Dua Lipa, winner of Best Pop Vocal Album for "Future Nostalgia," poses with her tongue out in the media room during the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards at Los Angeles Convention Center on March 14, 2021 while wearing a sparkly gown

Especially when it comes to dancing.

Like, so (in)famous that her dancing has gone viral! Mostly because it was once...very different.

As a result, Dua was trolled. Memed. Made into a joke. (Not cool!)

Get this: In a new Instagram story, Dua actually thanked her haters for inspiring her to work harder.

It began as a thank-you to day one fans, and then took a slight detour.

"I'm so grateful for all the incredible opportunities, all the amazing people I met, all the incredible lessons that I learned, touring for like three years," she began.

"So thank you so much, for all things good and bad, for helping me grow. I'm forever grateful."
