Dua Lipa: Disco Queen or Dance Floor Diva? You Decide!

Alright, folks, buckle up because Dua Lipa just rocked Austin City Limits Music Festival, and she did it in style. This disco-loving club queen was actually good—like, really good. She was jumping around on that stage, whipping the crowd into a frenzy, and—get this—she even donned a University of Texas jersey. That’s right, she’s now part of the Horns tradition.

“There was a big game and you guys won,” she declared to the Zilker Park crowd on Saturday. Texas trounced OU, and everyone was rocking burnt orange. Yup, even the British star couldn’t resist joining the bandwagon.

“What do you think? See how alluring I am to all you guys?” she teased. But then, she hit us with “Be the One,” proving she’s not just about the looks. (Oh, and she wore the No. 1 jersey, because, of course, she did.)

Here’s the thing about pop: It’s not all glitter and glam. It’s got to have soul, and Dua Lipa’s got it. “Are we ready to go to the moon?” she asked, triggering a sea of fireworks with “Levitating.”

Sure, the sound was a bit muffled, and her mix could’ve been louder, but who cares? Amid dusty fields that looked like a war zone, zombie-like patrons were still mouthing the words. She had background dancers, red lights, and a pulsating band—it was an all-out extravaganza.

It’s dance music that matters, folks. It’s not just noise; it’s a message. It’s the most intense Pilates class you’ll ever take.

“I love spending time and enjoying the city and getting to know it,” she said, after taking Broken Spoke dance classes. “The drinks are good and the food is good and the vibes are amazing.”

When’s the last time you hit a nightclub? Young people go less now. Most people write off clubbing as hollow or sinful, but hey, it’s actually lowkey revolutionary.

And Dua’s not just about the dance floor. She’s spoken out against “genocide” in the Middle East, stood up for LGBTQ rights (though we might disagree there), and blasted sexism in her industry.

Dua’s platform isn’t just about music. She stands for LGBTQ rights. And she fights against sexism.

The history of house music is about partying in the shadows. Dua Lipa won by embracing this spirit. So, there you have it—love her or hate her, she’s making waves.
