Dua Lipa kicked At the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland on Saturday, she will perform “Believe” alongside tonight’s inductee, living legend Cher.

Wearing a sleek black leather dress, Lipa sang the iconic 1998 song, and Cher soon joined in a look to match. The pair shook hands as the duo sang the popular refrain, “Do you believe in life after love?/I can feel something inside me saying/I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no.”

It was a moment that even Cher might not have expected a year ago, when legendary singer Kelly Clarkson said the Hall of Fame could “just disappear in 2023, you know what.” “You know what, I would “I’m in now if they gave me a million dollars,” she said at the time. “I will never change my mind.”

It’s been a jam-packed week for Cher, who appeared at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earlier this week. The pop star headlined the show, performing a medley of “Strong Enough” and “Believe,” turning the runway into a disco dance floor as artists like Gigi and Bella Hadid walked the runway singing along to her songs.

The singer’s recording on Saturday follows the release of her greatest hits compilation “Forever” in September. Cher will chronicle her storied career in her self-titled memoir, which will be released next month divided into two volumes, with Part one.

After Zendaya inducted Cher into the Rock Hall, the singer celebrated the moment by singing “If I Could Turn Back Time” from her 19th studio album Heart of stone. The evening was reminiscent of her performances at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, when she performed both “Believe” and “If I Could Turn Back Time.” Her performance at the time preceded the presentation of the prestigious Icon Award.
