"Starting in March, during the Oceania leg of her tour, Lipa began adding a destination-specific song to each show. And in many cases, she's also invited the local artist who wrote them to join her on stage. In Melbourne, the cover was "Rush" with Troye Sivan performing beside her; in Chicago it was "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan, with Khan in the flesh; and in São Paulo, it was "Magalenha" with Carlinhos Brown."
"Some were international hits, with a friendly reminder of the artists' roots, while others served as a launchpad for fans well outside the city to encounter new songs via clips that circulated of each concert. Now that the tour has ended-with her final show in Mexico City on December 5-we'll miss the guessing game that came to precede each performance, with audiophiles wondering which song would be chosen to pay homage to cities she visited."
Beginning in March during the Oceania leg of her tour, Dua Lipa added a destination-specific cover to each concert and often invited the original local artists to join her on stage. In Melbourne she performed "Rush" with Troye Sivan; in Chicago she covered Chaka Khan’s "Ain’t Nobody" with Khan present; in São Paulo she sang "Magalenha" with Carlinhos Brown. In Lima she performed "Cariñito." Some covers recalled the artists’ roots while others introduced new songs to wider audiences through circulated clips. The tour concluded in Mexico City on December 5, ending the city-specific guessing game.
