Pop superstar Dua Lipa just wrapped her sold-out UK and Ireland tour, but it wasn’t a song or stage moment that caught the internet’s attention — it was a perfectly poured pint. After her final Dublin show, Dua was filmed attempting the “Split the G” Guinness challenge, and fans haven’t stopped debating it since.
🍺 What’s the Challenge?
The “Split the G” challenge involves drinking a pint of Guinness so precisely that your first sip stops exactly at the center of the letter “G” in the Guinness logo. It’s a classic Irish pub test of drinking finesse and foam control.
Dua’s clip, which features her confidently sipping the iconic stout, has racked up millions of views across Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. The question: did she actually split the G?
🔍 The Internet Reacts
Fan pages began zooming in on the foam line like football referees analyzing a VAR replay.
“She nailed it.”
“No way — she missed the mark by an inch.”
“Either way, she looks like a pro.”
Even Guinness USA’s official account chimed in with a cheeky repost and flame emojis, adding fuel to the debate.
🎤 Why It Hit So Hard
This wasn’t just a celebrity stunt — it blended:
- A local Irish tradition
- A relatable, low-key pub moment
- The elegance of a global pop star doing something very real
It also came at the perfect time: the end of a celebrated tour, a high in fan engagement, and peak pub culture season in the UK/Ireland.
📲 The Trend Spreads
Since the clip went viral, #SplitTheG has seen a resurgence on TikTok and Reels, with users from around the world attempting to replicate the pour + sip.
Irish pubs have even started running “Split the G like Dua” promotions.
💬 Final Word
Whether or not she split the G, Dua Lipa definitely broke the internet. Her Dublin moment proves that viral magic happens when global stars meet authentic local culture.
