair's vocals gelled perfectly.
A-list actor Callum also partied with Dua after her landmark London shows.
The 35-year-old, who popped the question in December after a year of dating, gently squeezed her bum in snaps from the boozy after party.
Dua shared the pictures on her Instagram page with the caption: "Somehow managed to keep on dancing... adrenaline is one hell of a drug."
She fulfilled a lifelong dream when she played to 70,000 adoring fans at Wembley last weekend, a decade after performing in the city for the first time to just 350 people.

With that in mind she marked the occasion with an exclusive after party at White City House in West London.
Behind the scenes snaps showed her beaming from ear to ear as she posed with friends in a skimpy see-through sheer black dress.
There were also personalised menus with a range of signature cocktails from the exclusive Soho House private members' club.

During her show, she exclaimed: 'Wembley, thank you. It is something I've dreamt of my whole life, and all day I have been feeling so much love and gratitude to be here with you guys.
'It is just surreal. It feels like such a journey, but also like everything has happened so quickly.
"I want to thank you for believing in me and trusting me, dancing with me, singing with me — and allowing me to wake up every single morning to do what I love to do. Looking out and seeing all you guys means the absolute world to me."
As she dazzled concertgoers in a white Valentino sheer lace catsuit, she added: "It has been ten years since our first London show and I just dreamt of a night like this."

Charli XCX hits back at 'fraud' claims after Glastonbury set criticised

Charli XCX has hit back at claims she is a "fraud" after her Glastonbury Festival headline set was heavily criticised. The Apple singer was headlining the Other stage Saturday evening, with a packed out crowd there to sing and dance with her. However, Charli came under criticism for her set, with many convinced she was miming or using autotune. She referenced the "boomer vibe" comments on her set in a string of Twitter posts. She wrote on X: "Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx "But to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable." She then added: "really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it's super fascinating to me," before thanking those who gave her five star reviews. During her big set, Charli XCX sang her song with Icona Pop, I Love It, as well her hit viral song Apple, which Gracie Abrams acted as the Apple Girl for and danced the TikTok routine. The singer was accused by fans of miming during her performance, where she headlined the Other stage on Saturday night, whilst Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts performed on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. At the same time, the Scissors Sisters were performing on the Woodsies stage - and the venue had to be shut down as there were too many people there. Taking to Twitter/X, some fans blasted the singer. One wrote: "Oh ffs can't watch Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX is bloody dreadful. Could literally be any random person miming. WTF for a Glastonbury Saturday night, disappointing." Another added: "Predictable but shame nonetheless that charli xcx can't sing live #Glastonbury2025 #charlixcx FAKE." And a third said: "Charli xcx Embarressing [sic]that, turning up to walk around stage pretending to sing…" Whilst some weren't keen on her set, others loved it. "Charli xcx the icon you are #Glastonbury2025," one wrote, whilst a second added: "Charli xcx killing it." A third penned: "Charli xcx is taking over Glasto, she's bloody amazing."

Beyonce's team breaks silence after harrowing mid-air car stunt leaves her screaming 'Stop' onstage

Beyoncé had a horrifying moment during her concert in her hometown of Houston, Texas on Saturday night. The red convertible she rides high above the crowd during her performance of 16 Carriages tilted dangerously, threatening to throw the Cowboy Carter artist off the car and into the audience. Still, Beyoncé returned to the main stage and finished the performance like the consummate professional she is. After the show, Beyoncé's team released a statement addressing the incident. 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. 'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,' Parkwood Entertainment said. As the car began to tilt, the Single Ladies singer, 43, shouted to her crew to stop. 'Stop,' Beyonce said sternly. 'Stop, stop, stop,' she commanded, concern evident in her voice. The crowd grew quiet before they erupted into a mixture of yelling and cheering. The vehicle, which was attached to various cables, was slowly and safely brought back down to the stage. Despite the terrifying stakes, Beyonce appeared calm while in the car. It's unclear what exactly occurred but according to various social media accounts, her car began to tilt in the air. According to the Houston Chronicle, her car had stopped moving midair. has contacted representatives for Beyonce for comment but did not immediately hear back. According to Hot New Hip Hop, Beyonce left the stage floor briefly after her car was properly lowered to the ground before coming back to wrap up the performance. The songstress, now safely on stage, then resumed performing her song and thanked her fans with a heartfelt message. 'I wanna thank y'all,' she told the audience, adding, 'for loving me.' 'If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me,' she said. The incident, which occurred in her hometown of Houston, is not the first time she has suffered from a mechanical issue during her Cowboy Carter tour. In May, the songstress was captured in fan video on the final show of her five-night run in Los Angeles as a robot on stage failed to hit its mark. During one section of the concert at Inglewood's SoFi Stadium, Beyoncé took a break to sit on a large gold throne as a robotic arm that wouldn't have been out of place in a factory attempted to pour a bottle of liquor into her glass on one of the throne's arms. But the robot upended the bottle just an inch or two away from the drink, and instead poured the liquid all over the golden chair she was sitting in. Beyoncé was supposed to follow up the over-the-top display by taking a sip of her drink and grabbing a remote control on the other arm rest as if to turn on the TV before vegging out. But the Texas Hold 'Em singer looked surprised and embarrassed as she briefly picked up her glass and realized that it was empty. Her mouth started to curl into a smile as she quickly returned the empty glass to its spot on her arm rest. But Beyoncé managed to tamp down her smile and continued with the act as she picked up the remote and flicked it as if to turn on a television. The Cowboy Carter Tour, officially titled Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, is Beyonce's ongoing concert tour in support of her album Cowboy Carter. It's an all-stadium tour, featuring 32 stadium shows in the U.S. and Europe. The tour began on April 28, 2025, in Inglewood, California, and is scheduled to conclude on July 26, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada.
