Dua Lipa's Heartfelt Dua: Honoring Aussie Icons
With her "Radical Optimism Tour" in full swing, Dua Lipa is winning hearts with her music and kindness, solidifying her position as a beloved artist among fans worldwide, her ability to connect with the audience and honor local music legends has been a hallmark of her tour.
Dua Lipa paid tribute to Australian music legends during her Melbourne concert, covering Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn" and Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head" in front of a sold-out crowd at Rod Laver Arena.
The British singer's setlist included a mix of her own hits and a new collaboration with JENNIE on the song "Handlebars." This is not the first time Lipa has covered iconic Australian artists, having previously performed AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" at the same venue. The crowd enthusiastically sang along to the iconic dance-pop track, which has become a staple of Australian music.
In addition to her musical performances, Lipa also made headlines for her kind gesture towards a fan during her concert on March 19. The fan requested that Lipa draw a tattoo design for them, and despite initial hesitation, the singer agreed and created a "love heart" design on paper. The gesture was met with positive attention on social media, with fans praising Lipa's sweet and thoughtful action.
Lipa's Australian tour will continue with sold-out shows in Sydney and New Zealand before heading to Europe and the US, where she will promote her album and tour extensively. The singer has mentioned that she may take a break from touring after this tour to focus on other projects and interests.
