Dua Lipa achieves Spanish nationality to Enrique Iglesias and with a lot of radical optimism – Pledge Times

  • Dua Lipa began a world tour in 2024 to promote her third studio album, Radical Optimism, including concerts in Madrid and upcoming shows in England and 2026 Olympic Stadium events.
  • She released Radical Optimism after her highly successful Future Nostalgia album, which earned six Grammy nominations, but the new album received mixed reviews and less commercial impact.
  • Dua Lipa expressed strong ties to Spain, describing Madrid as home and blending into the local culture as part of her musical identity during the tour.
  • Her hit single Houdini from Radical Optimism accumulated 23 weeks on charts, while previous singles Levitating and Don’t Start Now surpassed 77 and 52 weeks in the US respectively.
  • The tour’s success and her embrace of Spain suggest a strategic and cultural connection that could influence her future work and presence in the Spanish music scene.
