Dua Lipa Stuns Fans in Mexico City with Emotional Tribute to Selena Quintanilla
In the sweltering heat of Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros, Dua Lipa brought her highly-anticipated 'Radical Optimism' world tour to a heart-stopping conclusion. The British singer took to the stage to deliver a poignant rendition of Selena Quintanilla's classic hit "Amor Prohibido," paying tribute to one of Latin America's most beloved singers.
The unexpected twist added another layer of depth to Lipa's already ambitious plan of performing surprise regional covers at each show, this time in Spanish and Portuguese. This Latin American leg was the perfect setting for Lipa to showcase her vocal range and ability to seamlessly switch between languages. The rendition left fans spellbound, especially with Selena's iconic voice echoing through the stadium.
Lipa explained that she chose "Amor Prohibido" because it resonated deeply with her own experiences of belonging to two cultures – as a proud Albanian-English artist. This sentiment was evident in her choice of words, where she expressed a special connection with the song and its themes of love and identity.
This emotional tribute marked an end to Lipa's nine-month-long journey across Latin America. Throughout her world tour, she had built a reputation for delivering surprise covers that connected audiences on a deeper level. Whether it was in American country music or international classics, each rendition showcased Lipa's remarkable vocal range and willingness to take risks.
Lipa's decision to perform cover songs at every show was an idea born out of her fun experience singing with Chris Stapleton during the American Country Music Awards. She envisioned a more immersive experience for fans, where every night brought something new – a risk that seemed daunting but ultimately resulted in a highly engaging performance.
