After more than a year of travelling the globe, Dua Lipa has officially wrapped up her Radical Optimism tour. From Southeast Asia to Australia, Europe, the United States and finally Latin America, the tour reached its grand finale in Mexico City with three dazzling shows. Glittering gold outfits, an emotional farewell message and her signature Instagram posts marked the end of this remarkable journey.
Throughout the tour, Lipa honoured every region she visited by performing covers of local musical icons. She sang Royals in Lorde’s New Zealand, performed with Charli xcx in London, and channelled Enrique Iglesias in Madrid.

Speaking to Variety, she shared how she practised non-English tracks by reading lyrics repeatedly while listening.
This talent became even more evident in Latin America as she delivered flawless performances in both Spanish and Portuguese. Below is a list of all her Latin American tributes.
