Dua Lipa kicked off the European leg of her “Radical Optimism” world tour May 11 with a rendition of “Héroe” by Enrique Iglesias.
The pop singer surprised fans as she showcased her Spanish skills. Dua Lipa introduced the song and shared she was excited and nervous, but wanted to sing for the crowd a song in Spanish.
“Héroe” by Iglesias, a Spanish singer and songwriter, was released in 2001. Despite the track being over two-decades old, the crowd sang along with Dua Lipa the sentimental lyrics.
In response to the singer’s rendition of the song, the crowd cheered and applauded. Dua Lipa was seen taking in the crowd’s support with a smile and said “muchas gracias”.
Although some loyal listeners weren’t present for the surprise, they took on the comments section of the video to share their excitement.
“What a nice gesture!” one fan wrote. “Singing in Spanish a song of a Spanish singer in Madrid. Thank you, Dua.”
The singer’s performance left some fans wanting to hear more as one person commented “She should release an album in Spanish.”
Dua Lipa’s Love for Learning Languages
In December of last year, Dua Lipa showcased her passion for different languages in a Vogue interview.
“When I’m away I like to learn languages,” she told Vogue, “I have a teacher who I speak to on Zoom.”
Dua Lipa also shared she had a notebook for French and Spanish. “I think I’m going to stick to French and Spanish and try to get good at those first. And then if I can do it, then maybe Italian as well. But I speak Albanian fluently.”
Dua Lipa Heads to Latin America
The “Radical Optimism” world tour will be making its way to Latin America and will be kicking off on Nov. 7 in Argentina.
In September of last year, Dua Lipa announced her tour. Although the dates for Latin America were announced this year in April, fans were just as excited.
“YES!” one person commented. “So pumped for these new tour dates! The ‘Radical Optimism’ tour is going to be legendary, and I can’t wait to feel all the energy in Latin America! Ready to end the year on a high note with all the magic!”
The anticipation to sing along with Dua Lipa is also being shared by fans.
