Dua Lipa just turned Bogotá into a global love letter and the internet is still screaming about it. During her Radical Optimism Tour stop at Estadio El Campín, the British pop powerhouse shocked thousands when she launched into a fluent, emotional, absolutely crowd melting rendition of Shakira’s beloved “Antología.”
The stadium went from concert to cultural event in seconds.
A Shakira Tribute Straight from the Heart
Lipa did not just sing “Antología.” She felt it. She praised Shakira’s global impact before delivering the 1997 classic with surprisingly smooth Spanish and a stage presence that made Colombian fans claim her on the spot.
Shakira herself took notice. The Barranquilla icon posted the moment on Instagram Stories, pointing out that she wrote “Antología” in Bogotá and calling Dua’s performance a hometown treat. On the very same night, Shakira performed the same song across the continent in Asunción, Paraguay, unintentionally creating a transcontinental duet moment for over 100,000 fans.
Two stages. Two megastars. One anthem. Latin America loved it.
Dua Lipa Goes Full “Dua Lupita”
The cultural crossover did not stop there. When a fan tossed up a sombrero vueltiao, Lipa put it on without hesitation, sending the stadium into meltdown. By the end of the night, Colombia had unofficially granted her honorary citizenship and a new nickname.
Social Media Had Feelings
The reactions were instant, emotional, and chaotic in the best way.
