Dua Lipa is lighting up the globe with her Radical Optimism Tour, and her recent pit stop in Bogotá, Colombia, was nothing short of iconic. In a heartfelt homage to Shakira, the 'Houdini' singer delivered a stunning performance of the Colombian legend's 1995 hit 'Antología.' Draped in a black fur coat over a sparkly black catsuit, Lipa nailed the Spanish lyrics, leaving fans in the crowd absolutely buzzing.
The excitement reached new heights when Shakira herself chimed in. Sharing a clip of Lipa's performance, she noted the serendipity of hearing her song sung by another powerhouse voice right where it all began. "I’m so touched to hear my song in Dua’s voice, in the same city where I wrote it years ago," Shakira shared on Instagram, highlighting the magic of music connecting artists across continents.
"See how music brings us together? A girl from London and another one from Barranquilla! Thanks @dualipa! What a treat!"
Dua Lipa responded in kind, expressing her love for Shakira with a warm comment, "It was a beautiful night, and I loved singing your song!!! I ❤️ you!!!" The exchange had fans thrilled, with comments celebrating the mutual appreciation between these two pop icons.
Reflecting on the memorable night, Lipa shared a gallery of moments from the show on her social media, captioning it, "BOGOTA!!!! Thank you for a truly epic night!!! I'll be living off this adrenaline for the next few days." Her ability to connect with fans globally – in multiple languages – has been a highlight of her tour.
As Lipa wraps up her tour, she's giving fans one last treat with a pop-up taco shop in Mexico City. Taquería La Da, named after her songs, celebrates the tour's end with cleverly themed menu items like Taco Radical Optimism and Illusion Consomé.
Lipa's multilingual talents have been on full display, with her flawlessly incorporating Spanish into interactions and performances throughout her journey. It's clear she's not only capturing hearts with her music but also with her genuine effort to connect with diverse cultures and audiences.
Shoutout to Dua Lipa for bringing SoCal summer energy to every corner of the globe and keeping fans on their toes with each unforgettable performance.
