Having taken her Radical Optimism Tour to the UK, the 29-year-old songstress sold out Wembley Stadium twice, Liverpool鈥檚 Anfield twice and Aviva Stadium in Dublin over the last week, continuing her wildly successful tour.
And what better way to celebrate than with a well earned beverage.
When in Ireland, you do as the Irish do and Dua took to social media as she downed a Guinness attempting to 鈥榮plit the G鈥.
鈥5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!鈥 she wrote on Instagram.
While Aussies will be more accustomed to chugging the entire drink in one go like our late former Prime Minister Bob Hawke at the cricket, in Ireland, they take a more precision approach.
鈥淪plitting the G鈥 refers to drinking until the liquid perfectly cuts the G in Guinness on the glass in half, an act that Dua at the very least had an admirable attempt at.
Although the origins of the trend are hazy at best, a Reddit thread claimed it came up in 2006 and was known as the Guinness Challenge, while others, including London pub Daffodil Mulligan claim that because no one can pinpoint the origin 鈥渨e鈥檙e taking a small liberty in claiming it as an Irish tradition鈥.
Whatever it is, the trend has become a viral sensation and a badge of honour for Guinness drinkers.
There鈥檚 even one pub owner in Galway who offers a free second pint to anyone who can 鈥渟plit the G鈥 on their first try on their first pint.
However, one controversy has arisen about how much of the beverage should be consumed, with contention over whether it should be drunk until halfway down the G 鈥 as Dua did 鈥 or whether it鈥檚 splitting the top of the G from the bottom of the harp in the Guinness logo.
But most Dua Lipa fans were too busy celebrating the star鈥檚 achievement 鈥 and her iconic celebration 鈥 to worry about that.
鈥淐annot deal with how iconic you are having a lock-in, in a Dublin pub immediately after a sell out stadium gig,鈥 one fan commented.
Guinness US posted: 鈥淐ongrats and sl谩inte!鈥 Sl谩inte is Gaelic for 鈥渉ealth鈥 and is a popular toast.
鈥淚mmaculate vibes as always,鈥 another posted.
A fourth added: 鈥淪plitting the G after 5 sold out stadiums is top aura moments.鈥
Others felt they needed to pop the bubble.
鈥淵ou sadly did not split the g Dua,鈥 one commented.
鈥淲ell done on the shows, but you鈥檙e miles off splitting the G 鈥 just saying 鈥︹ another said.
Dua鈥檚 tour has been going on since November last year, and she鈥檚 due to hit Canada in September, followed by the major cities in the United States, and will finish up in Mexico City on December 5.
The pop star already took Australia by storm with eight shows between Melbourne and Sydney back in March, where she made the most of her time Down Under.
It鈥檚 been an incredible year for Dua after she revealed she was engaged to British actor Callum Turner back in December.
She only confirmed the rumour to British Vogue in June.
鈥淵es, we鈥檙e engaged,鈥 she told the magazine. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very exciting.鈥
The pair were first linked as a couple in January 2024 when they were spotted dancing the night away at his Masters of Air premiere afterparty in Los Angeles.
Months later, they were photographed engaging in some PDA during a trip to New York City.
