Artists often embark on a solitary journey, navigating the dreamscapes of their imagination, driven to leave an indelible mark. Yet, the notion that they soar to stardom alone is a myth. The truth is, stars align, joining forces to create unstoppable constellations. The surge in collaborations speaks volumes about the power of united creativity. Fresh off shaking the internet by joining forces with Doechii and Dominic Fike, Jennie’s latest team-up with Dua Lipa has taken the city by storm. As NYC witnessed and clips flooded the web, fans were left with a singular longing—to have experienced the magic firsthand. 

Jennie recently made headlines with a starry collaboration, ‘Handlebars,’ featuring Dua Lipa for her new debut studio album, ‘Ruby.’ Shortly after, the artist took the New York City on that symphonic ride at The Ruby Experience. The song is written by Lipa, Delacey, Amy Allen, James Alan Ghaleb and Rob Bisel. This is not the duo’s first time working together since BLACKPINK collaborated on Lipa’s ‘Kiss and Make Up’ track in 2017.

Jennie announced The Ruby Experience tour to her fans in January and since then, fans have been on their toes to watch her spread her magic live. Although the Dua Lipa collaboration is a novel development, with the music video dropped only a day ago, its iteration during the concert had fans dreaming they could teleport. While Lipa did not make an appearance, Jennie herself stole the show as social media erupted into a frenzy.

The Ruby Experience was already a highlight for her fans, but the ‘Handlebars’ performance has taken the fanaticism to a whole new level.
