The British pop star headlined this year's edition of the iconic British summer festival. In a new interview with Billboard, Dua shared that when she turned on her phone after her performance, she was bombarded with an outpouring of supportive messages. "It was so beautiful. I had so many messages from previous headliners. You sort of earn this badge of honour in that moment, and it felt like I joined the coolest club in the world." The Levitating hitmaker, 29, also divulged that she received a text from Adele, who was the last female British headliner before Dua in 2016. "She said, 'I've been thinking about you all day and just wanted to wish you luck for tonight. Don't forget to soak it all in.’ Looking back at that Pyramid (stage) was me trying to do that." Elsewhere in the interview, the star declared that she has had a good year. "It's honestly been the best year of my life. I've done things that I've wanted to do for so long." Dua, who released her third studio album Radical Optimism earlier this year, also shared that she is "really happy" with where she is in her career. "Overall I'm really happy with where I am. I don't think it really matters in the grand scheme of things where I am, where I want to be and where I'm going. It doesn't change the way I feel about the record at all."
