Global pop sensation Dua Lipa delighted fans by taking them behind the scenes of her Radical Optimism world tour during her Texas performances this week.
In a video posted to Instagram on Friday, the Grammy-winning artist gave her followers a glimpse of pre-show excitement as she prepared to share the stage with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The clip showed Lipa getting her makeup done and slipping into a blue-and-white striped shirt before meeting the cheer squad, who surprised her with a pair of striking white cowboy boots. Captioning the video with humor and excitement, she wrote, “I’m ready for my pom-poms now!!!”
During her second night at Dallas’ American Airlines Center, the cheerleaders joined her onstage, swapping their traditional “Thunderstruck” routine for a lively performance of “Physical.” The crowd roared as the cheer squad, with their metallic pom-poms, kept in step with Lipa’s high-energy setlist.
The “New Rules” hitmaker later expressed her gratitude in a heartfelt post, thanking both her collaborators and her fans for making the Texas shows unforgettable. “What an incredible two nights!!! A jam-packed show with so many of our friends,” she wrote, also giving shoutouts to Leon Bridges and Loop Rawlins for special appearances.
Adding to the fun, her Instagram carousel included a playful clip of her being lassoed while sporting a Cowboys jersey. With Dallas wrapped up, Dua Lipa is now headed to Los Angeles, where she is set to perform at the Kia Forum on Saturday night, October 4.
