Dua Lipa — Radical Optimism

[Jark]

tour kicked off in Australia today - new setlist, new stage and outfits, looking BANGIN'

Spoiler: setlist

act 3

the surprise song is a cover by an artist from whichever city she's playing - in Melbourne she's doing AC/DC

 

[Penelope]

She really is never acknowledging Dance the Night again, is she

 

[Jark]

it's there mashed up with Don't Start Now!

Kylie AGOG!

 

[Christian]

Tension Tour cancelled out of sheer embarrassment!

 

[K.C.]

Kylie citizenship scandal!

 

[Halli]

Dannii also too flabbergasted to continue filming I Kissed a Boy. 'I really thought Dua was going to cover Perfection' she was overheard telling long time confidant Dame Kathy Lette, crying down her iPhone 7.

I'm hoping we get some Dua Lingo action when she gets to Europe.

 

[K.C.]

Y'all make Dannii sound like she's just a part of Kylie's career.

 

[Halli]

She better cover Geru when she does the Watford Centre

 

[Joseph]

 

[Kratz]

Troye Sivan? I’d want a refund.

 

[Halli]

So she did cover Kylie the other night after all - she did CGYOOMH

 

[Jark]

@Pipo WILL YOU BE THERE

 

[Pipo]

after my disastrous experience with the Future Nostalgia tour I DOUBT IT Please let us breathe, the GAYS ARE BROKE!!!

Seeing Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Benson Boone, and others this weekend, I'm focused on that instead. (Plus Gaga in a few weeks).

 

[Jark]

8 dates in a span of 26 days - smells like in-built VACATION MODE

 

[Jark]

Benson Boone

GET TO FUCK

 

[Jark]

WHAT!

 

[Pipo]

Is it FROWNED UPON?

 

[Jark]

Is it FROWNED UPON?

I have to confess I don't know what a Benson Boone is, it just sounds bad (male)

 

[Joseph]

Benson is fun and makes cute music.

 

[Soldi]

Didn’t know where to put this but

[Jark]

the wig is really wigging

 

[K.C.]

I love the off-kilter bangs.

 

[Jark]

going to see my queen at her first ever UK stadium date TONIGHT this album aged really well for me and stays in regular rotation. can't wait to lose my shit to these lethargic bangers

 

[Jark]

I'm on cloud nine. I say that's my baby and I'm so proud etc etc. she's just such a fucking great popstar.

I won't ever be the same again

 

[Kratz]

I am really sorry I am missing her because this is absolutely my kind of show.

 

[Jark]

the sheer number of hits she has is shocking really given this is only her third album. Hallucinate, Illusion and Love Again (which sees her move to the B-stage within the crowd) got much bigger reactions than Break My Heart or Levitating (both tossed off quite early in the show). at one point I was like what's actually left? and it was Be The One, New Rules, Don't Start Now, Houdini...

Be The One is so magical. it was emotional! and Houdini fucking stomped as the final song, naturellement. 12/10.

 

[Halli]

Is it true she was going to bring out Kelly Wilde to cover Elton John's part in Cold Heart but she couldn't make it so she left it off the set list?

 

[FetchFugly]

They are a very fine couple:

 

[funky]

That first image is giving me

 

[Loufoque]

She's so pretty. I can't say I'm the biggest Dua fan, but I will always be happy for her to do well.

 

[K.C.]

Rumored to be doing Superbowl 2026 halftime show. Jay-Z and Chappell Roan also rumored to be in it.

 

[Joseph]

 

[Jark]

reportedly

rumored

mmhmmm

 

[Jark]

I don't see it - she holidays all year round while working, and she's been recording for a new album with different teams of writers and producers for the best part of a year now which doesn't scream BREAK to me

 

[Pipo]

A BREAK FROM WHAT exactly?

 

[Joseph]

A BREAK FROM WHAT exactly?

Baby it’s hard to be STUN FRESH GORGE 24/7
