DUA DOES THE BIG APPLE

Warner Bros. pop siren Dua Lipa, whose "New Rules" is currently #29 and climbing at Top 40 radio, appeared at the YouTube Space NY last night for a five-song set and Q&A.

The buzzing artist of course performed her hot single, but there was also a much-talked-about cover of Drake's "Passionfruit."

YouTube star and social media influencer Tyler Oakley, who served as host for the evening, then rattled off a series of questions, touching on her experience with YouTube, influences, advice and what's on the horizon.

As pictured, Lipa was also presented with a plaque commemorating 1m subscribers.

Meanwhile, an intimate evening with a HITS employee involves hiding under the covers with a family-sized bag of Cheeto Puffs and a lot of thumb-sucking.
